When I was 6 or so, my mom told me she was going on a business trip to Seattle. I thought she meant she was going to see a friend named Attle (i.e., "see Attle"). She came back and was telling me about her hotel room. When she mentioned there was only one bed, I asked, "so where did Attle sleep?" She laughed at me.
