My mom was doing her best.

 was at least 50 when I learned that the little piggy who went to market wasn’t shopping.

I learned where “Pulling out all the stops” came from a couple of years ago (watching a documentary on Interstellar’s music).

It’s from playing organs…air is blown thru the organ’s pipes to play notes – and you have “stops” in there if you don’t want a particular pipe to play. So when you pull out all the stops, you get all the pipes playing…

I’m not “quirky”, I have ADHD. I’m in my 50s.

My sister learned recently that when you’re at the grocery store and opening the egg carton that you’re checking for cracked eggs and not just making sure that they are in fact eggs in the carton.

How the American bail system works.

I thought it was a sum of money you paid to avoid jail. I was surprised when I realized you get the money BACK if you show up for your trial.

I am 19 and I have had ADHD and a sleeping disorder my whole life. I decided to go to the doctor and figure out wtf was wrong with me after I turned 18. Turned out I wasn’t stupid just undiagnosed going without meds. So now just about every adult looks at me like a lazy bum that fell asleep in every class and couldn’t pay attention or understand assignments. When I got on meds (senior year) I was #16 of my class in the top 20%.

I was like 25 when I found out the jugs of washer fluid outside the gas station aren’t free. I was walking out of the gas station with a buddy one day, grabbed a jug of washer fluid, and he asked me “did you just steal that?” And I was like “No, dude, it’s free”. It’s not, I stole washer fluid for nearly ten years of driving and no one ever said anything to me about it.

In high school science class we were watching a video and it was then that I realized Reindeer are, in fact, real creatures and not just mythical beings for the purpose of pulling Santa’s sled.

That the drummer for Nirvana really was Dave Grohl, and not just a guy that looks really similar.
