People Are Sharing The Things They Learned Embarrassingly Late In Life
HuffPost
"That the underwear goes under, not over, the pantyhose. I thought that’s how you held them up. I was 40!"
As long as they’re innocent in nature, misunderstandings and things we mishear and then believe for years make life a whole lot funnier: Take, for instance, my former stepbrother, who, on a road trip, heard Lenny Kravitz’s cover of the Guess Who’s “American Woman” playing and bellowed, “A married woman, stay away from me!” from the backseat. (That’s absolutely not the correct lyric, but honestly, fair reading!)
With this idea in mind, we recently asked our readers some of the things they’d once believed up until very recently. See what they had to say below.
“About a year ago, I stumbled on a post talking about icks and quickly learned that I was doing something some may consider an ick: I now know the ‘l’ in salmon is silent. Whew!” ― Dotun Akande, a visual artist a storyteller at Marvel and Oni Press
“That a pony is not a miniature horse.” ― Carrie R.
“The difference between cicadas and tinnitus, and that other people can’t hear tinnitus.” ― Dawn M.
