Ha, nope. But I'm old. I figured younger women knew about that from PG-13 movies. And every guy I ever dated tried to immediately educate me on that topic.
Things You Completely Didn't Understand As a Child

When I was little (early elementary), I thought that wrestling was real and remember one time wondering why when Hulk Hogan had be sent to the hospital there wasn't anything in the news about the incident nor his recovery.
Nope, I never got it either. Also had pretty much the same experience with "health class"
Couldn't understand why I never got a phone call to be on Legends of the Hidden Temple with my friends. We would have sooo won all the prizes!
I'm with yeah....and our older middle school health teacher tried to explain the poster that said, "pet your dog, not your date."
me neither. But we had a farm, so I figured it out by the time I hit double digits anyway. Though before I had my first date with my now-husband, she decided to sit me down and have this talk about teenagers and their hormones and how I don't want to end up pregnant. I'm just thinking mooooooooooooooooom stop talllllking. Then during our date, I'm thinking to myself, "I wonder if those hormones are going to go crazy on him and he's going to jump on me or something".
A couple weeks later she wants to have another talk about birth control. I was so tempted to be like, wait what, what is that for? How do babies get made? And make her do the birds and bees talk but I decided I didn't really want to sit through that.
When I was really young, I thought drinking and driving meant don't drink ANYTHING when driving. My mom had to explain it to me when I freaked out on her for opening a Diet Pepsi while she was driving.
I remember accusing my dad of doing drugs during a unit in school that we were learning about caffeine
I used to wonder where the light in the room went to when you turned off the switch. Later, I wondered if you lined all the room with mirrors, would the light just bounce around in there forever?
During the 1972 Munich Olympics I thought Gorillas had attacked the athletes not Guerrillas. I had an image of these huge Gorillas throwing around the weight lifters like they were rag dolls.
Yep I know right out of Captain Ron.

I remember when my best friend got his drivers licence and we were driving on S14 headed toward Nevada. We met a Story County Deputy coming toward us as I took a drink of pop. Dude went out of his freaking skull thinking we were going to get pulled over! I still remember looking at him like he was joking, but he was as serious as a Sean Penn movie!
Pretty much my 7 year old take on the Kennedy Assassination and follow-on coverage; which if my memory serves correctly was a full 2 weeks. And there was no cable, VCR, DVDs, internet - just 3 networks with wall-to-wall coverage so no escaping it. Not even the Beverly Hillbillies, my favorite! A kid can only stand so much talking heads - no matter how significant the historical event.
This happened to me during the Oklahoma City Bombing. I was home sick from school and was ****** I couldn't watch The Price Is Right.
