I was in 5th grade. One night I peed in my bed. I woke up in the morning, was like "oh crap!". I went downstairs and during breakfast with my family I said "I had a wet dream!". Mom was disgusted and told me to make my own bed...dad glanced at me and seemed disappointed.
:laugh:

A few years ago we had a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses drop by every week with a Watchtower magazine. Two nice teen boys sometimes with the mom or dad. I'd tell them that we had a religion, but still politely take their magazine. A few Aprils back the dad and kids stopped on our porch and invited us to church. I said "We already have plans for Sunday, but have a Happy Easter." The dad gave me a dirty look and stomped off. I closed to door and turned around to see my wife standing there jaw about dropped to the floor. "What?" I said.

She informed me that Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate Easter or Christmas or Birthdays and that I had just insulted him. Gee it's not like I was standing there eating a ham sandwich while talking to the guy. Anyway, they never came back after that.

When I was young my grandmother died.
Suddenly everyone was offering me their condolences... Took me a while to figure out what that was all about.

Also when I was 12 or 13, after a friends birthday party I was was sort of cubling with a girl, and we started to kiss a bit. I suddenly felt her tongue in my mouth.
I was like "OMG WTF are you doing? that's disgusting"

We never talked after that until I ran into her 8 years later, we had some good laughs about it and a very nice night.

When I was like 12-14 years old, I was about to go to sleep, laying down in bed, and my mom was laying down next to me, and we were talking, joking around. And we started singing the ABC song. When we got to the letter 'W', my mom says "Dub-uh-yuh, what the heck is dub-uh-yuh, how'd they come up with that one." Keep in mind my mom was educated in Southern Georgia, so all her teachers had pretty strong southern accents. I proceded to laugh, not believing my mom was serious, and had to explain to her, it's "double U", as in two U's, side-by-side. She was pretty embarassed, as she was 40+ years old at the time, and never knew, heh.

Then we told her, at the time, 60+ year old father, so he could also get a laugh out of it..... and he being also raised in southern Georgia, did not laugh, but confessed to not knowing that either.

Not so embarassing for me, but on topic I think =)

Being a car fan, and reasonably logical, when I was younger, I was under the distinct impression that cars moved forward by blowing the smoke out of the exhaust pipes. I presumed the engine was just a method of making the smoke and pumping it out.

I justified this because, higher performance cars tended to have more exhausts, or at least bigger ones. I don't remember the moment I learnt how it worked, but I remember that it dawned on me once that I used to think the exhausts pushed it forwards.

This is an interesting thread.

To "cover our tracks" we filled the bottle back up with our urine (somehow it made sense at the time). My friend's grandad was the unlucky one to taste the result. My friend and I got grounded for a long time.

HAHAHAHAHAA. My friend did that too.

When I was little I watched looney tunes and saw that whenever they had a knife they would check the sharpness by sliding there finger down the knife. While in a supermarket, i picked up a knife and slid my finger down. I learned that I am not invincible like cartoon characters.. =(

About a year ago I was in the presence of my girlfriend while she explained to her friend that a "boner" isn't actually a bone. The girl thought that we were joking, she really believed that a boner is a bone and thats why it gets hard, now the reall sad part is that we were all 18 when we had this discussion. :laugh:

The girl is obviously sheltered.

I know a guy who at 16 thought how to get a girl pregnant was sticking it in a girl's butt and pissing. Wow....we gave him a hard time about that.
