LOL!  Sort of similar thing happened when I was 
talking on the phone to my mother as she was 
opening a package of cels that had been sent home 
while I was at college.  She gets the package 
open, and I ask her to tell me what's inside and 
if it's alright (it was 2 cels, Aya and Youji 
from Weiss).  Her first response was "pointy 
people."  And then she said "One is 
a...uh...woman, smoking," at which point I had to 
inform her that Youji was a guy.

(Also, upon seeing my desktop wallpaper at the 
time, she wouldn't believe that Gackt was a guy.)
