Yup. Over in Jackson, Mom and little-me would listen to Farmer Jim Neal on WSLI say "now we're going to bring (insert some crooner like Perry Como) over to the microphone to sing for you, me and the Old Feist Dog".
Been in the radio biz now for 42 years, and I still chuckle at little-smart-me trying to figure out the logistics of all of those acts lined up at the studio door just to play one song.

Thought that wedding and baby showers they were taking real showers.
Thought that gorilla warfare was real gorillas.
I thought that Jimi Hendrix kissed a guy.

I was a big "Grease" fan when I was a little kid. Like 5 years old. Would watch it every time I could. In the song, I thought they were saying, "Grease is the world...it's got you, it's got me in it"
I would hear the name Olivia Newton John as "Olivia, Newt and John." I knew Sandy's name was Olivia and Danny's name was John (Travolta.) I figured "Newt" must be their kid. I would talk to my Mom about this and she would try to explain it but I just couldn't get it.

I thought when looking at old black and white photos that everything back then was literally only in black and white (as in no such thing as color). I believed that some time in the 50s or 60s (when color photos became popular) people started getting color.

Haha. Mark me down for these two as well.

When I was super young, I used to ask my dad why it was called "L S Shoe." He would respond that it stood for Louisiana State University. Not yet having an understanding of the alphabet, this was no use to me. I was really curious about the shoe.
My favorite song was "Don't Drop the Juice Box" by Alan Jackson.

My first grade PE coach told the class that if we misbehaved we would be in boiling hot water. This scared the shite out of me. Every day during PE I was looking for a giant witches pot big enough to boil me in.
After my mother explained to me how my little brothers would nurse I thought chocolate milk came from black people.

My Dad told me once that when he was a kid, he tore one of those "Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law" labels off a new mattress my grandparents had bought, and then spent the next couple of days hiding under the bed because he was convinced the cops were coming to get him.

Moving to New Orleans, I'd never heard of a poboy. Odd thing for my dad to ask me...

I used to think that "being a drunk" was a physical condition, as in if you drink too much alcohol, you're drunk for the rest of your life.

I used to get really confused by people rounding the time, i.e. if it's 3:47 and you say 4 o clock, etc. This was before I was in school and really knew what rounding was. Drove me nuts.
Another one was I was really confused by the term "black people" because they're brown, not black. Also got kind of confused by the phrase "white people" come to think of it. It's really more of a peach color in most cases. My mom sat me down and said, "Don't say brown people, they don't like that." It was kindergarten and it really confused me to say black instead of brown. Didn't mean anything by it, just saying what I saw.

Yeah, no you didn't. But, you're edgy now.

When I was 6 or 7 I got caught singing "ole Mcdonald sitting on a bench, beating his meat with a monkey wrench, miss his meat hit his balls, pissed all over his overalls"
I had no idea what beating his meat ment other than tenderizing a steak.
I got sick one time and the dr said he was gonna give me antibiotics. I told my brother I was getting bionics like the million dollar man.

The silver war.
Church always made me be running my fastest. No matter what.
Every Sunday in our country church, it was drilled into me the he will come again to judge the quick and the dead. And I damn sure wanted to stay alive

I thought the Cher song Gypsies Tramps and Thieves was Gypsies Chimpanzees.
