A childhood belief about speaking

When i was 3, my 10 year old cousin said she had piano lessons and couldn't play with me.

For some reason, i thought that piano was a type of a game you play on a table, like chess or checkers. My cousin was confused when i asked her where the "pinanno"(how i pronounced "piano") game was. Then when i told her she said she had "pinnano" lessons and couldn't come over, she laughed and told me what it really was. I felt stupid.

I never had a piano in my house, only a toy keyboard, so that's probably why i never knew what it was.
