It'd probably be better if hot dogs were really made of dogs than the real stuff it's made of, heh  |

Some countries put pictures of what is in the can or jar on their products because so many of their population can't read. Gerber baby food doesn't sell well in those places.

A boy in my 3rd grade music class asked the teacher if we could sing that song about something with a cherry in it. Turns out he meant Swing Low Sweet Chariot. My fave misheard song lyric is Bakin Carrot Biscuits instead of Takin Care of Business

My little precious tried to save her first potty poop in the freezer for me!
Her dad didn't let her but he did write about it in her baby book.
I was very young during the Cuban Missile Crisis and would sleep underneath my bed, just to be safe. (To heck with the scary monster down there.)
I was sure all dark men with beards were that Castro guy coming to get my family and make us into Communists.

My son (several years ago, when he was about 4 years old) came into the living room where our new pastor & a couple Deacons were seated with me and loudly asked,"Hey Dad! When are we going to get some more of those sparkly girls?" Being more perplexed than mortified, I was able to have him go to his room and bring one of the "sparkly girls" to show us what he was talking about. Several nervous moments later, he arrived with one of those whirling sparklers from McDonald's that, once you pushed the end with your thub, would turn, whirr, sparkle, and then open up to reveal one of the cartoon Gargoyles characters. Laughs all around, eventually.
On a personal note, I always thought Chicago was singing about "centipeeds...make me feel fine, moving with the jazz notes in my mind..." All kinds of issues with that line.

when I was little, the Eagles had a song called 'Life in the Fast Lane'.
I thought the lyrics were 'life in the batplane'. and i thought how cool that would be.

FWIW it is Seals and crofts. Jim Seals' brother...England Dan(Seals) and John Ford Coley's lyrics were sometimes hard to figure out too...especially I'd really love to see you tonight. El G, my blood relatives are up north so, I don't guess we are blood related...maybe just on the same energy wave that day |

I remember another one from my childhood. When I was 5, I understood about silent letters in words, such as bomb and lamb. So, when they kept talking about "detour" on the radio, I saw the sign at the Highway 58 exit for "Decatur" and wanted to know why everyone on the radio wanted to go there.

That is creepy.
Or is it GMTA?
BTW, I thought the "round yon virgin" bit was talking about her shape, being preggo and all.

I heard a story that two young mothers who were talking and they thought a youngster was out of earshot. They were talking about death and dying and one said, "I wanna die in my sleep".
The other said, "I wanna be sexed to death".
The youngster piped in and said, "And I wanna be sevened to death!"
Out of the mouth of babes with good hearing...
