guessing what

As a kid, whenever I shared really cool information, I prefaced it with “guess what”. It may be a juvenile colloquialism, but it still comes out of my mouth on a regular basis.

My parents are passionate genealogists. Because of this, I’ve learned incredible things about my distant relations who lived long ago. Guess what? I’m a descendant of Vikings.

I rent a little house in a gardening family’s backyard. Because of this, I’ve learned incredible things about strange, majestic plants. Guess what? The artichoke is a member of the sunflower family.

Have you asked anyone to “guess what” lately?
