I had injured my knee badly when I was little. When it was open and bleeding, I noticed what I now know was probably a ligament and some other ooky stuff in there.
In front of the whole family when I was about 9 or so, I was recreating what the wound looked like and I said, "It looked like I had testicles in there." I meant to say "tentacles" b/c of all the weird freaky stuff. Well, the whole family just roared and I sat there saying, "what? what? what?!"
How silly.
