When I was about 5, I saw a Daisy sour cream commercial saying something like “four generations of the family will enjoy this”. Because I saw four people at the table, I was convinced that “generations” meant “members”. I learned otherwise when I said there would be four generations eating when it was really just me, my brother, and my parents.
