for years my mom talked about doctor spock's lessons on parenting she used to raise us and because i never watched star trek i just assumed that show doubled as educational material for parents when in fact spock she was referring to was a pediatrician and a writer and not the beloved character from the sci fi classic

#i thought spock just went around dropping random words of wisdom on child rearing #which in retrospect seems like an absolutely bonkers concept #in my defense you people always talk about bizarre shit that happens there idk i guess i just accepted it as something normal for the show #i only learned that wasn't the case a couple years ago when i watched one of those new star trek movies #and i asked my mom something about the show and she said how should i know and i was like ???doctor spock? star trek??#and she said what the hell is star trek doctor spock is an author of a book on parenting #so yeah exposing myself as a 🤡
