I discovered masturbation long before I had heard the facts of life or even liked boys at all. I didn't associate with anything sexual, and I had no idea what it was. I assumed I must have discovered some special power and that I was the only person in the world who knew how to do it.

When I was little and visited my grandma, I always used to eat alot at the dinner table. She used to say with mock-surprise "where do you put it all?! the little men down there must be shovelling it away fast". i really used to believe that little men lived in my stomach and they had to shovel all my food out of my body!

My dad calls diarreah the "hershey squirts" so growing up I always thought hersheys chocolate gave people the runs. Looking back, I'm lucky I didn't think diarreah WAS hersheys chocolate.

One day my brother told me that we had blood inside of this and I was disgusted and didn't believe him! I asked my mom and she affirmed that this was true. I believed her then, but how could I explain why blood came out of cuts if it wasn't inside us?

I used to believe that food and drink went down two separate tubes, and when someone started coughing hysterically after swallowing, and someone said "it went down the wrong tube", I thought it literally meant that a drink accidentally went down the food tube, or visa versa

I remember seeing some PSAs on Nickelodean about aids and how nobody was in risk and the only way to get it was through sharing blood. I thought to myself "why would two people cut their fingertips and touch each other's fingertips together?" Now i know.

I used to think my poo-poo was play-doh, and my Mum used to go mad at me when I would bring the models I had made for her.

When I was very little, my mother would give my brother a bath and then give me a bath. I saw his penis and asked what it was. All i remembered was that it's the part he pees with. A couple years later, with a little sister, I tell my mother "Mommy! Did you know that the part i pee with is just like a little penis?" She agreed with me. Thanks, nurse mom.

I remember a lot of my dreams, very vividly. I had one re-occuring dream that I was outside in my driveway and went into my garage. I'd run out of the garage run in a circle and jump twice and when I jumped the third time I'd be flying.

When I woke up, I'd believe it, still do to some extent. My grade six teacher didn't help any when he taught us to fly with out minds. Relaxing ourselves to the point where your spirit or mind can fly around the city with amazingly precise detail.

When I went to sleep, I usually slept on my side, so I could hear my pulse. I always thought that it was some army marching, but I never figured out where it was. I think that I also thought it someone saying "Thank You" over and over agian.

I used to think that I had the power to tell the future, but it only happened very rarely in a dream. I was really excited about this new toy coming out when I went to bed. In my dream, I was at this dimly lit shop, very huge, very confusing, and although I never saw it, the walls must've changed positions at points. There was this tiny gap between shelves, so I squeezed in and there they were, the toys I mentioned earlier. I grabbed one and headed out, but could never find that gap again. When I woke up, I could've sworn that the toy I bought was in the computer room. What's scary, though, is when I later bought the exact toy in real life, the shape and pictures were exactly the same as in my dream.
