One day when I was about 6 or 7, I was at the grocerey store with my mom. After we had paid for the food, I read the receipt (I loved reading them, don't ask why). The food names are abreviated to save space, so instead of seeing "Swanson Chicken Pie" on the receipt, I saw "Swan Chick Pie". Naturally, being the animal lover that I am, I didn't want to eat a pie made out of baby swans! So I declared to my mom, "I'm never eating little swans, and you can't make me!" After she finally figured out what I was talking about, she burst out laughing. I'll never live that one down.
