I once actually thought that when movies and shows were developing, I thought that they were being made within the year of their release date. I didn’t know that these projects were sometimes done in advance or took years to make.
That when ‘Commercial Breaks’ happened during shows, I thought they meant that the actors needed a break before resuming. Not realizing that episodes are already made and commercials just interrupt things to just sell you shit.
When I learned food and drinks were energy for your body, I actually thought that when I got sleepy or tired, I just needed to drink or eat something. Not realizing that it wouldn’t have mattered.
Even as a kid I knew the adults were full of shit. Like, “why are you bullshitting me? Do you think I’m dumb?”
Obviously kids weren’t supposed to have critical thinking skills, and that was my problem, apparently. It sure got me into a lot of trouble…
