Did you misunderstand?

[19Dawn76]

I just posted some phrases or words in another topic that I misunderstood as a kid.

I thought the National anthem started with "Jose' can you see"

the SWAT team was the SQUAT team

Also I heard a story about a little boy who was the ring bearer at a wedding and thought he was the ring BEAR and growled the whole way down the aisle.

Can't think if any more right now. Do you have anything you misunderstood?

When I took my son fishing for the first time, he asked me what we would do with the fish. I told him make fish sticks. He said, with a completely serious face "Mom, you dummy. Fish sticks are made out of chicken."

Just remembered another - my mother is a nurse and she worked in the hospital POOL. I thought she got to swim all day.

There is a song out there that goes on about " Don't know much about History, Don't know much about biology..."
Well, for years I couldn't figure out for the life of me what a " French eyed Took" was.......... I learned later that the line was really "Don't know much about the French I took"

That reminded me of my mother. She always called the bathroom (at a restaurant, gas station, whatever) the 'restroom'. I was youngish (probably 7 or 8) and she told us kids (as we were in the car) that she was going to stop at this gas station to use the restroom. I was kind of scared, thinking she was going to leave us in the car for an hour or more while she took a nap!!

Theres a song that I always thought said "Hey Stupid, get down.." Someone finally told me that they are saying "Snoopy"

Oh another ones was Baby Got Back. I thought he was saying rumpelstiltskin. I never understood why he would be saying that. Then I finally got it one day. Its rub her smooth skin.

Montgomery Wards which everybody called Monkey Wards. I was sooo disappointed when I convinced my father to take me to Monkey Wards and there wasn't a monkey to be found ANYWHERE. I looked and looked. No monkeys.

I thought the song was "bringing in the sheets", I didn't know what a sheaf was. That word ought to be on the spelling thread....I don't have a clue how to spell it.

Up until this summer I thought the ACDC song went

Dirty deeds

and thunder please

Do NOT tell Steven I told you this!!

When he was a little younger, a couple of years ago, he was singing loudly to a song he really likes,, he was singing:
Breaker Breaker one nine she's a big ole' BIRD,, the line is Breaker Breaker one nine she's a big ole' FLIRT! I had to pull over I was laughing so hard,, now every time the song comes on I laugh and he gets mad.
