LOL - no I did not understand what you meant until Mara posted.
ETA: Until you mentioned it above, I had forgotten that you had said before you were married to a guy in the Navy. So few people now have any connection to the military, much less actual military service themselves, I tend to default to that. Which means I do not really discuss my service much IRL. When most peoples' ideas of military service come from Hollywood movies or TV sitcoms, well ... My apologies for explaining the obvious (to you) to you.
I had joked about never wearing a red shirt with my kids but they had never really watched the old Star Trek so they did not really understand what I meant. My son watched all the old episodes on Netflix this summer and finally got the joke.
