“I didn’t know until I was 40 years old that the sun and the moon were not the same thing,” Chelsea, 47, admitted. “My older sister Simone looked up at the sky and she said, ‘Chelsea, Chelsea, look up. 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.”
Chelsea also spoke out about serious topics like having children in a recent appearance Today To promote her Netflix special, Revolution.
“It’s important to know when you don’t have the skills to raise a baby. You know, instead of shaming people we should say, ‘Oh good, good for you for knowing that you shouldn’t have a baby!'”
“As a woman, I’m so sick — and have been so sick — of being asked that question repeatedly when I’ve made my views so clear to people.”
Last year, she hosted her iHeartRadio podcast. Dear ChelseaShe explained what would happen “if” she became a parent. “If I had my own, I would be all about them,” she said.
“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 sloppy 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.”
Chelsea needs to come to my next family gathering. The “when are your kids having children” questions are exhausting.
