Funny story
I had to share this. My youngest daughter (40 yrs old) sometimes tells me things that have happened to her. Yesterday we were talking about words, their meaning, etc. She finally told me that in her first year of college the teacher told the class to write a piece on euthenasia. She said she thought and thought about it and finally wrote an article on Japanese teenagers. Now she knew what euthenasia was but heard it as Youth in Asia. Now she is smart as all get out, absolutely beautiful, fun to be around, everyone loves her but she had a moment that all people have occasionally and it cracked me up. And she can laugh at herself. She makes life for me so much better than it is.

1. lol, that reminds me of a similar story from my college days
we were in a class that was discussing guerrilla warfare in Africa. They were talking about guerrilla attacs on the cities. So after 20 minutes one of the girls raises her hand and asks "couldn't they just shoot the gorillas?"

PS- Your daughter sounds like a great person, congrats

2. I told a friend that I was working with four- and five-year-olds for a summer camp.
He said, "Really? What country are they from?"
