So I think I'm pretty intelligent. I know stuff. I get stuff. I am not an idiot. I often claim to know everything... or everything worth knowing...
BUT.
I am happy to admit that there are a few things in my life that I have thought that were just plain dumb.
Here are...
The Top Five Dumb Things I Used to Think
I used to think Detroit was a country in Eastern Europe. Near Beirut. Which I also thought was a country in Eastern Europe.
I mistook the lyrics to the Kenny Rogers Song 'Lucille'. The line is: 'Four hungry children and a crop in the field.' I thought it was: 'Four Hundred children and a cross bred blue seal'
I used to think that if you farted, and you sniffed vigorously enough, you could suck up all the smell before anyone else smelled it. I called it the Fart Vacuum.
I thought the purple pod things that fall of banana trees were poisonous and would burn you if you touched them. Wait, I thought that because my sister told me they were! I may be dumb, but she is evil :-)
Until my late twenties, I thought New Zealand was where Papua New Guinea is. I couldn't understand why it was so cold there if it was closer than us to the Equator. Note that I am now married to a cartographer.
So, what dumb things did you used to think?

I used to think that the little flowers on apple trees etc were just cute little flowers that grew near the apples, until my smarty pants husband told me the cute little flowers WERE the apples (or the start of them, anyway). That was last year. I am quite old. I also used to think that Olivia Newton-John and I were somehow separated at birth (I was about 10 and she was ... much older). I also used to think it was quite amusing to tell my little sisters that the purple things that fall off banana trees were poisonous and would burn you if you touched them ...**insert evil laugh here **...
ReplyDeleteYou commented!! Yay!!! You and livvy could totally be twins!
ReplyDeleteOh dear lord woman you crack me up. Fart vacuum. Seriously? Lmao!
ReplyDeleteUp until I met hubby I believed that my friends dad from primary school job was dying flamingos pink. True story and proudly told hubby (my new boyfriend at that time) luckily he saw through my stupid and he stuck around despite the fact I've showed him plenty more stupid then that.

therefore, I love to hold a stature of role-model and be a guiding path for emerging talents who are willing to thrive in their professional as well as academic life and let them leverage my eloquent composing abilities as one of the most sought-after online dissertation help writers, empower their intellectual foresight in the intricate and sophisticated concepts of Humanities, sharing insights with my research prowess and comprehensive experience.
ReplyDeleteWe all have those moments when we look back and think about the "dumb things I used to think." One thing I used to underestimate was the importance of Custom Document Solutions. Now, I see how valuable they are! Super Fast Document Company really changed my perspective. Their team offers tailored services that make everything so much easier. With their help, I realized just how important it is to have the right documents for any situation. It’s a total game changer!
