When I was in primary school, every now and then some people would come in to do talks on how to be safe doing everyday jobs. One time they came in to do a talk about chip pans saying how you should never put them in water straight after or theyll cause a fire or something along those lines. I thought that chippan was a type of monkey so the whole time was trying to figure out why there would be a monkey in the kitchen and how a monkey could cause so many fires!
