when my brother and i were kids (around 8 yrs old), there used to be this keychain in our home's odds and ends drawer that interested us so. there was a condom inside the clear plastic with the words, "break in case of emergency." one time, my brother did finally break it and showed it to me. when my mom saw the unwrapped condom, she had my dad deal with the situation. first my dad asked us what we thought a condom was for. my answer: it's a magic barf bag with the same purpose as the ones you see in the pocket in front of your seat in an airplane. my brother's idea: some kind of magical oxygen mask which people with asthma use just like the brown paper bag. notice how we both thought it was magical? i hated knowing what a condom really was for afterwards.
