Just for laughs: things I realised far too late

Laugh and the world laughs with you, or more possibly at you.

I can’t resist sharing this Mumsnet thread, hope it makes you laugh like I did

Things I only realised late into adulthood:

  • That capers aren’t tiny fish
  • That Iraq is not a place between Birmingham and Wales
  • That ducks can fly
  • That Casablanca is a real place, not just created for the film. Like Narnia or Westeros.
  • That worthless doesn’t mean the same thing as priceless!
  • I thought Freddy Flintoff and Andrew Flintoff were brothers
  • That Pakistan is not the capital of India
  • That broccoli doesn’t grow on trees
  • That a killer whale is part of the dolphin family and not a whale
  • That seahorses are not mythical creatures
  • That badgers are real
  • That Pennsylvania is not a fictional place where vampires come from
  • That the potato comes from South America, not England
  • That Portsmouth is an island
  • That penguins aren’t 6ft tall
  • That pineapples grow on the ground
  • That marrows are big courgettes
