Chelsea Handler Confessed She Didn’t Know The Sun And The Moon Were The Same Until She Was 40 And She Was So Serious

Chelsea Handler is not joking around when she says she’s “not equipped” to handle children.

While appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Chelsea confessed how she always thought the sun and the moon were the same.

It’s not often you get to see the sun and the moon at the same time.'”

Chelsea responded, “But they’re always together,” before embarrassingly elaborating that she “just assumed when the sun went down, it popped back up as the moon.”

In other news, Chelsea also discussed serious topics, like having children, during an appearance on Today to promote her new Netflix special, Revolution.

Her take is delightfully admirable.

“(There are) some overtures to women and men out there, and anyone who doesn’t identify as either, that you are not defined by the children that you bring into the world (and) that you’re not defined by your relationships or being married,” she added.

“I think that a lot of people just think, ‘Oh, I have to do that. That’s the next step’,” she clarified. “And it’s so annoying, because it’s not what you have to do.”

“I look at it like this — because I don’t have my own children, I’m able to send strangers to college. I’m able to support kids that I’ll never meet, in countries that I’ll never even visit. But I’m able to give so much because I don’t have my own family and to me, that is my purpose. I would be a shitty mother. I would be selfish. I would want everything to be great for my kid and forget about all the other kids in the world.”

I need to bring Chelsea to my next family gathering because the “when are you having kids” questions are absolutely exhausting.
