When I was in 6th grade my health teacher kept talking about 'rubbers'. I was like... what the hell is that? I knew what a condom was at the time... and for some reason I thought when she said rubbers she was talking about those yellow rubber rain boots... it made no sense to me how wearing boots would help during sex.
