When I was 4 years old I thought everyone and everything was either black or white, and color wasn't invented until color photographs and television.

I'm surprised I've made it this far in life.

I thought the thing you hang your clothes on in the closet was a "co-hanger" till I was about 12.

In my mid twenties, I did a radio interview in which I pronounced "continuity" as "continue-ity." I was a grad student at that point. But I honestly thought that was an alternate pronunciation.

I'm now in my mid thirties and a few years ago my husband had to physically drag out a dictionary to show me that you don't say the y in "martyr."

My son used to say "New Marlins Saints", when I'd come home from fishing.

QB sacks - Scooby snacks
QB sneaks - Scooby sneaks

Brief case - Broof case. I combine this one with suitcase, and my mom just thought it was cute. Awesome when I was in 5th grade and figured it out.

When I first found out about gay sex, I thought it went like this...



And yes, I took this gif from reddit, but I love it because I agree.

Amenities, I called them "anemities" until not long ago.

When we were young my cousin thought replays were shown in "slow commotion"

LSShoe


I still remember the circle convos I would have with my dad about this.

Me: "Why is it called L-S-Shoe dad?
Dad: "It stands for Louisiana State University."
Me: "I know, but why is it called L-S-Shoe?"

He finally got the point when I drew and L and S and a shoe on drawing I made for him.

Going to blow your mind when you find out it is an oscillating fan.
