I used to believe that when I turned 6 I would turn into a boy! My brother and sister had me convinced their baby pictures were each others. I think I was more nervous the day before my 6th birthday then any other day in my life.

At home when I was bored, my mother would tell me to go outside and lay on the ground because I might be able to see Pegasus, the mythological Greek flying horse. So I'd lay out in the yard all day looking up at the sky for Pegasus and being very quiet so not to scare him away. I just knew he'd fly by at any time.

I believed that the name on a funeral home was for your family. Thus, if it was Jenkins' funeral home, all the Jenkins had to be buried there. It used to upset me thinking how far some people had to travel to get to their family's funeral home.

Gnomes lived under my bed and if I let my arm dangle off the bed while I was sleeping, they'd kidnap me and make me their queen. You know. In accordance with gnome monarchical tradition.

I thought that there were little ant people in my stomach who lived a in a little hut and lived in family units. They dressed like peasants. Their job was to take the food I ate for themselves and make poop to push outside my body. When my cousin told me that if I ate seeds the fruit would grow inside of me, I purposely started eating watermelon seeds to reward the ant people for their hard work.
