the law

When i used to hear stories of rape on the news, I thought that people were being attacked by men with rakes.
Just makes sense, no?.. No I guess not.

I used to believe…

a cereal killer was someone that went around and stole peoples' cereal

In 6th grade, we took a survey about drugs and alcohol. They were questions like "Have you ever been to a party and drunk alcohol?" and answers were like "a, never; b, once; c; several times" etc. One of the questions was "Have you ever used LSD?" and, thinking LSD was "Legally Sold Drugs" I said "several times" and for the "if yes" question I put "once a week or more".

i thought that being a serial killer meant that you poisened cereal because i thought that it was always spelled cereal not serial

this is for a friend

when she was younger on the news she heard something about serial killer. being she was 4 or so she thought that it was cereal that ran around and killed people. For years she was scared that at night farm animal shaped cereal would come at night and kill her and her family. One nightmare she had was where her and her family were in a car and the farm animals were chassing after them and it was rainging milk. she was a bit of a disturded child if u can imagine.

Back when my family got our first VCR, I used to think the police or FBI could spy on everyone, everywhere, 24 hours a day, and even if you were just making a copy of a movie on video tape, they could immediately track you down and come after you.

When I was little I used to believe in the phone police. Whenever I would make a prank call I would at the end pretend to cry and say "I am sorry, I wont do it again theres no need for the police".

I used to believe that when someone sued someone else, they threw them in the sewer ^_^

I used to believe that you should never take candy from a stranger, because there could be fire inside the candy! Uh-oh!

When I was in kindergarten I saw the this is your brain on drugs commercial. (The one with egg in the frying pan) well, one morning my mom made me scrambled eggs for breakfast. I went to school and told my teacher that my mom had made me eat drugs for breakfast. Well, my mom got called to the school and to explain about the commercial and how I had eggs for breakfast.

once when i was about 5 i was in the car, and i was just sticking my tongue out (i dont know why) and we drove past an old lady watering her plants in her front garden who saw me sticking my tongue out. i cried and cried for hours that night, terrified that she was going to call the police and id get arrested or killed for it...

When I was little (about 8), I used to think that poppy seed muffins were actually drugs because my grandpa said if I had a muffin like that and took a drug test, I'd be positive. So naturally when I went through the D.A.R.E. program, I was anxious to share my knowledge. When the officer asked "Have you ever seen any drugs before besides alcohol?" to the class (this was when I was 10)I raised my hand. The officer naturally raised his eyebrows and said "Would you care to explain?" and I said
"If you go to a grocery store or bakery, you see those poppy seed muffins! They're out in the open where anyone could get at them! I thought drugs are dangerous and get you into trouble!" Most of my school mates laughed and the officer was too and explained to me that those muffins aren't actual drugs and won't really harm you. (But the drug test thing was true, he told me!)

I use to believe rape meant to attack or rob. So one day when my dad was going to the store late at night I told him "Be careful not to get raped!"

i used to believe that serial killers ripped up cerial boxes and threw them out


lol

When I was little I thought that getting rapped was playing music in a park.

I used to believe that people that are mascots or in big animal suits were serial killers
