BBC computers and animals that can't turn round
OK, to be fair this was back in the day (circa 1989) when computers in schools were a relative novelty and myself being a wee sprog of five was not entirely used to the field referred to as "technology". This resulted in my uttering of the followng striking display of childish ignorance.

One happy day at school I was typing something with a friend (can't remember what, but that doesn't matter) and she hit the delete key. Cue my amazement when the letter on the screen was "rubbed out". We typed something again. And rubbed it out again. WOW, we thought, this is amazing. Cue further amazement when we printed our work and took it to the teachers and I proudly stated, "It's really REALLY clever how you can't see the rubbing out marks on the screen AND it doesn't rip the paper when you print out like it does in your book!". To be fair the teacher didn't laugh, just smiled knowingly.

In the same year at school I also uttered the following gem that my mother still laughs at me for until this day. We were doing work on animals and also some work on day and night. So the teacher asked if anybody knew what a nocturnal animal was.

"Wow," thought my tiny five year old self, "I KNOW this one. I can actually answer a question!" My hand shot up, and I proudly noticed I was the only one in the room who knew the answer. Glory awaited me (or so I thought). Until my mouth opened and I uttered the following gem loudly and clearly in my best "impress the teacher voice" (yes, even back then I was a little bit geeky).

"An animal that can't turn round."
