No, I never went to confession until high school when my family started going to an Episcopal church.

I can see the possibility of seeing confession on TV or something, or hearing someone talking about it, and making that association, though, even if I'd never personally had the experience.

I had that thought when I was a kid, how was I to know that?

edit: Before this turns into the Scopes Trial... I remember as a kid when people talked about evolution it was almost always said that man evolved from monkeys they never mentioned a specific species that was common to both humans, monkeys and apes etc. (interestingly enough even you said "common ancestor" and didn't mention a specific species). Why do people do this? Some of these species lived millions and millions of years ago. Maybe it's for a lack of a better word.

Not sure if you're joking or not, but here's a diagram on the off chance that you aren't:

I once thought that if I inserted my guitar into my 8-Track player, I'd be a better guitar player. It didn't fit, but man that was some good Peyote.

I used to be confused by the concept of people driving on the left side of the road in other countries because if they all drove on the left side and kept the right side empty, how was it that they didn't crash?

It's not so much that it hurts, but it is uncomfortable. I could never do it for more than a few seconds. And I always thought it tasted like copper.
