I was about 30 years old when I realized that pickles were cucumbers. Felt pretty dumb.

Friend,

When I was eight I journeyed through a very short month of atheism.

Yours,

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.



I’m the same way because I take things literally. If I say I paid cash I mean I used paper cash. If I paid in full with a check I say “I wrote a check for it”

I thought that when you got married you would never have to worry about getting seks again. Turns out I was almost right... I never got seks again.

I used to think that the % chance of rain was equivalent to how hard it was going to rain. 10%, light drizzle, 100%, downpour. My dad corrected me, I was maybe 10.

I still don't know when to use "effect" vs "affect". Someone will post an explanation for me and then in a month I will forget again.

My miconceptions about female anatomy and how it works lasted well into high school

The first time I saw a porn movie (6th grade I think) I was shocked to see the actual penetration. I just thought that having sex was rubbing my stuff against her stuff. Kinda like dry humping.

I thought pulling my pud would make me go blind. I can see that it isn't true.

Its the intentional misstatement of the issue that gets people into silly discussions. The correct statement is: Burning jet fuel softens (or weakens) steel beams. In the pertinent discussion, the melting temperature of steel is utterly irrelevant to all but the wingnuts.

I guess I had a sheltered childhood because I believed in Santa until 7th grade when I asked if some Christmas story we were reading was true in front of my English class.


Wait - Santa is not real?

What about the Easter Bunny?

Back in the 70s, there were TV commercials for a Kiss radio. It was a small 9 volt radio with pictures of Kiss on it. I thought it played only Kiss songs.

That is a well-guarded secret that, I am certain, is a jarring shock to many young men. Takes years to get over learning this one, too.

A friend of mine thought the country Panama was an island.

Yep, they built the Panama Canal through an island.
