When I was a young child, I thought the song 'The Yellow Rose of Texas' was actually about a yellow rose, with eyes, legs, arms, a mouth, etc. I figured people falling in love with flowers was a common occurrance and spent many hours outside hunting for a talking flower to fall in love with.
It took me a month or so to realize that there was no such thing as talking plants, but I still thought the song was about a man who fell in love with a rose...
I was rather gullible as a kid.
