I thought in Harry Potter when they “sacked” Professor Dumbledore that they twisted his nutsack AND then fired/expelled him.

Suffice it to say, Chamber was far more dramatic and high-stakes for me than it needed to be.

Let’s go, come clean Lemmingz

I misunderstood what “war machine” meant.

I heard phrases on TV like “it cost $1 billion dollars per month to keep the war machine running” and “the US captured 100,000 barrels of oil per day to feed the war machine” and I thought this thing must be some epic beast.

The terrorists better watch out! We’re sending the war machine! It must have, like, sawblade hands and tank tracks and breathe fire and have machine gun turrets.

Imagine my disappointment when I learned that THE WAR MACHINE was just a metaphor and not a Mecha Godzilla

“Dumbledore, I’m afraid you’ve just put the students in danger one too many times. We’re going to have to sack you; then you’ll be asked to resign.”

When reading books about Robin Hood: “Robin Hood hated bloodshed”

I thought it was a literal shed. Where people fought and bled inside.

5th grade. I knew what cloning was, but had never heard the word “Cyclone” until an ill-fated English lesson at school.

I actually raised my hand and asked the teacher why she was referring to a tornado using a term for genetic replication. She didn’t know, “Genetic Replication”.

There’s awkward, then there’s that moment. 🤦
