My wife always sings Fergie’s The smell of foreskin lingers on me instead of your skin lingers.

Ok, where do or did you live? I came here to type that I used to think this and tell this story all the time.

Thought that was the lyrics. I was a kid in the 70’s and my buddies and I would laugh at this

I used to think Michael Jackson said "ya ma" as in "your momma" when he says "come on"

One of the first LSU football games I attended as a child was a Tulane game, and some drunk guy was screaming "Tiger bait" for 30 minutes straight in his drunken slurred voice. I thought something was wrong with him and he was screaming "Tulane get beat" the whole time.

For a long time (from age 4 to 5 or 6), I thought I was eating at Waterburger. I felt incredibly stupid when I realized my mistake.


Did you live in Texas? That's what they call it here. It's petty weird.

I feel pretty stupid about it now, but at one point I thought DLR was saying "you guys are immature" instead of "you'll lose her in the turn" in Panama.

I am always learning lyrics that I realize I just kind of held in my mind as gibberish.

Up until around May of this year, I always thought “Barbara Ann” by The Beach Boys was actually saying, “Bob Bob Bob…Bob Bob a Ran”. Didn’t find out the true name until I looked up the lyrics. Our little boy had just turned 10 months at the time and he would constantly make noise that sounded like the song, so we’d always play it.

Well, I ((like Garp’s son) thought I had to watch out for the Under Toad when at the seaside.

The first thing that came to mind. I once thought that once you officially lived for 100 days, then that means you were about to die.

In first grade our teacher was counting down until our 100th day of school. She was planning on throwing us a party for some reason. Somehow, someway, I thought the party was celebrating our deaths on our 100th day of life. As the day got closer, I began to make peace that I would soon die. I did all my chores, I was nice to my brother and let him watch all the tv he wanted. I paid attention in church, and prayed that God would take care of my family.
Once the fateful day arrived, I was in tears as my dad dropped me off. I told him I loved him and thanked him for being such a great dad, and I said that I will miss him.

Obviously my fears didn't happen, and it was a pretty normal day at school.
To this day I don't understand my logic at all regarding this. How and why tf did I think 100 days of school equalled 100 days of living. And why did I think you would die once you lives for 100 days. Why didn't I tell my parents about any of this. They would have set me straight. Also why tf did I think this way in the 1st grade. I knew how to fricking read and write at that point, yet my common sense was at 0.

I pray to God that when I have kids, they don't come out as dumb as me.
