When I was younger (about 6) I remember hearing reference to a serial killer on the evening news, and I thought that it meant that anyone who ate cereal after dark would be attacked by the "cereal killer". So for years I always rushed to eat my cereal (favorite food at the time) before nighttime. It wasn't until we were studying homophones in school that i recognized the difference!

I used to believe that as soon as someone got hurt doing something, the gubment made up a law to prevent it from happening again.

When I was little I used to throw fits in Wal-Mart if I didn't get what I wanted and my mom told me that the Wal-Mart police would take me away if I didnt stop and from then on I was always good in Wal-Mart until I realized there were no Wal-Mart police around age 7

When I was little I used to believe that I was smarter than police because i thought that you could give a criminal a lie detector test and then you would know if they were the criminals or not I thought i was gona go up to police one day and tell them about lie detector tests and they would pay me and i`d become famous later i found out how these tests work and theyre not just a red button lighting up when you lie and a green one lighting up when you tell the truth

I thought that to be king or queen or president all you had to do was fill out a job application. Then at school I actually learned about the government system and I was like what the heck my way is better.

When I was younger my sister told me that unmarked trucks patrolled neighborhoods and nabbed kids to bring them to juvie like the dog catcher. She then explained that juvie is a place where I would be suction cupped to the wall. Every time I saw one afte that I would whisper "there's the juvie truck". That wenton until I was about 7.
