When I was about six, I was sitting at the kitchen table drawing, and my foot fell completely asleep. This was a new expirience to me, so I asked my dad what it was called when you foot did that. He was watching T.V at the time, so he didn't really pay attention to what I asked and he said "Thats diareah, dear." And I didn't know what diareah was at that time either, so I went to school and told everyone (including the teacher) that it really tickled when I had diareah. Then I found out when a good friend of mine told me what diareah was.
