Haha, I was totally convinced that scotch would taste like butterscotch when I was a kid. Up until the day my uncle let me try some that is.

I thought I was an alien. I wasn't pretending.

I thought people could read my thoughts (I still do sort of... not sure why).

I thought that God looked like a Totoro.

This is a Totoro....

I thought brown cows made chocolate milk and black and white cows made white milk.
I thought this for an embarrassingly long time.

That is awesome. When I was really little, my cousin who's four years older than me told me that Master Splinter lived at the train yard.

Heh, yea around the same time that I thought you peed in a girl to get her pregnant, I thought my sack was where pee came from... and it always puzzled me why it didn't deflate after a piss.

I am back, and will most likely be permanently, however it's really going to depend on how busy my workload with school is next semester. This last one I got really bogged down with papers, one of them being a 45 page intro thesis thing for a 100-level class. I also did some work with a few of my CRJ instructors on top of my work-work stuff.

I thought gay men had sex by inserting a penis into a belly button.

I didn't believe that allergies of any kind were real (pets, pollen, food, bee stings, etc.) and I thought that anyone who claimed to have them were either faking it or suffering from something else they didn't know about.

I thought that you could clone a toad by mixing the blood (or other DNA) of a dead toad with a live one. When parents and teachers told me I couldn't do this I thought they were either lying to me or just didn't realize that it was possible. I don't know why I limited this to toads, but I did.

--When I was very young, I thought that anyone who used a wheelchair was just lazy or stupid, as I had yet to comprehend the idea of body parts being paralyzed. You think "move your legs" and your legs move, I didn't see how that could be so hard. I felt so horrible when I realized my ignorance.

--I didn't understand why my mother wanted me to tell the family "sorry" for their loss when we were at an older lady's funeral. I loudly said "Why?! I didn't kill her!"

I thought people had sex the same way two pairs of scissors meet when they're open.

1. I thought you got pregnant by kissing
2. I thought you were not supposed to kiss until you got married (cause you got pregnant)
3. Cooties were so real
4. If I curled in a ball and closed my eyes no one could see me
5. Under the table was an ingenious hiding place
6. If I put 100 band-aids on me I could never get sick
7. Pillow forts are the most practical places to live (I still sorta think that)
