I dont remember the age, but it was before Kindergarten, thought men came into the house at night to load the next days shows into the TV.
So many things…
I didn’t understand how lie detectors were supposed to work so I thought you could hook someone up and ask something like “does god exist” and you’d be able to get answers to all of life’s big mysteries.
I thought there was a left and right sock
I thought wolverines were mythical creatures
I thought if I tried hard enough I could somehow become older than my older brother like it was just a title or something
Thanks to DARE any time I saw a skittle with the S missing I thought it was drugs even in a newly opened package
I could go on…
I wanted an older sibling as a child and I remember trying to convince my parents they should have another baby. In my mind, if I just waited (my age +1) years, I’d then have an older sibling. It never ocurred to me that I would also age during that time…
I’m surprised an older sibling was something you wanted, usually you want to be the oldest.
Your comment about your brother reminds me that in kindergarten I thought that the line order (alphabetical) had something to do with status. My last name starts with C so I was pretty close to the front, but I had a friend with an A for a last name, so I really wanted to move up.
I told no one of this of course until long after I’d grasped how alphabetical ordering worked myself.
My feet are normalish (well, far too wide but normal length) and my running socks are left and right.
For example for sport and hiking. Those have support structures that need to work differently for the side they are worn on.
