A childhood belief about speaking

When I was a kid my teacher said, "Children, if you feel the need to vomit, just go immediately to the bathroom -- you do not have to ask me for permission first." I always thought that she said "bomb-it" for vomit. It made perfect sense to me because that's exactly what happens when you throw up. It wasn't until third grade that I actually learned the true spelling of the word.
