To be surprised that my 15yo son didn’t know the difference between a comb and a brush?

Just that really. I asked him to fetch the comb from the bathroom and he asked which one that was. I suppose that I assumed that by 15 he would know the difference and now I’m wondering what other basics we have failed to teach him. 😂

So, what lack of knowledge, either in someone else or yourself, have you been surprised by? (Lighthearted 😉)

Just had a language one with my husband. Realised he’s been saying ‘in one foul swoop’ all his life instead of ‘fell swoop’. I thought it was his accent but no. According to Google, he’s not alone though.
