There have been numerous times in my life when I have made assumptions or reached conclusions that are both faulty and humorously naive. See below for one such occasion that happened this week, and another that should be shared, just for good measure ---
Faulty assumption 1:
Approximate date: Junior year of high school
I purchased a shirt from Urban Outfitters that had the words "Gettin' Lucky in Kentucky" printed largely across the front, wrongly assuming that "Gettin' Lucky" referred to winning a few hands of poker.
Naively (and rather boldly), I wore a shirt with a sexual innuendo to school, church, the grocery store, not understanding why anyone might have a problem with it. I just thought the kelly green, stretchy tee looked cute with my blue jeans. I think it was a year later that my sister clued me in and I trashed the shirt.
Faulty assumption 2:
Approximate date: April 1-2, 2012
Upon hearing on the radio that there was traffic caused by "sun-spots," I excitedly told my fellow classmates about this new phenomenon where people were SO EXCITED by the sunshine that they slowed down so as to drive more slowly through these sections of road, basking in the warmth and beauty. A day later, I discovered that sunny spots actually cause traffic because people are forced to squint against the sun, causing them to drive more cautiously. BAH. My explanation was better.
