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

My little sister used to belt out Madonnas famous hit song "Like A Fir Tree".... had us in stitches but we didn't really want to explain what a virgin was.

@OuchLegoHurts just did a proper LOL at roundabout plaus.

And the worst thing is that I still hear it every time @TeaAndToast85 !

I thought the Elgin Marbles were large perfectly smooth spheres...like, er marbles

I still remember the day I found out that Narwhals are actually real animals, not just mythical beasts. I saw a narwhal's tusk in a museum and it totally shook me. I was 26.

I thought dragons were prehistoric, like dinosaurs. Not sure when I figured it out. Maybe in my 20's?

I was also surprised that the Elgin marbles weren't more marble-like.

These threads always make me feel slightly better about some of the dodgy stuff I used to believe when I was (a bit) younger.

Mind blown at piggy not popping to the market to do the weekly shop, including the roast beef for his mate!

I had no idea until this very moment that the piggy hadn't gone shopping to buy the roast beef. Innocence shattered.

And I thought the Isle of Wight was off the coast of Scotland. Until I was 35.

FlakeBook I'm assuming you live neither in Hampshire or Scotland! 😂

I have a friend who was brought up in Portsmouth, he thought the Beatles 'ticket to ride' was 'ticket to Ryde' in the IOW.

His mind was blown when I told him it's about prostitution.

I didn't know that about "this little piggy went to market" either. It's really sad! But I think I'll stick with my vision of piggy going off to market to shop, not be bought!

I'm in my 40s by the way.

sashh 😂

I am the worst, most gullible, lacking in common sense person ever I think. Thought tuna was actually round and chopped up vertically so it fitted into tins, had no idea that the wind blew clouds around, also got very confused about the dodgy batch of 'ambulance' and 'police' signs on back to front and kept looking for the big shed where the electric fences are plugged in - imagining a massive three point plug in a shed wall. All of these were only explained to me in the 10 years. I'm 53....
Sad 😢
