Pinch-hitting: Uncomfortable truths by Jan Moyer

I've never met Jan Moyer (@moyermama) in real life. She's Canadian! As a matter of fact, we haven't even known each other on social media for that long. 

But some people, when you find them, you just connect. And in Jan, I've found a real soul sister. She makes me laugh out loud (if you're not following her on Twitter, you're missing out on a daily treat), and we're constantly echoing each others' Tweets.
 
I KNEW that she'd be the perfect Canadian! addition to our lineup of pinch-hitters with Uncomfortable Truths, and Internet, she didn't disappoint. When I read her email of submissions, I grinned from ear to ear. And I bet you will, too. Here they are!

1. I read an entire book and pronounced Phoebe “Fobe” the whole time. Later learned it was Fee-Bee. Ditto on the character “George” from Nancy Drew. I still say “Gee-orge” in my head.

2. When I was home on my first maternity leave, I timed my lunch so I could watch “Arthur” (yes, of PBS and TVO fame) at noon most days. Baby laid on his blanket while I dined on leftovers or a grilled cheese and caught up on Arthur, D.W., Buster and all their friends.

3. I have never eaten cereal with milk. I have a bowl of cereal and a glass of milk. Take a bite, take a sip. That’s how it should be done and I’m proud to say I’m the first one to discover that.

4. When any form or survey asks me our annual household income, I always check “prefer not to say” because I prefer not to say that I don’t know.

5. One summer I was a bank teller and it was the most stressful job I have ever had. I was so tired of never balancing my till that one afternoon I took a twenty from my own wallet just to even things out. 

Now, go follow @moyermama on Twitter and on her blog! (Only 192 Twitter followers ... that's SHAMEFUL, Internet! Go get those numbers up.)

Remember, SHE'S CANADIAN!
