some things you thought

when you were a kid what were some of the foolish things you thought were true. me i though hawaie was off the coast of california. i thought chukie the doll from childsplay was real

if you ate apple pips you would grow a tree in your tummy

My dad told me about a young woman who swallowed a little pink octopus egg at the beach and it hatched inside her. I didn't go in the ocean for years. Thanks, dad.

I thought there was an actual guy who turned off the light in the fridge, like in the cartoons and wondered, who paid him?

I thought for years that if you didn't hold your breath going past a cemetery, Dracula would come and kill you while you slept.

That was a fatherism.

I also came up with a theory that my elementary school lunch ladies were actually aliens whose heads would explode when the sound level got too loud, sort of like the aliens in Mars Attacks. It was my only explanation for why they would yell at us all the time.

Sometimes I wondered if it was possible to grab the little people and figures out of the television screen, like in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Some things I thought were things, I thought, worth thinking.
Thinking back the things I thought weren't things but thoughts.
Thoughts of things, as most things, are thoughts not things.
To think, the things I thought...

I'm sorry, that's what popped in my head when I saw the title of this thread.
