TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Mother-Daughter Duo Make History In The Skies

Whatever your parents did for a living when you were younger, maybe you followed in their footsteps and took that career path. Or maybe they owned a family business that you worked at and took over. This happened a lot. But not always up in the air with pilots. Especially women pilots.

Southwest Airlines just had the first ever mother-daughter co-pilot team on one of their flights last month. Captain Holly Petitt, the Mom, had been flying for years. Then last weekend for the first time her daughter Keely Petitt joined her in the cockpit for a flight from Denver to St. Louis. Keely says she always knew she wanted to do what her mom does since she was a kid.

Such a cool moment for them! You go, girls.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why is it called a Caesar Salad?

A lot of people assume that the caesar salad was inspired by Julius Caesar in Rome. But that isn’t true at all. It was actually named after the man who invented the salad in 1924, and Italian-American restaurant owner named Caesar Cardini

It wasn’t even created in Italy! It was Tijuana, Mexico. Cardini, who lived in California, moved Mexico to get his restaurants away from the prohibition rules which was happening at the time. He ended up coming up with the simple idea for the salad during a Fourth of July dinner rush in 1924. He had to use the only ingredients he had left in the kitchen, which we now know as the Caesar Salad.
