I don't always know my right from my left. Like I obviously know which way is which, but if there are shoes in front of me it takes me a second to figure it out. I was a good 10 before I stopped wearing my shoes on the wrong feet.
And now my daughter seems to be equally confused, but she's 4, so she gets a pass. The other day, we were almost late, because I couldn't tell if she had her shoes on the right feet.
In my defense, they are shlumpy boots and they kinda looked the same.

WTF were you heifers calling the yellow flowers? This is the part that's blowing my mind about the whole thing. I could see if you didn't know that the blowie things were also dandelions but wtf did you think the yellow things were? My gosh. Weeds.

@frank’s and goldenbird’s dandelion confession ranks up there with the day that half the board learned that narwhals are real. 😂 My baby has a narwhal onesie on today. Seems relevant.

But.. when the blowy part blows off, there are no petals left? How would it go from blowy to yellow?? Obviously those ones never became yellow. They just died and wilted away into nothing. SaveSave

This reminds me of the day you guys taught me that blood isn’t really blue until it leaves your body or some nonsense I had been told as a child and never questioned.

I feel like in my heart of hearts, I knew they were both called dandelions. Maybe. I really never thought about it. But I didn’t know they evolved from flower to fuzzy thing. I own it. No shame. I just don’t think about shitty flowers much.

Do you guys also know that if you cross your eyes, your face won't actually get stuck like that, right?
Just checking.

I actually really like dandelions. You can make pretty wreaths out of them. Sad they are considered weeds. Eta: I sound like a 4-year-old. I’ll own it. We spent so much time making flower crowns out of the flowering weeds on the summers. That was probably my number 2 hobby through the elementary years.

When I was learning to drive I could not, for the life of me, figure out which way to push the blinker lever to go right or left. I would get it wrong so freaking often (I would fix it before I turned, I wasn't a menace). Finally I got that pressing it down was like pressing it left and life was good. I cannot explain why this was so difficult for me, but I feel you. But you don’t even have to know left from right for this. You just push the blinker the way you’re going to turn the wheel.

I have no idea what those purple flower weeds are called but I actually think they are pretty and get sad when we have to mow them.

My terrible sense of direction is actually one of the reasons I'm terrified to drive. I just get turned around too easily.

Nonniedee Left & Right is just something that has never clicked in my head. The other day MIL said "Oh, DD, your shoes are on the wrong feet!" I was like, "Oh. Haha. She put them on herself." She didn't. At daycare pick up earlier this week, I was struggling to put M's shoes on and DCP very quietly says, "That's the wrong foot."
