What a great thread!
One more I have time to share right now:
When my brother, sister, and I were kids we were watching out the windows of the car while driving through Cleveland on our way to see our grandparents.
My brother (the youngest) suddenly became VERY excited when he saw the Terminal Tower (at the time, the highest skyscraper in Cleveland).
He started shouting, "Dad! Look! Dad! Look!"
My dad said, "What son?"
My brother pointed and said, "Look!"
My dad replied, "Yes son. I see it!"
My brother then asked excitedly, "Is that the Entire State Building?!"
My dad began roaring in laughter and responded, "Yes son. The whole thing."
