      You do have to be careful, though. I got myself a ban on a text based MMO back in the day when I was a dumb kid for saying I raped and exam.

      In hindsight it was very insensitive

    When I was like 5, I mixed up spectacles with testicles.

    ‘I can’t do the test today teacher, I forgot my testicles at home’

    Huh? It seems like “we got obliterated out there” would mean the same thing in that situation, not sure why that would tip the poster off as to what sodomize actually means.

    At some point when I was a young kid and hadn’t learned anything about anything, I got it in my head that “condoms” is an abbreviation for “condiments.”

    Fast forward to watching the color drain out from my poor mother’s face at a restaurant when, after being asked if we needed anything, I calmly and with a completely straight face informed the waitress that we could use some condoms.

      My aunt was horrified when I told her I made a condom…I had made apartment with LEGO and just learned the word “condominium”

      When I was a kid, my parents had a dog that was already getting up there in years, named Arthur. At some point it was explained to me that he was moving slowly and getting tired more quickly because of his arthritis.

      I thought my dad was saying ‘Arthur-itis,’ as a way of saying the dog was getting old and frail. I discovered my mistake when we were at my grandmother’s and I blamed her taking an hour to get ready to go out for dinner on her ‘Nana-itis’

    At 9 years old I excelled in English. My teacher gave me the extension task of finding 10 words to add to a spelling list every week. Part of it was using the word in a sentence.

    I misremembered the word ‘substitute’ one week, and my sentence for the word I chose instead became “Contact lenses are used as a prostitute for glasses.”

    Somehow I was still allowed to continue the extension tasks after that.

    When I was still in junior school, our team lost badly at football. I went home and told my parents we were well and truly buggered. (That’s what Jamie had said and I thought it sounded appropriately drastic.) Mum gasped and sternly said my name, and Dad sternly said that I shouldn’t use that word. I asked why not. Very patiently, he explained to me what it meant. I was a little taken aback and did indeed stop using that word.

    Well… he’s not wrong.

    He’s not correct, either; he’s just less wrong than he’s correct.
