i came across this article where people wrote the funny assumptions they had as children and thought it might make a good topic here. This was my favorite from the article.
Besides 2 regular bathrooms, my family also had a water closet but nobody liked to use it because once you sat down on the toilet there was barely enough room to close the door. I genuinely believed that the toilet had feelings and felt lonely and inadequate because no one liked using it. So to make it feel better I made sure to use it once a day and usually sang to it while I sat there.
So i will kick it off with one of mine
In the 1st grade we would recite the Pledge of allegiance every morning, hands on heart and looking at the flag.
I Pledge Allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic
for which it stands,
one Nation under God,
indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.I thought the line “for which it stands” was “for witches stands” and thought of the wicked witch of the west from the Wizard of Oz. every morning, till my sister straightened me out
I still recite the Pledge of allegiance every now and then when I am volunteering
in our local school feels good to still do this…When I was small and came to a American school, I felt so strange my mother would fix my lunch her way , it was
not like typical Americans lunches where it was a apple sandwich and milk , My mom packed my lunch as if I was going away a week
she had added good food but she added a lot twinkies and sweets all the good thing kids like ….well out that I guess it was a good thing I had made so many friends out that
I was never alone at lunch timeThanks Mom I love you
I don't know until when I believed that, but as a kid I thought that when it stated on a chocolate paste pot “5000 mounatin bikes to win, just send “keyword” to this adress”, I would win them all.
And smart enough I would then think “yay! I'll keep one for me and the family, and sell the other 4996”When I was a little boy, I had to sneak into my brother's room and listen to his records secret. The music my parents wee listening to was really urrgh
My brother listened to english music and though I didn't understand a word, I loved it.
I grabbed this one special record, listened and was wooow!!! Great music and, I couldn't believe it, it was a german band (so I thought). I saw the names – Paul (german name lol), George (another german name), John and Ringo.Much later I found out, The Beatles are not a german band. But I didn't mind, I fell in love with their music
JC … your post is excellent!
So sweet that you sang to the toilet!
And “for witches stands” … is simply brilliant!
