Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben were married.

Tap water from the bathroom faucet tasted better than water from the kitchen faucet.




You?

    I always thought water from the hose was great and a privilege to drink from when I was younger.

    I believed that my Grandmother could see through brick walls. Let me explain. I once found a knife in the parking lot behind out house and was going to hide it from my parents who did not approve. Think was around 6 or 7 at the time. My grandmother was visiting and told me straight up: Give me the knife. Funny thing was their are no windows or doors through which see could have seen the parking lot. So I believed that somehow, grandmothers have x-ray vision. I know better now:)

    i always thought running through sprinklers was better than my cousin's blow up pool.

    that my sister's mom's treadmill would eat me if i got on it.

    that if i let my feet hang off the bed in the middle of the night a giant saw blade would show up and trim everything hanging off my bed.

    wow i was a morbid kid!

    ...that I could get away with eating carrots out of my grandpa's garden by simply replacing the tops in the ground. And I did... for a short while.

    That when I had an ear ache if i laid on that ear it would fall out.

    ... I had a lot of ear ache as a kid.


    And that if I put my feet to the end of the bed I would disappear. Slept in the fetal position when I was a kid.

    She totally could see through brick walls! How cool, you Grandmother was a super hero!!! Do you have any super powers?

    I thought my friends grandma was a witch and I would own a monkey when I grew up (I always wanted a monkey. I asked for one every Christmas and birthday until the age of twelve when I gave up. My Mom always said I could get one when I grew up. So why don't I have one? Cause now I'm grown up and don't want one any more- they are mean, can break your fingers cause their so strong and throw poop...)

    that everyone's toilets overflowed when the yard was flooded (we lived in the country and had a septic tank)

    that the crawdad's we caught would really fight to the death in the little corrals we built

    that everyone had chickens in the back yard and got their eggs from the coop - the first time I saw eggs in the store, I was so confused

    that if I pumped my legs enough on the swing, I could go all the way around

    I thought there was a guy living under my bed with freakishly long arms and legs named "Wacky", and if one of my limbs dangled over the edge he would grab me take me to who knows where.

    Needless to say, I wet the bed until I was seven...

    When my kids were little they thought that since moths would eat clothes, they could end up naked on the sidewalk if a moth ever landed on them.

    That if you touched the leaves of an african violet plant they would die. My mom had several and I liked to touch them since they were fuzzy and soft so she told me that to stop me. Sadly I'll admit I didn't realize it wasn't true until I was much older:blushing:

    My brother thought that if he jumped out the window with a blanket he could use it as a prachute....he broke his arm.
