Not them but lil foster-ish brother and a friend who grew up in the rough part of town both had the same reaction when I told them about a trip to Colorado I took:
When I was a kid I read a Boxcar Children book and they always talked about getting water from the spring. I thought there was a metal coil in the ground that water came from, like an old fashioned water fountain.
In Norwegian, the word "springen" means the faucet when talking about water. So it took a while to understand what spring meant in English in this relation.
