I used to think...

  • Vanilla was the absence of other flavors (chocolate, strawberry, etc.)-- not its own flavor.
  • The people laughing in the background on comedy shows were live viewers seeing the show on TV. I used to try to laugh extra loud in the TV speaker to see if I could hear myself.
  • Broccoli were mini trees.
  • The crescent moon was a toe nail.
  • All music on radio stations were performed live by the band in the studio
  • If I swallowed a seed, it would grow inside me.
  • In the alphabet, L-M-N-O-P is one letter, pronounced lemenopee or "animaaal pee".
  • Mirrors were windows to other realms/worlds.
  • There was a guy standing outside a gate in Heaven telling you if you could go in or not (And it took days because you had to wait in a long line).
  • Parents had eyes in the back of their heads.
  • Strip Malls were similar to strip clubs.
  • That kid in school got warts because he used to play with frogs that peed on his hand.
  • The wispy clouds that look sort of like a pathway were there for people who died and needed to walk into heaven.
  • The moon followed me.
  • My toys came alive at night when I slept (Because of Toy Story)
  • Spiders lived in the plughole in tub and that I could get sucked in if I didn't hurry and get out fast enough.
  • That Santa had invisible elfs that followed kids everywhere they went, that's how he knew everything.
  • Everytime a baby giggled a fairy was born, and every time he/she cried a fairy died.
  • My dad used to call the toothfairy and haggle with her a fair price for my tooth. I would always get scared when he would say "$10 dollars or nothing" and beg him to go lower.
  • That Barbie Dolls actually experienced life the way I experience life, but I controlled it. Similarly, I believed I was a Barbie Doll and some giant controlled the way I experienced life.
  • The numbers next to the Bible versus said what time the person said it at.
  • Pedestrians were a special race of people who if you hit them specifically you would get in trouble. I thought there was a country called pedestria.
