So I saw this on another forum I lurk on - What are some of your own personal "I'm an idiot" moments. Like, the most ridiculous things that you thought when you were younger & then had an "a-ha!" moment in adulthood, or things that you have said that have made you want to crawl under a rock and die.
I'll start.
When I was little, and looked at old pictures of my parents & grandparents that were in black & white, I actually thought the world was black & white. I said to my mom "It's sad that you had to grow up with no color."
When I was like 9 or 10, I wanted those things on the spokes of my bike that made the clinking noise. You know, these stupid things:
My mom said no because they were annoying (they were.) So, one day, I'm riding my bike and think "I bet if I put my foot out to rub on the spokes, it'll make that same noise." It didn't. The spokes caught my foot, stopped the bike right on the spot, and I flipped over the handle bars. I never told anyone because I thought I would get in trouble for making such a stupid decision. Ah, youth.
