Not what you thought it was............

Here's a classic for you, being from the south of course my parents listened to a lot of old country. The George Jones hit, "He Stopped Loving Her Today", until I was in my late twenties and heard somebody singing it live I thought the words were: 'they placed a wreath upon the water' instead of 'they placed a wreath upon the door'. (It must have been the Possum's twang). I just always assumed the guy stopped loving her because he was lost at sea and they put the wreath upon the water... Geesh! :-)

***Also, once at a restaurant one of my best girlfriends ordered the chips and kwayso (queso), I was floored, now we all say kwayso and kwaysedillo (quesadillo). This is also the friend that though Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' said: 'Billie Jean is at my door' instead of 'Billie Jean is not my lover'... :-)

Friend Dad's Thought, "Gotta move my jacket" Moves like Jagger" lol

I know someone who thought Pontius Pilate was called Ponchus Pirate, and was actually a pirate...

Until about 6 months ago, I thought 1080p TVS were 10ADP.

I used to think Mick Jagger's name was just one name (like Madonna or something) and it was McJagger... my best friend has never let me live that down.

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 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.

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?!"

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.

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.
