whenever i would color a picture of a person i thought once i colored that part of them it came to life. So i always made sure to color their mouth and eyes first so they could see and breath.

When I was around the age of 2 I used to follow the repair man in the front yard. I would imitate his tool belt by putting sticks in my diaper walking around wherever he went.

when I was little I joined the brownies group and when I got there I looked around and asked the leader were are the brownies she said scattered through out the camp so I went in search of brownies I found about ten girls but no brownies so I went up to the leader and said I mean the chocolate kind she pointed to a tent with a lable that said African american children I was very confused about this until I found out there were no actual edible brownies its just what the camp was called.

I used to believe that if you color with a black crayon on a piece of paper over and over again that it would turn to gold.

When I was a kid I would always complain to my mom that I was bored - she was pretty good at coming up with fun things to do but if she couldn't think of anything she used to tell me to use my imagination. I had no idea what an imagination was - I don't know why I didn't ask. For some reason I came to believe that my imagination was the colours and lights I saw if I closed my eyes and pressed on my eyeballs. Needless to say, I didn't have a very good opinion of imagination and couldn't understand why my mom was suggesting this to me as a form of entertainment.

Pokemon was my first video Game, so I was into Role Playing Games at an early age. Well once, I was playing a game called "Lunar: Silver Star Story" and one of the weapons was called a Bastard. [I learned later that it's a type of two handed sword.] When I saw it, I flipped out that the game had cursing in it [it was an E-rated game].

When I was about four, my mom got invited over at my neighbours house for coffee, and I went with her. The neighbour had dozens of spanish dolls on display in her living room. I was fascinated by them and got really excited when my mom told me she collected them as a hobby. I decided to become a collector aswell, and immediately went outside on the street to spot some dolls lying on the ground! After looking very long and hard, I started wondering why I couldn't "collect" a single doll when the neighbour had so many, and figured there must be something wrong with me.

My grandpa told my mom and aunt that you could call fish when you were fishing. So they would call fishes all day long while he fished. If they did not catch any fish that day it was there fault.

When I was about 8 I joined the new brownies that had been set up. Me and a few other people were going to be the first people to get enrolled there. I told this to a friend who went to another brownies and had been there for a long time and she said that being enrolled was really scary. For a while after I, for some strange reason, imagined that being enrolled consisted of being rolled up into a rug, and then the BrownOwl shook it so you rolled out. As you rolled a long the floor to the other side of the hall you would shout your brownie promice in fear.
Luckily it was nothing like that.

my dad told me that ballet dancers had their toes removed and blocks of wood nailed to the ends of their feet so they could stay upright on the points of their feet

When I was fairly young, my sister and I were playing a game with a friend. We were pretending to be spies or something of the sort and were coming up with some pretty ingenious ways to eradicate evil-doers. One of these methods involved us skidding around the drive as we pretended to dice up the bad guys with our imaginary "roller blades" after incapacitating them.
As a six year old who only ever used traditional skates, I never questioned the logic behind why we all thought the wheels on roller "blades" were actual "blades", thus capable of being used in a lethal manner.

You know how construction paper packages have pictures of various animals or fruits, I suppose for art ideas, on the front of them? I saw grapes on the front of one and thought that meant the paper was flavored, for example, red was cherry and green was watermelon. Let's just say I learned the hard way...

When I was eleven years old, I used to play soccer in the park with my friends. I had a lot of fun with them. I used to do my homework in my father's office, because there was no one in my house.

When I was 6 I saw brownies at my school open day doing cheerleading. I didn't really fancy doing it myself but my mum said brownies are fun. I asked my Mum if I could be a brownie and she told me boys go to cubs. I wrote in my jotter at school "when I am 7 I would like to go to cubs" with a picture of me cheerleading at the bottom; neither my classmates nor my teacher could figure this out!

OK, bear with me on this one. You know how there's a step between Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts called Webelos? As a former scout I know that the name signifies that you have completed your Wolf, Bear and Lion badges, hence, "WeBeLos".

When growing up in Boston, my wife had two older brothers and a father who were very involved in scouting. She just assumed Webelos meant you were (best read with an Irish accent) "just a wee below a Boy Scout".

I thought that gymnastics was the practice of putting on bandaids. Funny thing was, I was actually in gymnastics and had no idea what it was called.

I am flexible and always have been. So when I was younger I would hear my aunt say "I love gymnastics." And she was in like a club. And I though she would say "Nasty's" So I thought that was the actualy word. So I would be flipping and doing backflips (with no experience i might add) And I just loved it. So at 4 or 5th grade I said "Here let me show you guys my nasty's! And everyone looks horrified and ran away. So I ran after them screaming. "Nasty's are fuN! Whats a matter!?"
