1.
That puffer fish don’t use air to inflate.
2.
That roadrunners are not the size of an emu.
3.
That if you wear a white bra, you can see it through a l white shirt, but if you wear a nude colored bra, you can’t. I was 40 when a coworker shared this with me.
4.
I learned, when I was 46 years old, that my pet ducks we had as children, did not in fact fly south for the winter. Every winter.
5.
The the longest time I always heard of sports teams “Drafting” people. And I am tall, so as a kid I was constantly afraid I’d get drafted for the state basketball team just out of the blue, I thought it worked like a military draft.
6.
I learned how to ride a bike at the ripe age of 24.
7.
I thought the D is Disney was just some random symbol, kinda like a backwards G. It took me until like 7th grade to realize it and even as an adult I still can’t unsee the backwards G.
8.
Corned beef wasn’t made by cattle that were strictly fed corn. My mom couldn’t stop laughing.
9.
Ponies are NOT baby horses
10.
I thought an armadillo was a reptile rather than a mammal.
11.
That narwhals are real. I thought they were cute mythological creatures, until I saw a brooch a friend had and asked if it was part of the companies mythological line. She asked me if I thought narwhals were myths, like unicorns. I laughed and said of course they are.
12.
I only learned about a week ago that the saying “champing at the bit” is NOT “chomping at the bit,” so I understand where a lot of these folks are coming from:
13.
It’s “for all intents and purposes” not “for all intensive purposes”
14.
I thought everyone’s mouth got itchy when eating bananas. Almost 40 years old and find out I’m somewhat allergic to them.
15.
That our next door neighbors were lesbians and not just “good friends”. Lovely people. Didn’t figure it out until I was in college
16.
At roughly 37, I learned pineapples grew from the ground. Not from a tree.
17.
“Rotating tires” doesn’t mean spinning them around in place like you’re in a Fast and the Furious movie. It means you swap each of their positions on the car.
18.
At 42 years-old, I realized there is no donkey in Donkey Kong.
19.
“Paradigm” is pronounced “pear-uh-dime”. It is definitely NOT pronounced “pear-uh-dig-um”.
