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.


I was 5 or 6 the first time I went to the USS Alabama.

As we pulled into the parking lot I got a little nervous and asked my parents “What if the ship needs to leave while we’re still on it?”

I used to think if I shot my cap gun at a tornado it would go away


Tried it once before my mom ran out and grabbed me off the back patio. Didn’t work, my swing set ended up 200 yards into the cotton field

I was looking through some old photo albums of my grandmother's a couple years ago when my youngest came and started to look and ask who was who in the pictures. He was like 4 at the time. A couple days later he asked me what it was like "when everything g was brownish yellow". I had no clue what he was talking about at first. He was talking about the tint from the old pictures from the 70s and 80s in the photo albums.

Another one about my son I just remembered: Our oven has the dial thermostat with 50 degree increments marked. He wanted a frozen pizza a couple weeks ago and I told him to turn the oven on 375. He comes in the living room a couple minutes later and tells me not to buy that brand of pizza anymore because our oven won't go to 375. He said "it only goes to 350 then skips to 400.

He may be a touch slow.

Funny/Stupid Things You Thought As a Kid...


10 year old Neighbor: "Girls don't have a penis. They have a vagina."

6 year old me: "That's wild. What's a vagina."

Neighbor: "It's like a butt, but it's in the front."

Me: "So girls don't have a butt?"

I thought that Abraham Lincoln debated Frederick Douglass seven times. That led me to believe that Lincoln may have been a bit of an *ss. Who would lay into Douglass like that after everything he had been through?

I dated a girl who told me that when she was a little kid she thought menstrual periods were blue because in all of the commercials they would pour blue liquid on the maxipads and tampons to show their absorbancy.

When my mom was telling me that she wanted to quit smoking, I told her that she could eat cold turkey because I heard that helps.

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.


My mom once said to me in the car while we passed the plants in Lake Charles, that this is where dad makes his bread and butter.

Literally thought dad worked for a bread and butter factory and brought it home for us to eat. Also told my teacher this when asked what my dad does...'he makes bread and butter", hahahaha

I thought germs were ants that only come out when you're not looking or asleep. The smallest things I could see were ants, and I couldn't see germs, so it made sense when I was 4.

The phrase "Straight and narrow"


As a child I thought the phrase was "straightened arrow". Like their path was broken and had been mended.

He was doing bad but now he's on the straightened arrow.

there was a structure somewhere that held back water similar to a dam and was known as the "Watergate"

Misheard lyrics for me when I was younger were: "Dirty jeans and the thunder-jeep!" (Dirty deeds done dirt cheap)

If you jumped off a roof with a bed sheet over your head, it would act as a parachute and you'd not get hurt..................WRONG

One time I bragged to my mom that I finished my entire dinner before she even sat down at the table. She asked if I wanted a medal, and of course I wanted a reward to honor my momentous achievement.

Never heard that phrase again until I was a sophomore in high school and a coach said the same thing to me. I immediately realized I was never going to get that medal from my mother.

Once heard a kid about 6 tell her mom she didn't think she should go to school that day. When asked why, she replied "I think I have loose bottles".

I damn near fell out hearing that, as did the mom.
