And then my mind was blown...
I'd like to think I'm a smart person.
Not overly intelligent, per se, but passable by most college standards.
But I feel pretty secure in my knowledge of common things, like types of animals and the assorted types of cheese I come across at the grocery store, and may even impress you with my extensive memorization of movie quotes.
But today my mind was blown.
I was reading with Josh in his science book, and listened attentively to myself as I read, thoroughly enjoying what I was reading aloud (no, I don't preread things. I don't have that kind of time or attention span).
It went like this:
"Cetaceans are divided into two different kinds: baleen whales and toothed whales. A baleen whale has no teeth....(blah blah blah, let's get to the good part)....when you think of the word whale, you probably imagine a huge creature. BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT A DOLPHIN IS A KIND OF WHALE, TOO?"
At the same time both Josh and I yelled "WHAT???"
Mind. Blown.
Like so much whaley-dolphin blow-hole snottery.
And with all my brains splattered on the ceiling courtesy of my new blow-hole, I sat in a stupor for five minutes trying to understand why my entire life was a lie.
Anyway.
Yeah.
