How many smidgens are in a scooch?

In response to last week’s question, " How many smidgens are in a scooch?," my birthday bud Jon asked, "Full-size or mini smidgens?"

My transportation friend Chris surmised, "I can't say for sure but I believe that the number of smidgens that are in a scooch are equal to the number of licks that it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop."

My running and construction friend Matthew recalled, "I was always taught that RCH is the smallest measurement and that 2 RCHs equals a smidgen and 2 smidgens equals a scooch and 2 scooches equals you screwed up your measurement.  Of course, I learned this from the same superintendent that asked me why this board that he measured once and cut twice was still too short.  So, take the information for what it is worth."

My equestrian friend Royce noted that "it depends on how many schooches you have."  Yet my writing and sailing

Rich explained, "Two thousand, two hundred and twenty two, unless of course it is a left handed scooch."

My sailing friend Kurt confessed, "I thought it was scootches to a smidgen."  And my dad's beach buddy Bob shared, "I have no idea.  Is it something you eat in school?"

Please share your thoughts about this week's "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:

Can you be too optimistic?

Lord, give me a sense of humor; give me the ability to understand a clean joke; to get some humor out of life, and to pass it on to other folks.
