Just learned it’s NOT illegal to pick a California poppy. Turns out my elementary teacher just made up that fun fact about our state flower.

What other childhood lies are holding me back? Can I punch a Garibaldi now or what?

Your Parents would have had to buy that food and had a house without you.
The sky isnt blue cause its a reflection of the ocean.
Quick sand isnt really a problem for people even if you find some, u sink very slowly.

@budsofstone As someone involved with competitive swimming for a hot minute, the cramp thing is blowing my mind.

@lety yeah, as a florida child and ex lifeguard it was crazy to find out.
