Stupid stuff you thought about as a child

[ShadowHM]

Ok...

I had stupid confusions as a child too. B)

But this one comes from one of my kids: Listening to some country gospel music (compilation from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Will The Circle Be Unbroken) one day on the way to the cottage, small son pipes up from the back seat:

"I want to find that place, Mum"
"What place?"
"The one in the song."
"Huh? You want to find the Little Mountain Church House?"
"Oh Yes ! That's where they found their life's corner store. I want one too!"

Yep, it did sound good to a kid who had just learned that a Loonie* would not buy a lot of candy at the corner store. But.....imagine if you had your own corner store !

And I had to be the adult and bust his bubble to explain that it was a life's cornerstone that the man found, and then his little eyes started glazing over when I tried to explain why that would be a Good Thing™. :(



* A Loonie is a Canadian one dollar coin
