My dad used to tell me that when I got into my teens, I would turn into a "Gorshkin," a kind of animal that has horns. I used to picture some kind of gargoyle or puck creature.
It turns out it was his little joke, and he actually told me that in my teens, I would become a Gorshkin, which was "horny" creature.
