    When I was little, my mom dropped me and her friends kid off at a church for arts and crafts, I was 5. We we given toilet paper rolls, pipe cleaner, glue, and some other stuff to make butterflies. I studiously started making mine, I got the wings, the antenna and asked what I was supposed to use for the legs. A full grown ass women look me right in the eye and said “Butterflies don’t have legs”.

    I had seen butterflies land on flowers and latch on with legs, I was so confused how an adult wouldn’t know that.

      I remember asking my teacher why you could see the moon during the day and my teacher told me you couldn’t.

      This too left me very confused, because I had seen the moon that very morning from the school yard.
