Me (13 years old at the time): Dad, Mom’s cheating on you. I saw her making out with this man.
Dad: Listen here, princess. The guy’s filthy rich, and when you have money, it’s normal to have a hot mistress like your mom.
Me: But aren’t you jealous?
Dad: laughs
I was flabbergasted, lmao.
The Aunt that never finished elementary school once told me:
“I don’t believe in evolution, because I didn’t believe a baby could be born smarter than its parents”
I was 10-13 years old at the time and just didn’t have the patience to deal with that level of stupid.
When I did my PhD, I was chatting with another PhD student there. I told him I went to a museum where they had a really cool lineup of all the early hominids, all the way back to Lucy.
And he said something like “why would you care about all those deformed humans?” So I went “no, I mean, the proto humans, before they evolved into homo sapiens”. I laughed and said “aren’t you too smart to believe in evolution?”
So yeah, you don’t have to be stupid to be an idiot.
