That’s just silly. We would have sent Chuck Norris first.

Anybody that lived North of I-10 was a Yankee. Then found out we lived North of I-10. Changed my demarcation line to Alexandria, LA.

I was hanging out with some Evangeline parish coonasses on Saturday for a birthday. Talking food and all that. When I told them I grew up in prairieville you'd have thought I said Buffalo New York!

I say man i went to school in Gonzales the Jambalaya capital of the world! More south than you!

My dad told me people wrote their names into concrete when it was wet.

I spent hours of my life at the ballpark trying to scratch my name into the dry concrete behind a dugout where the water faucet came out. Turns out running water onto dry concrete doesn't make it wet concrete.

I used to the that people who got “killed” in movies/tv shows was real and the money they made went to their families. But, like a dumbass kid in the ‘70’s and early teenager in the ‘80’s, I thought wrasslin was real…

I thought that when music was played on the radio, the band was in the radio station playing it.


I thought movies and TV shows were shot with one take.

I was also confused with first cousin, second cousin etc. I thought since my dad was the oldest out of 10 kids, we(his kids) were the first cousins of the family, my uncle Richard(2nd born)kids were the second cousins, so on and so forth.

The confused look on people's faces when I would tell a friend, "oh that's just my seventh cousin".

When I was little I remember asking my dad “What’s your job?”

His response was “I make money.”

I literally thought he made dollar bills and coins.

In the first grade, the teacher asked us what our dads did for work. When I told her in a serious fashion “he makes money” she cracked up laughing, and that confused the hell out of me.

I told my friends prudish mom that I wanted to be a prostitute growing up because I didn't know what it meant, but thought it sounded intellectual. ETA: From what I saw on TV, I didn't think color was invented until the early 60s.


I asked my parents one time what it was like to live when there was no color. I guess I always thought since the The Andy Griffith show was black and white everything was black and white in real life and color didn’t come along till right before I was born.

I also told everyone one time at my baseball game I was going to be a bootlegger when I grew up. I thought you just sold boots for a living.

I used to see the road signs that read ‘wrong way’ and wonder …” how do they know that’s not the right way when they don’t know where we are going ?”

When my mom would say that something was going around school, like the flu or a virus, I always imagined it just walking around school getting people sick. That's basically what it was though.

When I was small, my dad had me believing that the San Jacinto monument was on a short train track and thats why it moved from one side of the interstate to the other as we drove towards Houston

He also told me he could turn the dome light on in our Cutlass by pointing his finger at it.

By the time I was 8 and he convinced my cousins on a trip to Florida that the USS Alabama was probably going to shoot at us, I wasnt falling for it.

He may be the cause of my cynical nature.

I thought a fax machine sent the actual document and remembered being confused slightly about how it worked but didn't really bother to think too in depth about it.
