when i was 4 or 5 whitney houston's song "i get so emotional" had just been released. until my mom heard me singing it and filled me in, i thought that the line "its shocking what love can do" was actually "his jacket was white and blue". to add insult to injury, my elementary school colors were white and blue, so i thought maybe she had a crush on a boy in my school.
