When I was in 5th grade I was talking to my friend Nora. I was talking about animals and mentioned a "horny toad". I thought this was the kind of toad that has little spike-like things on it's face. Nora started laughing hysterically, and after she was done, she explained to me what the word horny ment, but I still didn't get it.
