A childhood belief about tv

When I was really little (3 or 4) I was a big fan of YTV, where sometimes they would take in kids pictures and show them to everyone. I really wanted to draw a picture for them, so every day I colored my heart out, and every day I put the pictures in the gap between the TV and the counter. I thought that this was their post office box (as surely they couldn't go to our post office, being inside the tv and all). One day I found a stack of my pictures in my grampapa's cupboard. I was heartbroken. I thought YTV didn't like my pictures. My grampapa explained that YTV thought they were too good to stay in TV land, so they were sent back for real people to see. I believed him until I was 8.

~YTV is a childrens TV station based in Toronto.
