Looking back, i thought some weird things when I was a kid

There was a restaurant that my family used to frequent, and I always loved their cheeseburger. I was like 7 years old and my Dad would order it for me and when they asked how I wanted it done, he would tell them "medium". For some reason, I assumed that this meant the size of the burger, so when this place would bring out this huge cheeseburger that I could only eat half, I assumed they had a "large" that was giant. I found out this was not the case when I was around 9 and started ordering my own stuff and thought I could handle a "large" and replied "large" to the waiter asking how I wanted the burger done. > . <

This one I don't recall, but apparently from my parents and relatives, I used to despise spaghetti with a passion, because I was convinced that it was "bloody worms". And apparently I had thrown spaghetti at the ceiling in terror one day and it left a spaghetti stain on the ceiling that never fully came off. Yes, right above me right now is this odd red-ish splotch on the ceiling. The heck....

I used to believe that if someone fell off a cliff/ jumped off a building and they hit the ground, they would bounce, and the reason they would die is cause the air would get knocked out of them for too long and they wouldn't be able to breather. I never imagine it was possible that the human body would just kind of GLEGH.

We live near SF Chinatown, and I used to think that you could not use american money to buy things there because everyone spoke chinese. I would watch my mom pay for stuff in american money and think the store owners would be annoyed because they would have to go somewhere to convert the currency.

My parents used to joke with me that meatballs grew on trees. I genuinely believed them and asked for a "meatball tree" one christmas. They let me believe this for over a year.... : \ .

I used to think cooked fish would come back to life if I put them in water, so I once took the cod my Dad had made for dinner and waited till nobody was looking and threw it into the bath-tub and turned on the water. I realized something went wrong when the fish started to dissolve apart in the tub and I started crying. My parents hurried to see what was wrong and were quite surprised to find a crying child, running water in the bathtub, and chunks of fish with soy sauce and seasoning floating around within.

I used to think you lived as long as some air supply that you had internally, and each time you breathed, you were taking away life. So I used to hold my breath at random times thinking it was saving my life, and once I had gotten a basketball pump and inhaled a ton of air thinking I was adding life to myself.

I thought anybody driving a black colored car was a "bad guy" so I got scared when the family was out and we had to walk by a black car. And I was very torn when my uncle purchased a black acura as there was a conflict in my mind of "black car/bad guy", and Uncle/good guy"

I thought it was impossible for a woman to be mean or do anything wrong, only guys could do something wrong or mean. And if a woman tried to do something bad, they would turn into guys and there would be an earthquake ( < I was 4 ok...)


Yeah, thats all for now.
