i used to think in michael jackson's billie jean he said "the chair is not my son" instead of "the child is not my son". i asked my mom when i was about 7 why he would state the obvious like that, because obviously a chair couldn't be a son. i also thought he couldn't really have a son because he was michael jackson. too bad i was wrong.
