When I was in third grade, I heard a joke at home about a "magic pill." As a school project, everyone in my third grade class had a penpal. Well, I thought this joke was funny and wrote about it to my penpal. When I showed the letter to my teacher she told me that the joke was inappropriate. Apparently, the "magic pill" was a reference to birth control. I had no idea what that was. I was very embarrased, erased the whole letter, and re-wrote it!
