A childhood belief about speaking

When I was about 7 the movie "Titanic" came out. My parents took me to go see and there's a scence where Leonardo DiCaprio is describing an encounter he had with a one-legged prostitue. Naive me didn't know what a prostitute was and just assumed it was a pretty lady. Later that day my parents and I were leaving from a diner and I said very loudly "Look mommy! I'm a one-legged prostitute!" as I hopped around on one leg. I thought I was being very clever so I said this quite loudly so everyone in the diner heard. My parents quickly told me to be quiet as they rushed me out of the diner.
