Me when I was little: “mom, why are those guys holding hands?”

Mom: “well you know how you like girls? Some boys like boys. Some girls like girls.”

Me: “oh, cool. Mom, why are the street signs here blue but green in the other town?”

I bring up this exchange whenever people say stuff like “but what will the kids think? It will break their brains!”

Now, my mom teaching that to me DID cause some damage, because she forgot to add: “but you go to catholic school, so don’t repeat that or else you’ll get in trouble AND the other kids will bully you and the teachers won’t stop them”. Thankssss mom.

In Europe, green signs declare an Autobahn/Highway. (Or that the Autobahn leads to this destination, if there is a place on the signs)

I find the Idea of a town where everything is just an Autovahn very amusing.
