What are 10 things every responsible adult should know?

Okay, so today, my father-in-law, who recently moved to my area, called me to find out who our representative is. As in, US House of Representatives…and I got it wrong. Granted, I got the next district over, lol, but still…you would think I would know that as a responsible citizen.

That got me to thinking. I SHOULD know that. RIght? And now I do. But what else is there, that responsible adults, who are concerned about their community, their country, their kids, the environment (and the list goes on), should know? And, have that information basically at their fingertips? What would you be embarrassed about, if your kids asked you something, and you didn’t know the answer?

At the end of the day, I’m trying to come up with a personal top TEN list…but I know that’s a lot to think about & write, so I’d appreciate if people would share their opinion, even if it’s their personal top one, two or three things we all should know. If you wanna go ten (or more), the more the merrier, I say!
