ITT: Things you read as a kid that confused the fuck out of you for a long time

as well read kids shit sometimes gets lost in translation, especially if you're reading by yourself and have to figure half the shit out by yourself.

1: When I was in 1st grade, I thought a lowercase g (the one that looks like an 8) was a different letter that nobody had told me about.
2: I had no idea what a coon was. In wilderness stories, they always talked about skinning coons and stripped fur, but I knew that coons were a type of bird. nobody fucking explained that shit to me either.

In Lord of the Flies there was something about one group having sticks that were sharpened at both ends and it was presented as something really horrifying. I had no clue what that meant. Like could they stab two people at once or something?
Honestly I’m not sure I get it now either.
