Up until a few years ago I thought that the SEAL in Navy SEALS was because they were trained to be vary agile in the water just like seals. Until later when I realized SEALs part was capitalized at it was an abrreviation for sea ,air, and land teams. Now I see , comically its a bit of both.

When the deck in my backyard was being built, the name of the man who built it was Robert. This is also my middle name, so I assumed someone's middle name was always the name of the person who built their deck. It hadn't occurred to me that the rest of my family have different middle names, or that I was given my name (including my middle name) before the deck was built.

I was about 6 when my youngest brother was born, and I remember thinking that Nathaniel was the stupidest name I had ever heard, and that it was temporary until my mom could think of a better one. I even asked her if that was his real name.
I used to believe that no one in the world could have the same name as someone else. When I still believed this, I had a friend named Michael Douglas, so every time the actor Michael Douglas was brought up, I thought they were talking about my friend and that, when not at school, he was a famous actor.

I was the oldest child and the only girl in a family with four children. We traveled across a certain road quite often with our parents. Along this road was a hand-painted sign that said "Fill Wanted", asking for people to dump unwanted rock and soil to fill in a low, wet area on someone's property. After passing the sign one day, my middle brother, who had recvently acheived the milestone of reading, asked, "WHO is Fill (Phil)???"

My aunt married a man named John who was of Italian decent. Somehow he got the nick name Dego and it stuck. Up until high school I thought Dego was Italian for John. I had been calling Italian people named John Dego for years thinking I was showing others how smart I was for knowing something from another language.
