I've recently discovered that my children view the year 1999 the same way I viewed the Civil War.

They see it not as a time period. But as a historical event.

The other day I mentioned something from high school.

One of my kids deadpan looked at me and asked: "Wait... was that in the 1900s?"

The. 1900s.

As though I personally witnessed the invention of electricity.

As though I was present when the Wright brothers first achieved flight.

For the record, yes.

It was technically the 1900s. I get that. But that doesn't mean you have to say it out loud.

The disrespect is unnecessary

Every adult over the age of 32 eventually says the exact same sentence: “They should teach this in school.”

In this episode of The Sarah Says Things Podcast, Sarah explores what she calls the "billion-dollar delusion"—the widespread belief that winning a massive lottery jackpot would permanently solve life's problems. With her signature blend of humor and relatable storytelling, she examines why so many people daydream about instant wealth, even while the odds are astronomically low, and argues that the fantasy is often less about money than it is about wanting freedom, security, and relief from everyday stress. Rather than simply poking fun at lottery players, the episode reflects on the universal hope that one lucky break could change everything.

From losing an hour of sleep to forgetting to reset the microwave, Sarah explores the annual ritual of changing the clocks and why it somehow manages to throw everyone's schedule into chaos. She shares humorous observations about groggy mornings, confused pets, forgotten appointments, and the ongoing debate over whether Daylight Saving Time should stay, go, or just leave us alone.

Along the way, she mixes humor, relatable storytelling, and the kind of everyday observations that will have you laughing and wondering why we all do this.
