picture it: 6th grade. my best friend has a crush on the hot guy in the class. he always had cornrows but for a week he wore his hair out in a fro. we decided we would call him furburger.

when she overheard me and my friend using this name/phrase, she not only sent my friend home but i got the LONGEST lecture on using "grown-up" words and that if i dont know what something means i shouldnt say it.

i had to spend the rest of the afternoon/night in my room and couldnt come out until i told her what it meant. but i SWEAR i didnt know (and to this DAY i have no idea what it means) and it only made her madder the next morning when i still didnt have an answer for her. i'm guessing its along the lines of muff/beaver, but at 11-12, my mind really wasnt there!

a similar situation happened when i was younger (i was about 5-6 years old). i was sitting on the top of a fence that had pointed stakes at the top, and when mom came to pick me up from school that day, i said something to the effect of "my butt is all horny from sitting on the fence." and well, there went the afternoon.

its crazy because i got the sex talk very young yet mom was more uncomfortable telling me what the word "horny" meant than describing the act itself.

I thought of something else I had gotten yelled at for. In fifth grade, there was a new family that had moved into the house at the end of the block. The oldest daughter was about my age and had New Kids On The Block everything (backpack, lunchbox, folders, trapperkeeper, pencils, etc). New Kids On The Block had been popular when we were in third and fourth grade but was passe by fifth grade. When we were on the schoolbus, my friend Stephanie and I would make fun of the new girl for liking NKOTB and we would call her Markobitch because her last name was Markovich.

Well, after several weeks of this, the girl refused to go to school. That night, my mom got a phone call from the girl's mom. My mom woke me up and yelled at me for picking on the girl and for using the word bitch. Early the next morning, my mom woke me up and marched me down the street to apologize to the girl.
