Realized when I was playing with my daughter yesterday that the Humpty Dumpty song never acknowledges that he was an egg.

Didn't know what to tell her, lol

Ok there is no way I am the only one with this...

It took me until like last year (age 18) to finally get the "former vs latter" phrase.

For example. "If given the choice between Rodgers and Geno, I would take the former." I used to have to think about it, then finally get it based on the context clues. Like obviously its Rodgers...

Maybe I was the only one... Don't judge me lol

This is not a test.

Ha! That's awesome. Cannot wait to show my brother. He should find solace in the fact that both he and Kelly from Married... With Children shared the same misconception.

I'll admit it still confuses me.

I watched the first full season of Homeland (maybe more) before I realized that Saul was Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride.

Also, about 7-8 years ago I thought Timothy Olyphant and Josh Duhamel were the same person... I was like "Man, this dude is in everything".

Not exactly way too long,but took me until I was probably like 8 or something maybe before I realized that just cause people have same last name, doesn't mean they're related.

Some people at my school used to think same way too. So when we were younger,and saw a teacher with a last name that's the same as someone famous, we'd always think they're related lol. What a small world back then.

Haha I remember the first time I discovered that my mom and dad actually had names. I mean I was like a little kid or baby or whatever the hell, but still it was this weird conceived notion that their names couldn't possibly be anything else other than "Mom" or "Dad."

And a related topic, when you were little in school, finding out a teachers first name was like the main mystery every student wanted to find out lol. Cause back then it was always like "Mr.____" or "Mrs.____" and stuff, but that was it. Finding out they had a first name......a teachers least fave day when their 6 year old students call them by their first name.

When I was young I thought that players for professional teams were all natives of the area in which they played. i.e. All of the Pittsburgh Steelers were born and raised in Pittsburgh.

And I thought everyone hated each other. Meaning you shouldn't even be interacting with the other team, but if you do, it's all trash talk and stuff. Then one day I saw one of my fave players on 1B just laughing and talking with the other team.....Ya, that was a let down moment at the time lol.

To go off Ghost of the Year's post. College sports team and European soccer clubs have nicknames like Stanford Cardinal and Manchester United Red Devils.

Something else I thought of recently....There was a time I actually thought funnel cake was cake through a funnel. Meaning it's like abunch of cake/frosting blended up and fed to people through a funnel, like when people at a party drink from a funnel.

Mostly cause the only people I used to hear talking about funnel cake were teenagers and stuff.
