Not even a famous person. In frouth grade there was a girl in my class I wanted to be friends with. I thought she was perfect. When I went to her house she leaned over the kitchen sink and drank straight out of the faucet. I was shocked that she would do such an oridinary thing.

This probably doesn't make sense but it's an example of how people are oridnary in spite of our expectiations.

It absolutely makes sense! (And is so cute, too!) It's really all about the expectations and bringing them back to reality. It's like my friend and the author who had to feed his cat. "Wait, you mean you do normal things???!"

I think that's the real truth of humanity, honestly. We're all ordinary underneath, even if it doesn't look that way from the outside.
