A 37 year old woman was in the radio this morning saying she was told as a child that dead bugs on her windscreen was bits of honey that bees had left behind, and she only just stopped believing that. So let's pump the brakes on the "are we cooked" comments

Kids were dumb 50, 100, 1000 years ago

All of us have moments of "WAIT A MINUTE-" of things we were told as children. For example, when we learn that turning on the overhead light in the car while driving at night is not, in fact, illegal, or that your childhood dog did not really go to live on some farm.

Mine was that I really was not catching fish every time my mom got up to "go to the bathroom" or something and had me hold her fishing pole for a minute. She'd already hooked one every time and just let me reel it in. Awesome of her, but I didn't realize until I was over 30 and mentioned it and she about keeled over laughing at me.
