Once I was on a bus and I noticed a woman across from me had a deep gash on her hand

And I’m freaked out because it’s so deep I can see freaking BONE but I’m confused because there doesn’t seem to be blood

Then it hit me. It was a prosthetic hand. She had a gash in the fake skin of her prosthetic hand

And then I felt very stupid for the rest of the day

The other time I felt this stupid was when I was sat in gym listening to two girls talk and became horrified as o realised I couldn’t understand anything they said

And I was internally freaking out over the fact I had lost the ability to understand English when my friend sat down next to me and said “hey”

Me: I CAN UNDERSTAND YOU!

Friend: …yeah?

Me: why can’t I understand them?

Friend: …they’re exchange students from the Netherlands. They’re speaking Dutch

Me: *still feels stupid about this almost 20 years later*
