I have a very good memory.
I hardly ever put things that weren't supposed to be eaten in my mouth. My mum agrees with this. But once i ate some kind of 'succulent' plant, and threw up for three days straight. I remember still why i did it, and only when i told my mum why i did it about 4 years ago (when i was 14) did i realise how weird my reason was. I was pretending these round leaves were money.

i used to believe that an earthquakes' epicentre was where traumatised earthquake victims went after they had suffered an "eppy".
Once when I was a kid, I planted some apple seeds, hoping to grow apples. I didn't know then that apples grow on trees. What I sort of expected to come up from each seed was a vertical stem about one or two feet high, topped off by a single apple. I envisioned no leaves on such a plant. Once it produced its single apple on top, it was finished growing and nothing more would ever become of that plant, so I thought.
As a child I believed that the dark-colored "night clouds" that are visible after sunset are made of special dark-blue water vapor. At some point in my adult life I realized that this belief had persisted in my mind uncorrected!
I used to believe that the world was actually a snowglobe and when it snowed, that meant God was shaking us up!
I found a root sticking out of the ground one day and I thought it was a dinosaur bone. I would spend hours trying to dig it up everyday, while dreaming of how famous I would be.

That an undertow was a giant toe under the water that grabbed people and pulled them under.
I used to believe that it couldn't possibly rain until there was no blue left showing in the sky. I was very surprised by my first sun-shower, and I'm pretty sure it happened while I was in high school!
One day we were driving and we smelled something aweful. My parents told me it was a "chicken plant." I missunderstood and whenever something stunk...I figured a "chicken plant" was growing near. I found out about 4yrs. later that it was a chicken plant where they proscess chickens. I was so embarrassed. I had told all of my friends about the stinky "chicken plant!"

I used to beleive that earthquakes were monsters like spiders who lived under the ground and the hills were the bends in their legs
When travelling in a car in the rain I used to hear the rain stop for about 1/2 a second and then start again. My mum told me that this was because there were holes in the clouds. I realised when I got older that it was just the car going under bridges!
When I was about four I thought that when it would rain God was taking a shower, or when I heard thunder I always thought God was bowling!

Me and a friend were caught out in a thunder storm once, i sat and told her that it was zeus having a battle with another god on metal chariots, and everytime there was a flash of lightining and a rumble, it was the chariots colliding and one of them falling over.
