I’m not sure if this is worldwide or just in the UK…… There seems to be this thing where people acknowledge something that they have just found out by saying “ I was today years old ……” ( examples ….. I was today years old when I found out ice cream is made from milk I was today years old when I realised cows say moo * * you get the idea …..) For goodness sake ….GROW UP ! What is wrong with saying ….” I found out today that ……” It really bugs me ! What do you think …..?

Yeah, I’ve heard that but I don’t believe I’ve ever said it.

Thankfully, I haven't heard people say that much, maybe on the radio where people do admit to the stupidest things.

Sounds stupid to me. That hasn't reached our shores yet, not that I know of anyway.
