Blow job is just a phrase. I would have thought somebody would have mentioned it during girl talks. Talk about embarrassing!

I actually lost knowledge when I became an adult. At 17, I pretty much knew everything. Now I am not sure of anything.

That most people are fucking assholes all the time and all people are sometimes, including me ofcourse.

It took me until adulthood to know that there was anything but Christianity as an option.

That Jesus isn't real, god is fake, and the Bible is Jewish mythology.

Many (most?) men like (their own) children and enjoy being fathers. I had to date men to find that out.

Having small boobs is, by and large, a negligible impediment to physical attractiveness.

People generally do not like to admit they do not know something and some will go to any length to avoid it.

You don't have to do anything at all for someone to hate you. Sometimes just being visible is enough.

That fresh green beans were a thing.

As a child and youth, I was largely a conformist to the expectations others had of me. Virutally all of my intellectual, moral, philosophical growth, my growth in productivity, and my self-definition occurred as an adult.

To trust, but VERIFY

It took me until my 30’s to find the balance between living in the moment (which I had done with fervor until then ) and planning for tomorrow.

I learned to pick my friends,evaluate comments before making a decision,spot illegal doing's, watch my money and be cautious of my health. Oh yes disavow churches.

There's a whole lot of shit I can't and shouldn't try to control.

This is going to sound horribly naive. I just assumed when young that with age comes wisdom and altruism(altho I didn't have a word for the latter then). That all old people are nice and care about others. LOL@self
I was wrong.

How niaive I was /am.

My parents are only human

I learned very early on that I could make any male do anything I wanted, just by paying real good attention and sparkling at them. As an adult, I realized that I really did not want that ability, so I dimmed the sparkle and became sarcastic.

That my parents had elastic conscience's.
I also learned that you are allowed to take time for yourself guilt free. Work isn't the be all and end all.

When I was very young I came to the conclusion that the church and it's foundation (religion) was too stupid to be real because adults were telling us stories that were clearly not based on reality. I therefore concluded religious claims were not real and nothing more then a stupid mind game adults use to control children. It wasn't until I was in my twenties that I realized that some (many) adults actually believed in the fantasy the church preaches. That was a cold and bitter realization that changed what until then had been a very optimistic outlook for the future of humanity.

I think I have the exact opposite to you. I always was co-operative, lived in communes worked in worker co-operatives I am only in the last 25 years becoming my own individualised person and feeling Ok about it .

I learned that many people are full of shit.

The main thing I learned as an adult is that adults aren't as smart as I thought they were as a kid. Most of the time it seems like we're just making things up as we go along. We don't really know what we're doing for the most part.

As a Television serviceman, it was not until well into my craft that I learned that pure water was an insulator. it is only the salts and contaminants from the earth which render water as a conductor of electricity. Rain water is pure, it must be or all the transmission lines across the country would have their insulators short circuited whenever it rained.

How to cook/bake. We ate out 3 times a week It was a boyfriend who lived off campus who taught me to cook.

My stepfather is and was a bigot and I could not stand his predjuice (Archie Bunker type) I left home at 16 found some incredible people in the world despite the bad lessons in my child hood home, I could never judge someone for their differences.

I don't play well with others. So I still haven't learned that.

The one thing I will admit I learned, is that there are way more stupid people than I originally thought. Oh wait, That's not PC I guess. There are way more knowledge challenged individuals out there than I originally thought.
