When I was about 4, I dropped a piece of carrot from my plate onto the floor. In my frustration, I uttered a random syllable, which happened to be the "F-word". My parents were shocked, and my mom said "Do you know what that word means?? It means 'kill your mother'!" Until I was about 13 I believed that that was another meaning of that word.
