When my son was young, I drove through a fast food store and we ate in the car. He told me not to drink my coke because you're not supposed to drink and drive! When I was a teenager, my parents never talked about money in front of us kids. They thought we didn't need to know about their finances. I actually thought that a tv and a fridge and a car all cost about the same.

I was born in the late 50's, I was quite young (remember-quite young) during the Viet Nam war, and when I heard the reports of guerilla warfare I thought our soldiers were actually fighting against gorillas.

I wondered how the people fit in the radio - and how they knew to talk when we turned it on.

On older envelopes it would say "within five days return to sender" on the upper left hand corner.
I thought the recipient was supposed to do that. (I was/am so dumb/literal-minded - wonder how I've survived this long!) |

When I was little I thought car insurance covered all repairs (engine, brakes, etc.)

Okay.. here we go.. I'm in my 60's and only learned today that the switch for your garbage disposer actually turn on and off the outlet for the disposer.. there isn't a switch on the disposer itself.. Gee, I thought every single appliance in the world was turned off and on at the appliance, not the outlet!! I guess you don't have to be young to have some idea that's WRONG!! (I found that out when I wanted to use the other side of the outlet under the sink for a fan! The fan would only work when the disposer was on.. so I had to ask my husband.. He laughed at me)
