When I was about 5, my brother was watching a football(American) game with the Chicago Bears playing someone, but i forget who. Whoever they were, my brother was rooting for them and not the Bears so when he said "Oh no! A Bear made a touchdown" I got this image in my head of an actual bear wandering the football field, making a touchdown, and that this is somehow upsetting to my brother. I still laugh when I think of this image.
