Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
You are correct. I tried to clue my grandson in a couple of years ago by stating “something about Aunt Sally”... he responded with “I dunno, she sell seashells down by the seashore?”. I hurt myself laughing!
This probably explains why space vehicles crash into the moon, or miss their splashdowns... why cruise missiles hit children’s hospitals, etc.
Please excuse my dear aunt sally.
