When I was little, I found a box of condoms in my parent's bedroom drawers. For some reason I thought it was a pack of cigarattes, and I thought my parents smoked, to my great horror! So the next day I whispered to my sister secretly, sis ...I think mommy or daddy smokes ... Mom overheard us and asked me why would I think that and i said I found the cigarattes in their bedroom. Confused, she asked me to show it to her ..which I did. She snatched them from my hands and just told me quickly they aren't cigarattes ...but never explained what they are. I believed they smoke until a few years ago, talk about embarassment!
