TOPIC- Something nobody knows about me

We are all strangers more or less here, so there are something that no body else knows about me. 
I love learning little titbits of information about people and myself- that no one else knows. I did not learn to tie my shoe lace until I was 8 year old!

My family tried many times from when I was very small and I just could not get it.I always wore slip on shoes which was very common.It was very embarrassing because my elder sister learned at a very early age. They even tried to teach me with no luck. I finally confessed to my maternal grandfather around thanks giving time when he asked me what I wanted for Christmas.
I told him all I wanted was to learn how to tie my shoes so I could wear shoes with laces! He sat there with me and showed and explained me how to do it.
I know it sounds imbecile but nobody actually explained me, they just showed me.
even today when I lace up and tie my shoes, I remember what he actually taught me.

I thank up the internet anonymity! Up until a shameful late age, I always taught the sun and moon were the same thing. I thought that the sun was the moon when it's fire had gone out at night.Too silly right! I still don't remember whether my early teachers told me about this or not but I totally misunderstood the concept of sun and moon. 

Even now, you can see a laughter on my face when I get to remember my foolishness when I was young. I didn't share these things with anyone just thinking that they would laugh at me. Actually,it was shame on my part that I don't know these simple things which all of my other friends could know them earlier then me. But now, a famous quote ignited my mind saying "Be who you are and don't think about what others would think about you."
Hope  you too enjoyed knowing my younger age foolishness.
