So, a few weeks after graduating from kindergarden, we were in the car one day when my daughter tells me, "You know, Mom, I told them at school about your drinking and driving all the time". "WHAAA? I sputtered, putting down my trusty can of coca-cola. "Yes, she said. When the who school was in that assembly and the policeman came to talk to us. He told us how bad drinking and driving is. And I told them that my Mom drinks and drives ALL THE TIME. Of course she didn't mention it was coca-cola I was drinking, and didn't tell me she had made this very public announcement until the school year was over...

I use to believe that green eggs and ham were real. After reading the book in 3rd grade we had a Green eggs and ham party thing, where they gave us green eggs and ham, which were of course, just eggs with food coloring on them. Well, being that I thought they were some sort of strange egg I refused to eat them, saying I didn't like them. The teacher assumed I just didn't like eggs.

Years later my little brother and my cousin and I were sitting in my living room talking. My little brother was telling us about his green eggs and ham party, and my cousin and him started talking about how they couldn't make them right because they were only suppost to have the yolk be green. Obviously, I was extremely confused. So I told them I asked them about it. They laughed at me for about 15 minutes.

So a few days later I told my friend about it, and apparently she thought they were real too. So, we asked her dad while he was taking me to my house. He told us that they were real, but only if they are extremely old eggs, and if we see them we better not eat them.

I used to believe…

When I was little, I used to think that "burgerlers" were little cheeseburgers that came into your house through the cracks under the doors and steal all your stuff, which is why I told my mother that locking the doors wouldn't work, because there was still a little crack under the door.

I used to believe…

When I was younger, I thought that powdered doughnuts were called "Power" doughnuts and that if you ate enough, you would become a superhero.

Good thing I thought they tasted terrible.
