My friend and I went to see the play "South Pacific" and there's a song talking about racism and how it's not natural, that people are "carefully taught" to be so.
Well, my friend thought they were singing "You must be careful, E. Tawt" as if it was a warning to a certain Mr. E. Tawt.
After clarifying what the song was really saying, I asked her who she thought E. Tawt was... she answered..."I didn't know! That's why I was sooo confused!"
