when i was a boy, there was a short period in my life when i thought the word "flirt" meant "have sex".

for real.

you can imagine the confusion this caused me.

especially on the day i was reading a "peanuts" collection in my elementary school library and came across a comic in which charlie brown's sister, sally, took snoopy to school for show and tell and then got angry at him for "flirting" with a girl in the front row of her class.


and then there was the time i came across snoopy explaining how he was through fighting the red baron and planned to spend his days sitting in french cafes and "flirting with waitresses".


good grief.
