My teenage stepdaughter from my former marriage was convinced bill nye went to prison for making meth and that a food called CHICKEN nuggets was made from cow eyes. She could not be convinced Hamilton wasn’t a president despite both her history books and the musical she loved so much proving otherwise. We once got into a debate on whether or not it was “hard knock life” or “hard not life,” which didn’t end when I showed her a YouTube video from Annie complete with subtitles and brought up the lyrics on google. She wasn’t allowed to eat in her bedroom, so she stuffed the candy wrappers behind her bed INTO the floor heating vents, which is not the only time she almost set our place on fire.
I would like to respectfully challenge the last sentence of your comment. I realize my evidence is anecdotal, but there’s plenty more and her friends probably considered her the genius of the group.
bro the chicken nuggets made from cow eyes is so hillarious to me because the only way i can imagine she would believe that is if someone once sarcastically told her they were made of cow eyes as a joke when she asked what they were and she didn’t catch the sarcasm
She instantly believes anything she sees on tik tok. It’s responsible for half the things I listed above. She was at that age where she’s convinced she knows something about the world that the “old people” don’t. I hope she grew out of it, but after the divorce I got an absolutely unhinged voicemail from her and decided to never contact her again. Found out through my ex that she ended up moving back in with her addict of a dad when I called to see if she was ok after listening to it.
It made me sad, but I’m not her parent. I tried to be, but she made that abundantly clear when she became a teen and I tried to respect that decision.
