Football games, all school sports, really; hanging with friends; parties

Too many good ones to name but I'll give one specific time:

Was hanging with three friends, we were going to visit one of the friend's sister at college about 45 minutes away.

On the way back, we were driving on this isolated road near a river.

An opossum darted across the road and one of the friend's, who was smart book-wise but not-so-smart with common sense goes:

"OMG, an armadillo!"

Now, we live in CT. Armadillos don't live in CT!

So from that day on, we called opossums armadillos!
