Funny Things...

[Ash Wednesday]

So this evening I was eating some seedless watermelon, and I remembered something funny my brother once said when we were kids. He said that if you eat watermelon seeds, a watermelon plant would sprout out of your butt.

I believed him. After that, I was terrified of eating the seeds of a watermelon.

What funny things did you believe when you were a kid?

We thought that the seeds would grow in your belly and you'd walk around looking like a pregnant woman. lol

I thought my aunt was my grandma.

*** no - seriously ***











When I was in elementary school, I used to think that a girl got pregnant if a boy peed on her hiney (thanks for the 'talk' mom!) so it made me afraid to make the pool water warm anymore....


I DID warn ya!

I believed that if you put on a cape you could fly. I think.

haha me and my brother used to take plastic shopping bags and hold them up over our heads and jump off the couch to see if they worked as parachutes.


needless to say, they didn't.

I used to believe that if I closed my eyes I was invisible .... because I could not see anyone, how could they see me????

I knew a girl who convinced me that if you used someone else's pen your handwriting changed to be like theirs.

Wow...ehem... *clears throat*

Now I no longer feel like some of my childhood thoughts on the matter were all that weird.

I convinced a kid in first grade that if we ran and stretched out our arms and maybe flapped them a little, we could fly.

I decided that the way Santa got around the world in one night was the time zones... I mean, how could it work any other way?

At one point, I thought our lives could be like musicals, where the main characters are singing thier songs and everyone around them is walking around and saying hi like nothing's happening... so I walked around the playground and sang. I think everyone ignored me, which only proved my thoughts.

um... If I think of any more, I'll put them here.

When I was little, my parents stayed up one Christmas Eve putting together our PowerWheels Fire Engine. I woke up at about 5:30 (typical for me before my college days) and went to go peek at the presents. When I saw a huge lump with a blanket over it in the kitchen, I pulled it up and looked underneath. I could hardly believe my eyes! I ran straight up to my parents' bedroom and woke them up: "momdadmomdadwegotapowerwheels! We got a power wheels!"

"Huh?" My mom said, exhausted.

"We got a powerwheels! Santa brought a powerwheels!"

"Well...how do you know that?" Asked my dad.

I knew I was in trouble. I thought for a second...oh, there it was: "I...I...used my x-ray vision!"

I was never a believer, I was a teller....

I was a believer, then a skeptic, but I refused to accept it until I was 13. I figured it was [i]possible[/i] that Santa just brainwashed my parents into thinking they'd bought me presents.
