My little sister thought that white milk came from white cows, and chocolate milk came from brown cows. :D

When we were kids my Mom's many uncles owned a grocery store. One uncle was the cashier and he always had a cup of caramel colored beverage that we couldn't figure out. It was coffee but didn't look like what our parents drank!!! It had a lot of milk in it. Dumb kids :)

I thought women drank hot coffee and men and children drank hot tea...

That my cousin's husband's name was Thatdam Clark. I was a teenager before I realized his first name was Clark! You can figure out the rest. 🤣

I couldn't figure out why the Masoni Comb was so huge for a salon.

A daddy experience. I was called to get my son at grade school. He had been stuck with a pencil and was pretty pale. No bleeding or anything. As we left the building I started peppering him with questions. Does it hurt really badly? Was there a lot of blood? Did you throw up? No to all the above. Then I asked, "What is bothering you so much." "Daddy, will I die of lead poisoning?" No wonder he was shook. A short explanation of graphite and lead and he was all smiles.

My parents taught me to save for a later date. I thought that if I put money in a retirement account every payday I would have an easy life in retirement; it did not work out that way.

When I was in 1st or 2nd grade, I swallowed a penny. I thought I was going to die and I was too embarrassed to tell anyone. I just followed my mother around all day in hopes that she'd be close when I died. I am a little old lady now. It didn't kill me yet! :)

Do you remember it coming out? I've always wondered if coins can clog the plumbing.
