A childhood belief about condoms

When I was about 8 me and my friend watched the movie Coneheads, in one of the scenes one of the coneheads pulls out a package of condoms and starts chewing on one. my friend then asked me what that was that he was chewing on, me knowing quite abit for my age told him it was a condom. he then asked me what a condom was, i wouldnt tell him because i found it awkward, we then had a moment of silence and suddenly he burst out and said
"i know what a condom is" i said
"what is it then?"
He said,
"its for old men to put on their penis' so they dont pee themselves"
me, just wanting to end the conversation said,
"yeah thats right"
He then ran to his parents and yelled out,
"I know what a condom is!"
...his parents loved me from that moment on
