ok so that post office scam thread was hilarious, and i think it deserves its own thread.

until like 4th grade, i thought it was bading suit, not bathing suit.
and until like 2 years ago, i thought mild meant medium

anyone else got their stories?

once i slept with a super soaker and a bunch of little water guns on my bed, i was determined to catch the tooth fairy. Of course my water guns leaked and i woke up in a puddle and my tooth was gone.

I used to think the "sen" in "sensei" meant one thousand.

similarly, I used to think the word "seifuku" had "sei" in it because of the english word sailor, and I thought it was written with the character that means "to be born"...
haha....

i thought that it was spelled lense, not lens until 10th grade, i thought (if you've heard of the outer banks) it was Kay Patteras, not Cape Hatteras, and i thought snapping was your fingers rubbing together, but it's you finger hitting the base of your thumb.

i used to say pumpkin; punkin.

i used to think mashed potatoes were gross until my dad told me they were mashed french fries.

when i was in elemantary school i thought i was really hairy and weird for having pubes in 4th grade.

i used to think you could only catch an STD from a hooker, then i went to CU Boulder.

when i was a kid i thought boobs were awesome. now, i'm an ass man.
