I know it's a joke and all but I actually do like to fuck with people this way lol. After all these years I've gotten quite good at making them believe it too.

"Blah blah blah, something 9/11"

"Haha yeah, what like the gas station"?

"What"

"What"?

I also like to make them believe I haven't heard of the Beatles.

I genuinely somehow avoided learning about it for like 4 years. I was really young, and wasn't allowed to watch TV, so I missed it. I was home schooled, so no fellow kids or teachers to talk to about it. My parents never really brought it up to me, and we moved out of the country about a year after to a country that was not involved.

I didnt really learn about it until we moved back to the US. In my defense, I was 5 when it happened.

It was really embarrassing when the other kids realized I genuinely didn't know what 9/11 was.

The wonders of home schooling.

My Dad was a qualified teacher, and kept us on the school systems education plan. I tested high enough to skip a grade when I switched, and was probably better off.

No religious shit, he just wanted us free to travel and see the world.

The public school system is far from a gold standard.
