When I was in 1st grade, I heard adults say Google knew everything so I wondered why police didn't use it to find criminals' locations. I came up with my own conclusion that is because Google knows everything, Google will also tell the criminals that now the police already know where they are and they would run away. Since it's a waste of time, the two sides agree not to use it.

That if no eyes were laid upon me, including my own, my skin was green. Have no idea why I thought this. Maybe I'm one of this reptilianizers.

My mom once told me to pull my arms into my shirt so she could spin it around. I some how got it in my head that she spun my torso around and then I tried to do it for years. Good times.

I used to think that characters that die in movies actually get killed. This leads me to the only reasonable conclusion that they are all criminals given a last chance to leave their mark on the world... Rip imagination.

I thought that you had a set amount of blood. I didn't realize that the body makes more. So I freaked out at any cut because I thought I was losing something that I couldn't get back and that it would eventually lead to death if I lost enough through these tiny cuts.

As a child with nothing to do, my mother would give me a salt shaker and tell me if I could put salt on a bird's tail, I could catch it. I spent many days running around trying to put salt on a bird's tail and never succeeded.

You know how kids get balloons at birthday parties and stuff? I always took them home and they stuck around until they started deflating, at which point they would disappear. I thought that balloons disappeared once they started to deflate. Turns out, my mom would throw them away while I was out of the house because she knew I would be distressed by the loss of my balloon. I didn't realize the truth until I was like 9 or 10.

Little kid me thought that you had a random chance at shitting out a baby when you pooped. I checked every time. No one taught me anything, I guess you can say.

“Until very recently I had this conceptualization that penises were like vaginas but inside out, spongy, and self-lubricating, kind of like slugs. This meant that I was extra horrified when men left the bathroom without washing their hands, because I imagined them covered in some sort of penis juice.”

“I accidentally saw my dad’s penis when I was around 3 or 4, but then somehow changed the memory of this in my mind so that it had looked like a unicorn horn. I legit thought that penises looked like unicorn horns until the third grade.”
