You are right. I found this a hoot.
...Jesus' first disciple was his mother,
Rather stretching the truth. Mary (and Jesus' half brothers and sisters) thought Jesus was crazy.
Luke 8:19-21 And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd. And it was reported to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You.” But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
That doesn't means Mary didn't remember the miracles surrounding the birth. It only means that, like the disciples on many occasions, Mary wasn't able to process the events. She treasured up these things in her heart but she didn't understand how they all fit together.
All it is, is justification for idolatry.
