Silly things you said, did, or thought as a kid

My first grade teacher sometimes said "if you don't think your brain will turn into a rock". I thought it was true. But I also didn't know what thinking meant. I also didn't quite know what a brain was (I thought it was the body).

I remember being really weirded out to discover that skeletons, which I loved, were actually INSIDE everyone.

I still like skeletons.

Speaking of skeletons...when I was little skeletons really scared me. So before I started school, one time I had seen a skeleton in a classroom in real life or maybe on TV or something, so then until I started school I thought that every single classroom had a skeleton in it, and I was scared to go to school because of that.

When I was in Grade 5, the nacho flavored Doritos could have very well have taken the place of cigarettes for me: I love the cool ranch flavor, but I hate the nacho flavor, yet that's what all the other kids ate with their lunches, so I, for some reason, started eating them with my lunch as well, because I thought they would make me look cool (which is why I say they were basically like cigarettes for me).

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster Goodfeather...

But seriously, my mother recalls one incident that occured when I was about two years old. One Saturday morning, my four year old cousin got the bright idea that we should make grilled cheese. As to be expected, we got more cheese on the kitchen floor than on the bread. My mother woke up after hearing all of the commotion. Patient as she was, she cleaned up the mess for us. As I was only two years old at the time, I have absolutely no recollection of this event.

As a kid I use to believe that Disneyland and Hollywood were places in the clouds just like Heaven is. I had a bus driver that told me she went to Disney World or Disneyland. Then I asked what cloud did she had to go on to get there. She answered and pointed at the biggest cloud I was seeing at the time. But I'm sure she was huh about that . lol

I thought if I went to the San Diego Zoo I could meet Rainbow Brite.

I used to eat paper, leaves, grass. I still do now.
I used to ask to many questions. still. do.now.
used to get excited when muppet related stuff came on....still do that.
get excited when I have too much candy...still....
I also used to think airheads actually made your head turn in to a baloon.

When I was little I thought that when someone's body is buried, it's just thrown in the ground and covered up. So when we were planting flowers on my grandfather's grave, I was always scared that we would accidentally dig up his nose. (Haven't figured out why it was only the nose that I was worried about, though)

The idea of being buried has always freaked me out, since I was younger I thought that there was a chance that someone could get buried and not actually be dead. Now I personally just think it's rather unsavory, though I know that puts me in a minority.
