I used to be convinced that rocks were living creatures.
I'm sure it made sense at the time.
I just had to quote this for the awesomeness of it.
As for embarrassing moments in school... I can't really think of any that can't be completely misconstrued...
Oh well, one time in third grade during show and tell some girl brought in a doll. After explaining what it meant to her, why she brought it in to show us etc. we were allowed to ask questions about it. I put up my hand and asked if she could 'take the dolls clothes off'.
God it was so embarrassing, I meant the question more as 'is the doll one piece, or are the clothes seperate'. The teacher came to my rescue and explained what I meant, but jeez I can't even remember if everyone was laughing about it or completely appalled.
Oh childhood... how you make me laugh..
