My friend Nora and I used to actually believe that we were "Cog People", which we thought up. They were a mix of cats and dogs and posessed powers of those animals. We also believe that we could change it from being cats and dogs to any two animals and we tried so hard to figure out what combination we were.
We also believed that once a year on June 4th our skin would begin to peel off because, as well as being Cog people, we were reptillian aliens and our parents were just there to diguise our REAL ALIEN parents. We also thought that our REAL ALIEN parents had been the same parents (thus we were sisters) and the photographs we had of our births were fake.
We also thought there was this invisible purple goo that would hunt us down during recess becasuse we knew our secret. We believed that if we stodd on a certain sqare of the rubber mat of our play structure, it couldn't hurt us. We also thought that we attracted animals from our real planet. Once we found a wasp on the wall of the school and we were certain that we had discovered a new species of alien ants.
5th graders do the dumbest things, eh?
