When I was young and someone sneezed, I thought others responded with "Bleshu" which was a unique word whose only purpose was to be spoken to someone after they sneezed.
Grown-ups would sneeze, I would say bleshu and they would thank me.
I got to a far-too-old age before I realized they were saying bless you.
What childhood misunderstanding did you carry far too long into adulthood?

"Bless you is just as silly though. "
It apparently stems from the black death, one of the symptoms was sneezing so people would say "God bless you" because you were probably going to die in the next few days  |

"I thought the Draft was a person, when my mum or dad used to say keep the door shut or you'll let that draft in, I thought it was a man they didn't want to open the door to. "
😂
That Draft gets around a bit! |

My dumbass thought that because old TV shows were in black and white, life itself was in black and white
I have a distinct memory of asking my mother when colour came to the world and her just looking at me like 'fuck, did I drop him on his head or something' |

Blessed means 'happy' so... It's like saying 'happy you'. |

"I hadn’t realised, until fairly recently, that strippers poles rotated
How did you find that out and more to the point why have you been so concerned about stripper poles? "
Because I grabbed one recently for support (a pole not a stripper) and genuinely had a WTF moment. All this time I thought that the spinning around by pole dancers holding on to one was due to slippery hands and slick thighs.. which MADE NO SENSE because how did they then manage to stay up the pole?! A little of the magic has gone… |

I thought the word "pronto" was an insult. My dad would say "tidy your room, pronto!" with much exasperation as I'd never do it the first time of asking.
One day I stomped up the stairs shouting "And I'm not a pronto!!!".
He still calls me a pronto  |

When I was young I used to think Draculas' name was: 'Clint Dracula'.
What sort of a name is: 'Count'? I asked someone when they corrected me one day.
We live and learn. |

My dad explained to me, that you had to turn full beam off passing other cars as it would blind the other drivers ... I was terrified getting in the car at night 🥺😬 |
