    i thought unicorns where real and reindeer were mythical creatures.

    i also was convinced dinosaurs would come back to life at any moment as a young child, and would check the house on the regular basis to make sure there were none hiding in the closet, shower, ect.

    i was a weird kid though. 9-9 so this doesn't really surprise or embarrass me.

    The agency I work for hired an Ombudsman a few years ago. I disagreed with a lot of his decisions, so for months I was complaining to my husband about "The Ombudsman."

    About 6 months later I saw this guy at the mall and pointed him out to my husband. My husband replied "That's Leon?" I'm like "who is Leon??? what are you talking about.???" Turn out this whole time he thought I was complaining about a person named Leon Budsman.

    We were at my sister's 21st birthday party, and everyone had a good buzz on. The song "Humpty Hump" comes on, and on the dancefloor, my mom starts hopping like a bunny... My sister and I asked her what on earth she was doing, and she told us she was doing the "Hoppity Hop", like the song! I laughed so hard I spit out my beer!

    I used to work at a daycare in the 90s when the Backstreet boys were extremely popular.
    One day I walked into another classroom and there were a group of 5 year old girls dancing and singing...

    "You're the one for me, you're my extra C"....

    One of the teachers started to correct them. I told her leave it, no point in trying to explain "ecstasy" to 5 year olds if you want to keep your job.

    to this day, I can't hear that song without singing - you're my extra c.

    I have so many. My husband always makes fun of me.

    When I was a kid, growing up in Florida, I somehow confused flamingos and penguins, and would tell people about all the penguins we had in Florida when visiting family up north.

    The song- too late to apologize always sounds like , "it's too late to call the judge."
    I'm serious. Listen to it.

    My boss is my favorite person though. She is a little Jewish woman who says the darnedest things. I had to hold my breath the day when she opened the oven (we work at a bakery), which had bread in it, and she yells, "Mmmm... I'm getting quite the facial here!" I am very certain customers could her. She always says dirty things without knowing it.

    Just thought of something else from my childhood. Mind you my mom was a single mother and we watched chick flicks together. It wasn't until I got the question wrong on the geography quiz that I learned that Seattle is not the city the never sleeps. Thanks Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan!

    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!


    thanks for the laugh.......omg funniest one I read yet!!

    When I was a kid, I always thought that the lyrics "secret agent man" was "secret asian man". I always imagined some really handsome asian man in a suit doing spy stuff. I was a strange child.
    That's what I thought it was, too. Couldn't understand how he kept it a secret that he was Asian.

    rofl!!

    I also have a problem with name associations. If they sound similar, they get mixed up easily. If I watched two movies recently, I can mix up which ones are who. Terribly fun form of dyslexia. My husband and I were at the bar grabbing a drink before dinner at the parents. Mind you, I hadn't even finished my first beer. We were talking about Cuba and the conversation went something like this.

    Him: Besides, if they really hated living in Cuba they could just swim over.
    Me: (deadpan stare) Yeah, that worked out real great for Emilio Estevez
    --silence and staring--
    Him: I don't think he's Cuban, but he was great in the Mighty Ducks
    Me: :uncontrollable laughter:
    Him: You were thinking of that little boy in Florida, weren't you
    Me: Shut up! Yes! Elian Gonzalez!


    Also at a party recently, some friends and I were talking about changing our names and I blurted out, I would like to be named, Orangejello, spelled like Lemon Jello. And everyone just stared awkwardly at me. It was pretty fantastic.

    So that Usher song "Yeah" has ALWAYS made me wonder. I have always heard it says "like a sole condom, I had you coming" But instead the lyrics are: I got so caught up, I forgot she told me" Sigh.

    This wasn't me, but rather an ex-boyfriend....Years ago, he was reading an article in the newspaper, which had described a serial killer's acts as "grisly murders." My boyfriend looked totally dumbfounded and asked me "Why would somebody go around killing bears?" Oh dear.
