<p>lol I guess if you go far enough back, but I was like thinking to myself “Michael Jackson is Andrew Jackson’s Great great great Grandson”</p>
<p>that english was the first language and all the other languages had evolved from it.</p>
<p>that i would get accepted to hogwarts [around age 5] or find out i had superpowers or something.</p>
<p>CelaPlusAimaple, the fact that a little kid even knew who Andrew Jackson was is actually impressive!</p>
<p>lol he is on the $20 bill :P</p>
<p>I pretty much made up so much fake stuff based on my random childhood assumptions and put them in essays and whatnot</p>
<p>Thought of some.
I thought that if you use a pump on a crack in the ground it would inflate the earth</p>
<p>Also, I thought that it was possible that when I wasn’t looking, people around me turned into aliens.</p>
<p>Acutally, that still is possible. Maybe I’m an experiment or something living in their virtual reality show, like the Truman Show.</p>
<p>For some reason i thought the balrog from lord of the rings could come out of the toilet after i flushed it [because of the sound], so i made a point of getting out of the bathroom as quickly as possible. i was 5.</p>
<p>oh, and when i was 4, someone [i think my pre-k teacher] at my catholic preschool told me that my shoulder blades were angel wings and when i died they’d pop out and i’d go to heaven and be an angel. i believed that until i was like 7.</p>
<p>That little squirrels wore little headsets and worked inside the traffic lights to control traffic … Crazy, I know. I was little, okay? :P</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I appreciate the Calvin and Hobbes reference!</p>
<p>When I was little, I used to think that at night, monsters came out and that I could deter them from entering the house by drinking milk.</p>
<p>I also thought that “brother” mean little sibling and “sister” mean older sibling, so I always referred to myself as my sister’s brother.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s really cute!!</p>
<p>Oh yeah when I was like 5 I thought high school was for guys and college was for girls, so I was like “I don’t want to go to college!!!”</p>
<p>oh, and that when my foot or something else fell asleep, there were invisible bees or fire ants stinging it [i was once in the shopping cart at the grocery store with my mom when i was 4 and kept taking my shoe of of my foot, which had fallen asleep, because i was trying to “surprise” the ants to make them go away]</p>
<p>That the Earth was a harmonious oasis of peace and fun.</p>
<p>I thought the solar system and galaxy were the same when I was like 4 or 5.</p>
<p>i thought pluto was a planet until i was like 11… oh wait, it was.</p>
<p>I thought that kings and queens didn’t exist and that they were myths just like Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy (4 or 5 yrs old)… I didn’t believe in anything haha.</p>
<p>I believed in Santa Claus for awhile. Then I found out the truth. After that, anything remotely mythical I considered a hoax.</p>
<p>I used to think:</p>
<p>-Earthquakes came from asteroids hitting the earth
-The Nutcracker was the only ballet in existence, so I wanted to be a ballerina because I assumed I’d only have to work during christmastime
-My brother had magical powers
-God existed
-My MIT grad uncle was the smartest person alive and knew everything. Literally everything.
-MIT stood for Mississippi Institute of Technology. Then for a while I thought it was Minnesota.
-Babies came out of a woman’s belly button
-If I smelled nail polish remover, it would instantly kill ALL my brain cells and I would no longer be able to function.</p>
<p>I made a mistake on my homework once in kindergarten. I had to color an oval red, but I accidentally took the red-orange crayon or whatever coloring thing it was. I thought I could cover up the mistake with a brown expo marker and then get a dryboard eraser to erase the expo, and it would be gone!</p>
<p>
…that mythical beings like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, God, etc. were real.</p>
<p>I found out about Santa Claus when I came downstairs in the middle of the night to get a drink and I caught my dad eating “Santa’s cookies”</p>
<p>I also used to think if I got too close to a gutter it’d suck me in, and I’d have to live down there.</p>
<p>Oh, I thought that mummies were a myth.</p>
