Would you like to share a moment when you were a little slow on the uptake?

When my boys were younger, one of their favorite books was Caps for Sale. I have read this book literally hundreds of times. It wasn’t until the boys had grown out of hearing the book constantly (they can all read it on their own now), that I realized that the monkeys were copying the peddler! Seriously, through all those readings I never made the connection. Another example, this evening as I was going through the 92 questions for me, I realized that I don’t have to remove them one at a time. I figured out that if I read through all the question titles, I can click “remove all” at the end and save all kinds of clicking time. I have been a Fluther regular for quite some time now and I just figured this out. I felt like a bit of a goof for taking so long. Have you ever had similar experiences?
