“I talk about this story...this is true. I didn’t know until I was 40 years old that the sun and the moon were not the same thing,” Chelsea Handler, 47, actually

no she didn't. dare i say, oh no she didn't. she's dumb but cmon

I listen to her podcast, and she makes fun of her younger self a lot, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is true. She tells a story about how she masturbated all of the time in the living room as a 9 year old and her family wouldn't say anything, and now she's mortified they never told her to stop humping the couches.

edit: and by younger self, I mean the first 46 years of her life

At 9 years old? Yikes. My social worker friends would have opinions on that.

really? i thought that was pretty normal lol

[skyler_white_yo]

Maybe I’m not the normal one. I had what I thought was a normal curiosity about my body at that age, but I wasn’t humping the couch all the time.

[inkstainedlips]

I don't... No I reject this. No.

[skyler_white_yo]

I’m having a hard time believing this. I know her brand is to be ditzy, but come on now.

[bullybreed]

It’s absolutely not true. I dare say it would be near impossible for anyone older than a child to think this simply by how inescapable the sun and moon are in all of human culture. Unless Chelsy just broke free of Plato’s cave, she just thinks it’s a funny anecdote for some reason

My mother thought bunnies came out of eggs well into her late 40s.

We were at a restaurant with paper placemats and the food was taking forever to come out. This was pre-smartphone so I was bored AF and she was paying so I didn't even have my bag (which would have had a pen) with me. I asked her for a pen and started doodling. I ran out of ideas and asked her what to draw. She said "draw a bunny coming out of an egg."

I was like "ma, bunnies don't come out of eggs." She kept saying they did, and she was like "yeah, but the Easter bunny lays them, no?" I was like "....wut?" I mean, maybe her fundamental misunderstanding of the Easter bunny comes from the fact we're Jewish, but that doesn't explain her fundamental misunderstanding of ACTUAL bunnies.

[weighty_ghost]

she also believed the easter bunny was real into her late 40s?

[wowthatisminty]

No, she knew the easter bunny wasn't real, she just believed his origin story involved him COMING FROM said eggs and that real bunnies did too

it makes more sense than a rogue chickenrobbing bandit. sir where did you get all those from
