That awkward moment when you are singing along to your favorite song when someone points out those are NOT the lyrics...
For example - When I was in 7th grade I had that very thing happened to me.
It's kind of embarrassing when you are 14 and loudly, and with some serious passion, singing along to Journey's "Oh Sherry" but instead of "Oh Sherry, our love holds on, holds on... '
"Oh Sherry, our love, CLOTHES ON, CLOTHES ON!"
I thought it was about being modest. Of course I did... the very idea that this girl Sherry was naked, and some guy was pleading with her to clothe herself.... Shocking I tell you! Shocking! Then again, I was raised in an LDS family where I had a Barbie doll but was not allowed to have a Ken. The theory was that Ken could possibly tempt poor Barbie to being improper... I begged and pleaded and finally, my parents gave in. For Christmas that year Barbie got a boyfriend. No Ken... I got Donny Osmond doll. Apparently, Donny was incapable to messing around and caving into temptation.
Thank you LDS childhood.
