Top Ten Things I Believed Were True (As A Kid)
1- Imaginary Friends existed but were invisible to people other than the “owner” of the imaginary friend. i always wondered why mine never showed up becuase i never had a friend only i could see. Everytime i’d talk to a girl from school, i’d wish nobody else saw her and that we were MEANT TO BE OWNER AND IMAGINARY FRIEND, then somebody would come and talk to her and i’d be thinking “DAMN!”.
2- Hair would grow the more you pulled it up. i have pics of me as a kid with my hair pulled up so tight into ponytails, my eyebrows would reach the top of my head. so.. uhm, yeah… *keeps cutting up the pictures*
3- I actually believed what my mom would say that when you’d bite your nails, a hand would grow inside your tummy and then burst through like that thing from the Alien movies. but i still bite my nails.
4- Oh, and when i’d swallow a watermelon seed by accident!!! i’d have a semi-panic attack because i thought a real watermelon would grow in my tummy and then burst my insides open hahahaha… ugly image, i know.
5- I thought barbies were real WAAAY before Toy Story! always thought they stole the idea from me lol the idea was way over-due…
of course, the cars, horses, houses and Barbies Friends and Ken were NEVER real. Barbies were the only ones who’d come back to life as soon as i left the room…
6- I thought people had kids by cutting the mom’s belly open. and it’d ALWAYS happen that way. coming out of a hole never occured to me LOL..
7- The Dictionary was a real book to me. i could never finish it but it was a really good reference LOL
8- Phone numbers were given out according to when you were born. so if your number was 5555666, then you were born before whoever has the phone number 5555667. (don’t ask.. i was just crazy and had a HUGE imagination)
9- The “Emergency Flasher” in the car was something i wasn’t allowed to touch as a kid.. as a warning (not really), they (my parents) would tell me that if i hit the button, the car would fly… why did they think that that made the big red emergency flash button LESS tempting?!
10- Teachers LIVED in school.. if you saw your teacher at Burger King with her kids, it was EXTREMELY wierd! why? cos you’re too used to seeing her at school and that’s where she should STAY! Teachers were NOT humans, they did not have a social life!
(Quote from my brother: “what if it was a movie? imagine: “In A World Where Humans And Teachers Live Together… Arnold Shwartzeneger and Van Damme, for the first time, IN: I Know What You Did Last Semester!!!”)
