One time when I was 4 years old my parents played on a soft-ball team. I remember that this guy was injured and people helped him into our van and my dad drove him to the hospital.
When dad came back to take us home I was very afraid to get in the back of the van. There was a red blob in the back bigger than my fist. When my mom asked what was scaring me. I said "guts". I didn't know what "guts" looked like but for sure I believed that the blob in the back of the van was the injured player's "guts".
They were just a pair of socks rolled into a ball... but I believed they were "guts".
