This morning on my way to work I was listening to my favorite morning show. They were talking about "what you used to believe" when you were a kid. I chuckled when I heard one lady said that she thought if you touched an "outie" belly button that it would make the person's legs fall off and one guy said that he used to believe winter was caused by too many kids leaving the refrigerator door open.
The innocence of a child is precious - it is something that you will never get back. In a world full of harsh realities, it's nice to think back to a simpler time - when the biggest thing you worried about was what you were going to have for a snack. Here are a few things that I used to think way back when:
- New Jersey was a far off kingdom with kings and queens. When people used to ask me where on the entire earth I wanted to go, I would say in a voice of wonderment "New Jersey."
- If you picked your nose a bug in your head might chew your finger off (I think I got that from a Shel Silverstein poem!)
- Everyone's teeth & gums were removable. My gramma has dentures & I remember one time she took them out & showed them to me - I thought everyone's teeth did that & I couldn't understand why I couldn't take mine out too.
- My ultimate goal in life was to be a waitress at Pizza Hut.
Here are some ideas that I had - that I think were pretty common:
- If you ate a watermelon seed that you'd grow one in your belly.
- If you crossed your eyes then they'd stick like that!
- Chocolate milk came from brown cows.
What are some of the silly things that you believed as a kid?
