Let's put it this way:

When I was 8, I saw an egret in Pennsylvania. It's a type of bird, if you're not sure what that is. I said it was a flamingo, because I didn't know what it was called. Everyone laughed at me and teased me so hard, I maintained that since I was the only who had seen it (which is true), that they had no way of knowing, and it was a flamingo.

Nearly 14 goddamn years later, any time anyone brings up that story, I still say it was a flamingo.
