    This post is soooo funny. My son grew up when the TV show The Planet of the Apes was around. When he was little I used to ask him what he wanted to be when he grew up and he would always say, I don't know. One day he came and told me he decided he wanted to be a fireman. When I asked him why he said.....wait for it...because it takes too long to be a gorilla! I still can picture him thinking how long it would take him to grow all that hair.

    I thought pimentos were a natural part of a green olive...

    Me, too!

    I also, thanks to my stepmom and her love of Dr. Seuss, was convinced that roast beef and roast beast were two entirely different things until I was about 8 or 9.

    I used to love the rock group "The Black Crowes" (hope I spelled it right), and I would blast thru the house one of my favorites "So Hard to Handle".
    There was a little breakdown segment in the song that said in a quick and syncopated manner - 'pretty lil thang, let me light your candle cause mama I'm so hard to handle' , BUT I would dance thru the house singing: 'pretty lil thang, lemon lime chicana :huh: cause mama I'm so hard to handle.
    I was convinced that this guy's drink of choice was margaritas while flirting with a spanish speaking woman...I went and got my ears checked soon after I was corrected by my sister...still haven't lived it down, but they rocked!!!

    I once overheard my roommate (on her cell phone) tell someone that they'd better watch out, or they would "reap the percussions" (aka. repercussions) of their actions. I stopped her, asking "Do you realize you just told someone they would harvest drum sets?"


    omg i just snorted! thats freaking hilarious

    i have a few things. when i was little i use to think factories that had smoke stacks with steam coming out of them were cloud makers.

    also use to think helicopters couldn't fly over water because it wouldn't have enough lift due to the water shifting.

    there was another big one like this but i cant remember it at this time.

    Montell Jordan -- This Is How We Do It. There's a line that says "the party's underway!" I always thought he was telling us to wear our "party underwear". Haha why not? Still fun either way :laugh:

    The Beatles song "My Lord" - I always thought they were saying "My Laura" and I was volunteering with a lady who's name was Laura and it came on and I said "Laura, it's your song!" and she just stared at me and said "Why would this song be about me? You know they're saying LORD right?!"

    I thought Keyless Entry (you know, those clickers for your cars?) were called Key of the Century. Yeah, I was an adult. I asked my dad where his key of the century was.


    I have a friend who called her dad because the battery had died in her remote door lock and she couldn't get in . He had to explain how to get in using THE KEY .

    There was a Mr. Mister song in the 80's with the line "Kyrie, eleison down the road that I must travel". My best friend and I were riding around singing to the radio when I heard her sing "Carry me I'm lazy down the road that I must travel". I still tease her about it to this day.

    And one on myself. My grandfather worked for a Ready Mix Concrete Company. I remember him talking about the trucks getting stuck in the mud and having to call a "record" to pull them out. I thought someone put record players by the truck tires and it would get them out of the mud. I was probably 12 before I realized he said "Wreckers" and made the connection.

    I always heard "dirty deeds and the Dunder Chief" instead of "done dirt cheap". Even now that I know the right lyrics, I still sing Dunder Chief, because it's more fun.
    Lol me too

    a family tradition is making homemade caramels at christmas. my boys called them 'carmolds' and were so disappointed when no one wanted any car mold.

    my husband thought the h.o.v. lane stood for 'high OXYGEN vehicle', not occupancy. his parents corrected him just this summer.

    i am notorious for misunderstanding lyrics. it has become a family joke.

    Tea Bagging....
    When I was a pre-teen, tea-bagging was a caffeine rush derived by sucking on tea-bags, and then jumping around with a slight high. Fast forward 30 years.

    I saw some tea-bags dumped in the trash, and my son, aged 15, had a sleep-over with several of his friends. My wife had dumped those tea-bags, but I didn't know that. I jokingly said "I see you guys were tea-bagging - eh?"

    They all looked at me wide-eyed, embarrassed. I continued...
    "Oh come on! I used to do that with my friends years ago" - and so the conversation went.
    I left it at a that, and it was not until later that night at a party that somebody advised me of my mistake.

    I WAS APPALLED!

    omg that made me laugh way to much lol

    You know the song Drift away? I thought it was "Give me the Beach Boys to free my soul. I want to get lost in your rock and roll." Uh, its not Beach Boys, but beat, boys.

    Ok I have no idea what this means and I am not about to google it or ask my child. I guess I'll just be in the dark.
    Allow me.

    Per Wikipedia:
    To tea bag is a slang term for the act of a man placing his *kitten* in the mouth of a sexual partner or onto the face or head of another person. The practice resembles dipping a tea bag into a cup of tea when it is done in a repeated in-and-out motion. As a form of non-penetrative sex, it can be done for its own enjoyment or as foreplay.
