Mine is a Romanian song but for some reason I remembered it tonight.

When I was little my dad would play a song called "Sfarsitul nu-i aici" (The end is not here) which I would hear as "Sfarsitul lui arici" (The death of the hedgehog)

I would burst in tears because he would play it so frequently and I had no idea what drove him to be so cruel with his choice of songs about hedgehog deaths. Took my dad years to realize I was listening to really different lyrics.

Too cute! It must have been a great relief to find out that hedgehog is still alive and your dad is not that sadistic. Is your trauma healed?

Well, it was...until my mind drifting to googling other random stuff but connected to misunderstanding.

Then I found this list...read #1...and now I am scarred for life. Never realized it up til now.

I love my innocence and childlike spirit and it seems the world is trying to snuff it out.
