I always wonder about parents who do that. Like, did they just not look at the initials of the name they were choosing before doing it, or did they see it and go, "Meh, that's going to be just fine"?

I used to have similar thoughts about tv shows. I didn't think the people on the shows knew they were being filmed and wondered if I was secretly on a tv show as well. Kinda like the Truman show.
Most boring show ever.
Oh look, she's awake. Oh look, she's eating breakfast. Now she's working. Now she's on CF. Cf. Cf. Cf, working. working. goes home. goes to bed.
Ratings gold!
I watched the Thriller laser disc a lot when I was a kid. They had a Pepsi ad on there and called MJ "The King of Pop." Well one day, I'm sitting there and that ad runs through and I say, "See mom, he's not just the king of Pepsi, he's the king of all pop."

two stand out:
1. I thought oral sex was just another term for french kissing
2. When I was about 4 I thought that war was when groups of people didn't like each other, so they would set up their tents in a big circle and try to steal each others' stuff at night. Whoever got the most stuff in the end, would win.

To go along with this, I used to think movies were all live. And I also was very confused when some actors were in different movies over and over again
This made me laugh out loud.
I heard a yeast infection commercial and though in my head "... it must be from going out east and getting and infection."
They have those stupid erectile dysfunction ads during football games and other stuff my boys watch. I have left the explanation to the husband each time one has a question about it.
Showing my age, but I could never figure out how they got the Tidy Bowl Man down into the toilet bowl.
I always thought that water towers were big indoor water parks. I was always mad when my parents said I couldn't go
I did this as well. Right in front of my mother. That didn't go over well.
When I was 6, I thought that Tom Brokaw's name was Mikhail Gorbachev because he was always mentioning that guy's name.
That's interesting to think about - all of the big political events that happened when we were little, and what we thought of them. I remember the Challenger exploding and the Berlin Wall coming down, those were both just enormous.
I remember the start of Gulf War I when my dad showed me CNN. They had some video of rockets or something being fired in the darkness. It confused me a bit because my sister had just been born and my parents referred to her dirty diapers as "Scuds".
I was super-young when the Iran-Contra trials of Oliver North were all over TV. I remember my babysitter was ****** that she had to miss "The Price is Right."
