When I was little I used to love the Snuggle Fabric Softener commercials and absolutely adored the bear! My parents always did my laundry for me so when I came to college I was clueless. First trip to Target I found liquid Snuggle and was like, "Oh! they must make detergent now," so I bought it. A year and a half later I went shopping with my mother before coming back to Miami and remembered I needed more detergent..... I picked it up and my mom told me that I've been using fabric softener instead of detergent the whole time. Oops!!

When I was little, I didn't know that another name for rabbit is "hare". When I heard the story of "The Tortoise and the Hare", I thought is was "The Tortoise and the Hair". And in my mind, it was a race between a turtle and that red-haired monster from Looney Toons.

I never noticed that I was saying STEVE Madden instead of John Madden. It was just coming out. My husband and I have been together for four years and he just pointed that out a few months ago!

I have been saying it for years... Guess I had great shoes on the brain.

Until I was in junior high, I thought Chicago was pronounced "Chick-a-go". I knew there was a placed named "Shigago", but didn't realize the two were one and the same.

This is dumb-and sort of gross- but about 3 years ago-at age 23-I found out that after guys pee, the don't wipe-they shake. I never knew that!! All my guy friends laughed at me when I found this out-but I guess that I thought since we girls wipe, doesn't everyone??

I thought of something else that I never knew and this makes me sound like the dumbest person in the world.

I just found out about 2 weeks ago that Alaska is connected to Canada and is not an island. I've seen an Alaska license plate only once but I was so confused how it got here overseas. My ex-boyfriend had to tell me it was connected to Canada on the northwest side. I felt so dumb.

Up till 2 years ago.....

I didn't know that Carrot Cake actually had carrots in it.

I just thought it was named that because of the icing on top that was shaped like carrots...

I'm not a fan of Carrot Cake, so maybe that could be my excuse?

OK, thats bad stillnot bad as the guy I used to date who thought Washington DC was in Pennsylvania. (We're FROM PA) I posted this somewhere else so I'm not going to tell the whole story again, but its worth repeating because of how DUMB this normally smart guy sounded!!

One of the newest members of the alumni association thought that a 'black tie event' meant you were supposed to wear a suit and a black tie to the event.

lol.

Whataburger actually exisits? I raed about it once in a book, and thought it was a made up name.
