Real life used to be black and white because pictures of my parents as kids were in black and white.

'Peace of mind' was 'Piece of mind'.

'All intents and purposes' was 'All intensive purposes'

'Case in point' was 'Case and point'.

Wearing tall t's in everyday life was okay.

I honestly can not remember a time I thought girls were gross. At first I had no opinion and then I started to think girls were good looking sometime in elementary school

When I was in elementary school I thought girls were fucking nasty and gross. Then in middle school I was interested but had no intents of doing anything. But now... In high school (this probably sounds funny to all the older kids on this site haha), the girls are fucking amazing. Everything is starting to come together.

Also I used to think that girls got pregnant on their own just randomly.

I never thought they were nasty, just had no opinion of them in regards to sexuality until I was a certain age. I did HATE them because they weren't boys and couldn't play playground games as well as me or my friends and they played with gross fucking dolls and were all girly n' shit. When I got to elementary school I started "liking" them.

I used to know that lice were little bugs in your hair,

But I thought cancer was just a worse version of lice.










I think it came from the fact that chemo makes your hair fall out

Middle school was by far the horniest I've ever been in my whole life. I wanted to fuck the shit out of everybody, girls in my class, high school girls on my bus, teachers, other kids' moms, lol.

Oh, and I used to think for some reason that if someone started draining the tub while I was still in it that I'd get sucked through the drain into the ocean. That shit freaked me out...

I was French. France won the World Cup when I was three years old and for some reason I decided I was destined to be the second coming of Zizou. I practiced the 'helicopter' maneuver like a mother fucker.

Also I used to say Iditarod as "idiot tard"

One of my deepest concerns as a kid was how I was supposed to reach the milk when I went to college. I always had to have my parents fill my cereal and whatnot and I didn't think I was going to be able to do it alone...haha

I remember thinking that too.

I also thought that there were little people inside the radio in the car playing the music.

My friends dad worked for UPS. I thought he was santa.

I thought because I built sandcastles in the sandbox that every house building and structure in the world was also built with sand.

I thought that you married your sister when you grew up. (fucked up I know)

I used to think that when you got married, you just started having kids and it would be a random number that you had no control over. I also thought that babies came out of belly buttons. I thought that shit was the worst word that anyone could ever say

I used be paranoid about random people coming into my room at night and shooting me in my sleep, but my sheets were bulletproof so to be safe I would completely cover my head with them. I also though these people would sneak in through the back door right outside my room, so my parents put a chintzy little chain lock on the door and I felt so much safer.

Probably why up until age 10 or 11 I slept with the lights in my room fully on. Looking back, that was such a waste of electricity lol.

I used to think that the cops were bad guys, and they were out to kill everyone. Like if you got pulled over they just shot you and that was it I almost had a panic attack when my dad got pulled over
