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?

O yeah, I remembered more. When I was little I though a hand job is when girls sucked on your hand.

Then I though you got pregnant my just sticking your weiner into a girl, and boom. You're done. My mom asked me to explain what I knew and said that, and I don't remember if she corrected me or not. I was young though.

my grandma thinks on a daily basis that there is a hurricane in her house trying to suck all of the coke out of her can. she thinks eveyone is lying to her when they say there isn't. her life is a total lie. more like a hallucination but a lie, nonetheless.

ahhaha i used to think it was some fancy 'G'

besides my 'nip it in the butt' that started this fiasco, i'm not really sure what else i've mistaken, i'm still recovering from that major blow.

oh i thought of another one!! there was a time in my life i thought that a guy giving a girl head literally meant shoving your entire head in her vag, and thus it didn't make sense when i heard about girls giving guys head because i didn't think it would be nice to have a girl's head in my dick. holy shit, that was in 6th grade, and my friends fucking RIPPED me for that, i was paying for that one for about 3 years.

just so you know...there is a such thing as a wind shield.

but also i thought that "feces", was the same thing as a fetus....

like one time a teacher came in and said "the girls bathroom is closed, because someone smeared feces all over the walls"

and i thought, OMG someone had an abortion and smeared dead baby all over the walls!!!!!!

I KNOW!

also, i thought that when someone said "you don't know shit from shinola" they meant the person doesnt know anything from the town of Shinola.

rather than have the ability to tell the difference between shit, and shinola.

am i spelling shinola right?

what is shinola anyway?

i used to think the Illinois interstate signs were a picture of a penguin, but it's only the state with an I in it or something.  i still can't see the penguin when i look, but i used to be convinced that's what it was, and confused why there were pictures of penguins all over I 94

i always thought that these little air conditioning/heating vents i had in one of the walls of my old house was a urinal and me and my brother used to pee in them until my grandma saw us one day and nearly died of a heart attack. i also thought that "made ya look" was actually pronounced "major look".

to this day, kids at my school will say "I pledge of allegiance to the flag" 
damnit it is the pledge of allegiance, in which you pledge allegiance, you dont pledge of allegiance.
