    When I was in 3rd grade or so, we had a project where we were supposed to pick 5 adjectives to describe ourselves and a line or two to explain it. At the time I was super into protect the animals/planet. So unfortunately, aiming for ‘conservationist’, I hit ‘conservative’ and the reasoning blurb was something like ‘it is important to make sure the planet stays habitable’. I still cringe thinking about how anyone who saw it (they were hung up in the hallway) must have thought I was some Hitler youth freak or something.

    To my knowledge, this was the last time I was mistaken for being ‘conservative’, and I intend to keep it that way.

      lol I did something very similar in school when I wanted to say how much I loved astronomy, but wrote astrology instead, not understanding the difference. My teacher thought I was really into tarot cards when I wanted to be an astronaut
