Childhood Misunderstandings

[Pete]

Quote from this week at work by a 10 year old. "I am allergic to Hayfever"
My favourite " Louis Armstrong was the first man on the Moon". (did he sing What a Wonderful World?)
What misunderstandings did you or your friends have at school?:funnyhat:

I had a friend who (AGED 15!!!!!!) still thought for some completely bizarre reason "We are the Champions" was actually "We are the Champignons" and went round singing about mushrooms!!!!! Oh dear!:p

I can remember telling my mum when I was 10 (many years ago) I had sung a "polo" rather than a "solo"

[mammamedley]

when I was a little girl after one of my first little races I ran up to my mum very pleased with myself cos I had got 'squalified'!!!!!

My friend thought that euthanasia meant 'Youth in Asia' until last week!

Once new a girl who worked with me and we sent her out to buy...
a bubble for a spirit level, a long stand, and tartan paint
and she actually went to shops and asked for them!
d'uh!

once heard of a labourers assistant who got sent for 5mtrs of umbilical cord and spent 20mins in a hardware shop before asking for help and being very embarrased.


or did I make that up!?

[rogant stard]

Probably..

Heard a very similar story re a new-start at the pool I used to work at being sent to the chemist for a fallopian tube.

my little sister came out with a good one the other day, my mum and brother were talking about moon landings, naturally my sister asked where did the moon land?!

[swimmer]

i used to think the moon was made of cheese - but thn again i suppose most lil children do! - well i hope so neway!

[Bazza]

erm.... no! :p

Anyway when I started working at the local pool one of the managers told me an old favourite was to get new employees to water the plants. Which are all plastic.

When checking the log books once of the swimmers someone had wrote in their comments for the session that they were "naked" after the session. They were highly embarrassed when they realised and suddenly weren't as tired!!!

[stevenewman1]

One of our swimmers thought the local motorway was "lemon lemon" instead of M11

[super_fish88]

My little sister thought Dunblane was a street called Dumb Lane!!!!

[lane4]

One of the swimmers in my squad thought swimclub.co.uk was about the sport of swimming! It had us in stitches.

;) :D :devil:

[super_fish88]

My grandmother was recommended WD40 by the post man for her dodgy knee.

Boots apparetnly spent some time looking for it, before deciding they didn't keep it in stock?
