i was so confused when i visited a friend in kentucky and they were talking about the lightning bugs and how pretty they are.

they were dumbfounded when i had never heard of them; they talked for the rest of the day about how much awe i would he in once i saw them.

… they were fireflies. i had to pretend like it was the most amazing thing i had ever seen because i told them i hadnt even heard of them before.
