As a child, I thought that the sky sometimes got dirty and needed cleaning (Incidentally, that was before I'd ever heard of air pollution.). I thought it because I'd heard of skyscrapers, and I envisioned that a skyscraper was a very long-handled blade for scraping the sky clean.

I used to believe that medicine could only make you better and wasnt harmful, which eventually lead to me drinking an entire bottle of medicine....

My mother didnt agree
