When my mom was pregnant with my younger brother, I went through her day planner calendar, drawing festive little pictures for each holiday.
For Labor Day, I drew a picture of a pregnant lady lying on a hospital bed. I knew the "giving birth" sense of the word, but not the more general "hard work" sense of it.
Everyone thought that was very amusing.
