I thought that if at a movie theater it said playing on two screens, it meant that you had to watch the movie on a spit screen. I didn’t find out what it actually meant until I was about 14. Full on left movie theaters because I didn’t want to watch a movie on a split screen.

It was only about 5 years ago (I'm 57 now) that I realized the Domino's Pizza logo was a domino. I'd only ever seen the black w/white dots style and didn't make the connection. When I pointed out what a coincidence it was, he couldn't stop laughing.

I was about 12 when I found out that "laurels" are the fronds of a plant. I thought it was a polite term for your f***y. Thus the "resting on your laurels" saying did not mean "just sitting around."

It took me about 20 years to realize the song 'Lola' by the Kinks wasn't a typical boy-meets-girl song. I was a sheltered child.

My dad always said you can catch a bird by putting salt in its tail. I was about 40 years old before I realized that if you're close enough to put salt on a bird's tail, you're close enough to just grab it. Duh!

This was more personal. I was about 21 and my car was totalled by a semi. Lawsuit, out of work because of back injury, filed for unemployment. Received a rejection letter from the unemployment office saying I had filed an invalid claim. I accepted that they wouldn't pay me because I was temporarily an invalid. Decades later I realized the letter was saying my claim was not valid. If only they had written my claim had incorrect information!

This happened in 1992, and I only grokked it this week as I recalled it in 2021 while remembering what it was like before everyone had cell phones. I was alone working the night desk at Kinkos, and the local news anchor came in to pick up her copies. She was taking business nonstop on her mobile, which was weird in 1992, but in the chatter she included “I’m here at Kinkos with sofacushionfort.” Almost 30 years later I realize she said this because we were alone together, and it was a security measure.
