THURSDAY THIRTEEN #6 . . . 13 OF LIFE'S MOST SHOCKING MOMENTS . . .
1) When you realize "C" students really do rule the world.
3) When you accidently see your grandmama topless.
4) When you realize you and everyone you love will one day die.
5) When you discover liars and cheaters can and often do win.
6) When you realize evil is real and often lives a long time in the world.
7) When you discover life isn't really fair.
8) When it dawns on you that your parents do "it" or if they're older have the nerve to still be doing "it."
9) When you discover, not only do you not know most of the answers, you don't even know half of the questions.
10) When you realize a lot of people mistakenly believe they can actually sing or rap or dance or act or properly raise a kid or lead you to the promised land or ( ______ ) fill in the blank.
11) When you realize the life you dreamt in your youth, will most likely never happen.
12) When it dawns on you that this baby really does have to come out of you some kind of way.
13) When you discover that the words "one nation, under God, indivisible and with liberty and justice for all" are more of a wishful thought than an actual reality.
Any others you want to add? Be my guest. Just remember, this isn't HBO or Cinemax or any of those late night, boot-leg cable tv programs . . . so please, try to keep your "shocking moment" comments PG13 (smile).

I walked in to a room when my grandparents were "going at it!" Talk about shock! I'm still going to therapy! (haha, just kidding about the last part).
That's an exceptionally astute list. For some of those, it's been a long time for me...and I never did see either grandmother topless (or if I did, I don't remember). But it's for certain that these are the things that bring you up short....
One word for #3... zoinks! It's amazing how much #10 mirrors the life/career of Britney Spears.
I can't imagine for the #3! It would definitely be shocking! lol
Mines up here;
Thursday Thirteen
Happy TT!

When you see your spouse lying flat on her back in ICU. And then you realize that you've spent the better part of a decade saying "ya we really should make out a will".
I'm with you on soo many things, 1,2,5,6 and so on....
Happy TT, I'm glad I visited you!!!
My TT is up!
Is anyone really surprized by #2?
#3 never happened to me, I'm glad to say!
What a great list...weird, my bf and I were just talking about #4 and how old we were when we came to that realization. #5 too...man, I hate liars and its so true. Happy TT, thanks for making me think.
re: #11, I'm coming to that realization now...and it ain't pretty
I really agree with #12..sometimes I look @ my daughter & think.."WOW..!!"
these are great ...and so true !I can relate I did life's amazing moments.
Great TT!!
my 13 is up on Working at Home Mom
I wasn't shocked when I saw my Grandma topless, lol !
But your n° 13 is very true !
That is a great list. I don't think I could add to it on the fly. I will probably be thinking about it all day though. Happy TT.
When you realize that you are exactly where your past decisions have led you.
My Thursday Thirteen #51 The old Hollywood Squares Q&A Edition is up. Stop by if you get a chance.
Really enjoyed your list! Some of it was funny, some thought-provoking..the rest, both! Mine is finally up...please feel free to stop by and visit. Have agreat weekend!
Great list! And, so true. As a historian, it saddens me to think that all those people I love to read about are dead already.
Happy TT!
Another great TT, my friend.
My addition would be something like this:
When you realize that sex is a) everything you dreamed it would be and more, or b)nothing like you thought it would be; actually worse--what was everybody raving about?
I'll never tell which I thought upon first try! LOL
Happy TT!
Great TT. Some so sadly true others so hilarious.
When I was in college, my mother sent me a postcard that said "the sex in Kentucky was great!". I still have issues going to get the mail.
What a thought provoking list! I love it!
