Used to call 'crisps' 'cripps', then I found out that the 'cripps' are a violent gang in LA , aahhhh blissful ignorance

I used to think that when a teacher was unable to teach because they'd gone on a course, it was meant that they were doing a golf course.

In all likelihood, that was, and perhaps still is the case. I know I'd go golfing if I had the week off.

That's very random!



According to a teacher that I know, some high school kid asked her the other day whether beans are made of meat or milk

I laughed quite hard.

It is said that in Germany (maybe it also applies to other countries) due to the lilac Milka cow (don't know whether this is known in the UK, it as a lilac-white cow featured in tv spots for the chocolate brand Milka) more and more children from cities actually think cows are lilac and white

To avoid having to go outside and buy us icecream when we had icecream in the house already, my mum told us that the sound of the icecream truck playing it's tune was actually a feature of our next door neighbour's pond.

The version I've most often heard is that the tune plays when the van has run out of ice cream.

Musical pond. Wow. What I've been missing!

That Grand Prix is pronounced 'Grand Pricks'.

I never understood why all the adults used to laugh when I said this.

Oh dear, I must've spent a good 2 hours reading through all this

When I was little I used to say the Lord's Prayer as "deliver us by eagles" instead of "deliver us from evil".

I used to know a girl who thought the lyrics to that High School Musical song were "we're sorry, for lying" instead of "we're soaring, flying".

I thought 'Monet' and 'Manet' were the same person until today.....

I also thought girls weren't allowed to buy Yorkie bars!

We aren't. It specifically says 'Not for girls'.

For a long time, as a child, I thought my mother was a virgin! Oh the shock when I realised otherwise.....

I used to think turbulence on airplanes was the wings hitting trees. I was only 16.

Standard altitude on a commercial flight: 32,000 ft

Seems legit.

Misconceptions can have dramatic consequences.

The 1917 Bolshevik revolution started when people realized that the tsar and the czar were the same person.

That Tory is another word for Conservative.

I thought that people having big hearts and all these heart problems was random but i found out in PE that to be good at sports you need bigger hearts,to pump oxygen around the heart properly,so no wonder why so many people in sports have heart problems because they need to have a big heart for their sport.
