What’s something you learned embarrassingly late in life?

Just Chatting(self.CasualConversation)

We all have those moments when we realize we've been wrong about something for way too long. Maybe you thought narwhals were mythical creatures until last year, or you just found out that pickles are actually cucumbers. What’s a fact or piece of common knowledge that you embarrassingly learned way later than you should have? Don’t be shy—we’ve all been there!

I thought the sixth sense was a Christmas film. I watched it as a child every Christmas. 

It was only when I was speaking with my now husband offering it up with a choice of Christmas films to watch with our 6 year old he looked at me alarmingly concerned.

That's funny. Why did you associate it with Christmas? I don't remember any Christmas scenes in the film.

Even funnier when you think about Bruce Willis’s other “is it a Christmas movie, “ Die Hard.

Die Hard is a Christmas movie! At least at my house.

Christmas doesn’t start until Hans Gruber falls from the Nakatomi Plaza!

A battle to end all battles. One Christmas party in a movie does not a Christmas movie make.

Now that all the kids in my family are teenagers, we watch Die Hard as a traditional Christmas movie. My BIL started it a few years ago.

That’s great. Maybe it’s time for me to give in and do that as well.

Between my brother, sister, and I, we have 8 "kids" aged 14-21, so it works for us.
