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 see the sun and the moon at the same time.”

Chelsea replied: “But they’re always together,” before embarrassingly elaborating that she “just assumed when the sun went down, it came 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 extremely admirable.

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

“I think a lot of people just think, ‘Oh, I have to do this. This is the next step,'” she explained. “And it’s very annoying, because it’s not what you’re supposed to be doing.”

“I look at it this way — because I don’t have my own kids, I’m able to send strangers to college. I am able to support children I will never meet, in places I will never visit. But I am able to give a lot because I don’t have my family and for me this is my goal. I would be a bad mother. I would be selfish. I would like everything to be wonderful for my child and forget about all the other children in the world.”

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