It is our family's shame.
That might be worse than either of mine. Gotta watch out for those booksmart folks. I've met a few who you'd swear were on the spectrum but are whip smart.

Oh damn, that’s dumb! What are her degrees in? Please don’t say forestry or horticulture!

2. I thought when someone "paid cash" for something, they literally paid with paper bills. If someone told me they paid cash for a new car or house, I assumed they just showed up with duffel bags of cash
At least once a year I have people who come into my office expecting a suitcase full of cash from their home sale. One man brought his case into the office that he thought was big enough to handle the cash.

I'm 57 and just figured out a month ago that the oval shaped toilets in our house allow you to straddle so as not to drip piss on the floor.

Back when we were still in high school, I once convinced her that Lance Armstrong had his heart surgically enlarged so that it could pump more blood and, thus move more oxygen through his system, and that was why he was so dominant in his sport. I even threw in that it wasn't against any rules because it wasn't a "Performance Enhancing Drug", it was a medical procedure.
She would later state that as fact over a family dinner. It was amazing.

"I'll just back the car up and pop the trunk, kay?" At least I'm not the only one apparently.

I paid for my truck with literal cash. The salesman was like 19 years old and I thought he was going to lose his mind after he saw that green

That education and intelligence were related.

I used to think that the North Pole was cold (Santa Clause, etc) and the South Pole was hot (Heat Miser - duh!).
I was in 3rd grade, but I still remember the shame I felt when my classmates laughed at me.
I’m still hurting from the sting of embarrassment.

You gotta be careful there. It's an echo chamber.

That Tom Herman would have been the best hire LSU could make in 2016. Boy was I wrong
