If restaurants serve alcohol in Canada they may say on their sign “Licensed”
When I was young, well until 16 or 17, I thought they meant they had their license just to be a restaurant. I always thought it odd that they felt the need to say something on their sign that was something ALL restauarnts should have.

When I was ten or so, we went on a school outing to a local cemetary (slightly morbid, but it helped stoke my interest in horror)…anyway, we were told to find an inscription on a gravestone which we’d then record on a vid cam.
I found (what I then thought) was the grave of a war hero, as the gravestone said he “died in infantry”. It was only when I was old enough to reminisce about it that I realized whoever was buried there had “died in infancy”…
Don’t have nightmares…

Not sure how I messed this up so bad
When I was little I used to sing and dance to Michael Jackson all the time
“Billie Jean is not my lover” are the words
I sang for years “I’m full of cheese butterfly darlin”
I also thought Ronald McDonald and Michael Jackson were the same person.

Are you sure you were wrong? Did anyone ever see Ronald McDonald and Michael Jackson in the same place at the same time?
Sometimes I either mis-hear or fail to hear a consonant or two. A few weeks ago I was listening to the radio and I thought I heard something on the news about “black air”. “Black air” was spotted in this town; “black air” was later seen in that town. I was turning this over in my mind, thinking it must be fog mixed with some kind of particulate matter, when at some point I realized the news story was about a “black bear”.

That could have been from watching old Star Trek episodes where Spock used the word “approximately” combined with ironically precise numbers, and not picking up on the irony.
when i was a kid i thought that the time changed slightly no matter how far east and west you moved so if you drove 20 miles away i though the time was slightly different but eveyone only bothered to go by hours to keep it simple and i made sure to tell everyone i knew about it

You were actually right.

i relized that after i posted but the way i thought about it was weird as if no adults relized it and they were doing it wrong
When I was a kid I thought the hazard lights button on the car dashboard was a self-destruct button.
And I thought Old Mcdonald was Ronald McDonald, who had a farm where he raised cows to make hamburgers.
It took me longer than I should have to distinguish Hitler and Charlie Chaplin. Like I knew who did what but I would always mess up their pictures.
For the longest time I thought that the Doobie Brothers were a band full of potheads.

Might be on to something here
We haven’t seen much of Ronald McDonald since MJ passed have we?
In the Manfred Mann cover of the Bruce Springsteen song, I used to think “wrapped up like a deuce, another runner in the night” was “wrapped up like a douche” (as in, the feminine hygiene product). I didn’t know what that meant, but that was how the singer pronounced it.
[It’s actually a reference to a Deuce Coupe wrapped around a tree, from running from the coppers.]

So it’s NOT douche?
Damn.
Anyway, Manfred Mann’s version is better that Springsteen’s.
