In our seventh grade science class while reading a chapter in our books out loud, when one person was asked to read a paragraph about squids, he said "A squid has ten 'testicles' while an octopus has only 8." He was supposed to say TENTACLES!!! The whole class burst out laughing!
A childhood belief about speaking
others believed things like this
- I used to think that 'testicles' was the word for the arms of a squid or an octopus. — Emily
- My uncle convinced me that if you ate octopus, the suckers on the tentacles would suck your tongue out— Minnie
- I used to confuse tentacles and testicles when I was younger. It was funny— Chelsea
- I used to believe that the Chinese boy in my kindergarten class flew from China every day to get to class.— Debi
- I used to think my elementary school gym teacher's name was "Jim Class".— Brandon Campbell
- I used to think that teachers always had to officially announce to the whole class why someone was off sick.Anon
