To have thought Mother Theresa was from biblical times?

[LittleMisslikestobebythesea]

When I was younger (not in my twenties oh no) I was convinced Mother Theresa was from biblical times until I saw her on the news.

I was absolutely convinced and one of my friends the same age as me thought the same!

Please tell me I’m not the only one who thought this

I used to think ‘ellumennerpee’ was a letter of the alphabet

I do like the idea of cooling towers being cloud factories!

Mother teresa was an evil opponent of abortion and contraception and was responsible for a lot of suffering.

I thought imbecile was a kind of seal.

An Imber Seal.

I still call seals Imbers!

I am also the same poster who only recently got why Shaun the sheep is called Shaun

As a Catholic I was not happy that MT was canonised at all. Let alone so soon after her death. No way is she a saint.

Why is Shaun called Shaun?

I also thought that Center Parcs was under a dome. Have never been to one - even though I now know there is no dome, I still think I'd be a bit disappointed when I got there

I also used to think Ray Liotta was called Rayleigh Otter.

These are all funny but from child logic, so not so bad. It took me three watches of the new advert to get that TUI were self referencing the new logo in the new advert. My only defence is I don't get much sleep with a small baby.

Stealth is that why my stomach does a somersault when I meet Father Christmas?

Because, Toddlertea, for many people Shaun sounds the same as 'shorn'. A shorn sheep is one that has had its fleece sheared off.

slowly is that true or are you just a fan of fhe American version of The Office?

Why is Shaun called Shaun?

Because he is a sheep and 'Shaun' sounds like 'shorn' (pp of 'to shear').

She certainly looked old enough to have been from ancient times. (Always reminded me of a Galapagos Turtle)

I thought 'trick or treat' was actually 'treacle treat'
I thought penguins never flew because their wings were frozen.
I thought that santa was actually Jesus dressed up, and I felt sad that on his birthday he gave presents to everyone.
I thought belly buttons were there just incase you ate too much. (Was petrified of my food going to leak out if it)

After watching Chitty Chitty bang bang I was convinced there were no children allowed in belgium, I quietly worried about all the children locked up, and was concerned about all the sad Mummy's and Daddy's. Then I got scared that they might change the rules in England and I'd get taken away.

I thought that the sun during the day turned into the moon at night.
I was 25 before anyone realised and I was corrected (and ridiculed).

She thought and acted like she was from biblical times a very cruel woman

I thought little people lived in the TV I used to wonder how so many could and when they knew it was their to be on screen I pictured them having bunk beds and a little kitchen we only had three channels then and no flat screens so visible

I used to also worry about songs running out would all the songs be written and no new songs be available what would ABBA do

I struggled with that onecyoo mini I went to a convent catholic school so they were very big on the religious aspect of Xmas and Easter I was about nine or ten before I realised Jesus didn't age 33 years between Xmas and Easter of one year.

One too*

I thought Mother Theresa was a wonderful, caring woman until reading this thread

In my defence, first dh was Albanian so had it drummed into me that 'the best human on Earth was Albanian'. Feel quite stupid now.....

I thought champagne was carbonated until only a few years ago.

@Oysterbabe Is it not?? How come it's fizzy then?? Mind blown!!

I was amazed to discover that the Netherlands and Holland were the same place and that the people were Dutch

Well I guess technically it is but the bubbles form as a natural part of the fermentation process over several months. I thought they just forced carbon dioxide into like they do with lemonade or something.
