- I have a hard time doing basic math sometimes.
- I don’t do precise measurements. I eyeball everything instead.
- The thought of going into space gives me nightmares.
- I’d insist their shuttles and satellites “look pretty” instead of be functional.
- I’ve never worked with Linux before. Plus, command line stuff scares me.
- I can code, to a degree, but I’m not a technical person.
- In high school it was a struggle to maintain a B in my science classes. Don’t ask me about my high school Geometry grade…
- I’m too much of a smart ass. (“Shit, the rocket blew up.” “WHAT?” “PSYCHE!”).
- I’d never make it past the physical endurance training and tests. I’m too much of a sloth.
- I like stuff blowing up too much.

- Frizzy hair due to a lifetime spent dying, curling, and otherwise damaging their hair.

- Spandex.
- Surrounded by some sort of groupies (cats or management staff) who are there as their “yes men”.

Though they might deny it. Here are only a few of the whoppers I believed when I was younger:
- Smokey (the cat) would walk down to the grocery store, take off his fur, and smoke crack.
- Before I was born, Noah put on his super-man cape and tried “flying” and fell into the bushes. It was claimed our parents couldn’t find him for three days.
- The family that was walking towards our hotel room in Vermont was going to steal said hotel room thus I had to hide under the bed.
- The parents found (name of sibling here) in a dumpster.
- Mom ran away and joined the circus to escape me.
- The raccoon on the roof was going to break through the glass window and murder me if I fell asleep.
- Freddy Krueger was going to get me when I sleep.
- That I wouldn’t get in trouble when Adam positioned me in front of Noah’s room with my middle finger raised.
- No Doubt wrote “Just a Girl” about Noah.
