  I definitely always assumed that they were brothers

  Yeah I just assumed they were brothers.  Like, this.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  This is a brother moment.

  ^{i will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch}
  

  i thought they were just really close friends

  
  

  the couple interpretation is cute, though

  My dreams exceed my real life

  I assumed brothers because of how passively annoyed Bert tended to be with Ernie

  i have gotten plenty passively annoyed with flatmates before

  
  

  though with retrospect yes them being brothers would make sense

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  Brothers makes a lot of sense, but man, it's ambiguous.
  
  Also I definitely thought they were a couple before I even understood what romance was really, and I scarcely watched Sesame Street.

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  I remember being really confused as a child when I realized that the love songs I heard on the radio were always either a man singing to a woman or a woman singing to a man. Where were the men who loved men? Where were the women who loved women?

  I don't even know that I had a concept of "romance" at that point in my childhood, but I understood that love was meant to be universal.

  i was always bothered by the number of songs there were about love, to the point where i grew to hate them

  Touch the cow. Do it now.
  

  I didn't know homosexuality existed until I was, like, maybe 12 or so

  ...And even when your hope is gone

  move along, move along, just to make it through

  (2015 self)

  They were always brothers to me.  I mean, siblings sleep in the same room, and, when they're very young, in the same bed.

  
  

  I didn't know what "roomates" were until I was, like, ten.  I just assumed that people lived in houses, and that people live with their families.

  
  

  I watched a lot of Sesame Street as a kid, and the idea of them being anything but brothers never crossed my mind.
