the law

When I was 14 my chemistry teacher asked our class what THC was. I raised my hand and almost fell out of my seat because I thought I knew the answer. I said "Isn't it used in hairspray?" The whole class laughed and he said "Dear you've got yourself some good hairspray!"

I used to only sleep with this one red blanket because I thought if someone broke into our house and tried to kill us, they would think I was already dead and covered in blood. One time my parents sneaked into my room to see if I was sleeping and I thought they wee killers. I screamed "Im dead leave me alone". They still talk about it.

I used to think that a serial killer was someone who would smash up serial

when i was in about pre-school,my dad used to take me to jury duty (or at least i think it was jury duty)with him after pre-school because there was no one to watch me. well one time i remeber i was sitting on a hard wooden bench and looking up at the terrifying judge. my dad's approach to make sure i was quiet was to tell me that if i had talked at all,that judge would throw me in jail. true to that approach,i hadnt said a word...

When I was young I once read statistics about rape in a magazine, and didn't know what the word meant. When I asked my dad, he said it was "when a man attacks a woman." It made sense to me that this was a worse crime than simple assault, and deserved a separate name.

In school they taught my newphew that alcohol is a drug. So one day he annouced to his teacher that his Daddy does drugs. My SIL was mortified!

when i use to hear the song "Bad Boys" from the cops theme i use to get scared because i thought bad people were gonna come and get me

I was in a grocery store when i saw a lady 'steal' a grape. i was in a policeman stage that every boy goes through and i had these little plastic handcuffs. I took them and i said 'lady, you're under arrest.' She started to quickly walk away and i started screaming, 'theif!' the whole store was looking at her and me. In the car my mom took away my handcuffs and told me that i should never do that again. I was very upset that i couldn't save the world.

I once had seen that famous anti-drug commercial with the eggs.The women was throwing it around and said what would "this is your friends,mind,etc." i thought "OMG!this is going to happen to me!"I was so worried. i misunderstood the commercial,and thought thats what would happen when you got older.Never occured to me for a longgggg time that it was about drugs.

I was always a good little kid. My reasoning was, "What's the worst that they can do to you if you're bad?" Well, you can get detention, then be suspended, then they can arrest you and put you in jail and then put you on trial and if you were still bad, they could kill you. I didn't want to die because I still wanted a pony.

When I was little I asked my dad how police knew when people were speeding. He told me they where just always around watching. So for the longest time I used to beleive there where people living in the trees and when we were driving I used to always stare out the window thinking I would see somebody living in one.

I used to believe that if i lied or was naughty or whatever, that the police would come and put me in those huge things which mix up concrete.... and i really believed that and hardly told a lie since then ;)

i used to belive that all police men could see throgh your car and see if you had your seatbelt on (still i put my seatbelt on)so if i forgot when i was young i'd scream and put it on

When I was little, I believed that serial killers were people who would hide in your cereal box, and when you would pour out the cereal, the cereal killer would fall out and kill you. I didn't eat cereal for a year after that...

A few people have said they caught their parents smoking pot but they were a "different kind of cigarette". Well, when I was 5-6, my dad smoked pot, and of course, I thought it was legal, it was just green. I also vaguely remember him saying you could feed it to cows, (maybe I inhaled too much in his small apartment) and so when I was in kindergarten summer school (didn't need it) we were studying farms, and we were gonna have show-n-tell, and I asked my dad if I could bring some....I couldn't though.

When I was little, I heard on the news something about a serial killer. I asked my step dad what a serial killer was and he said that they were people who killed people and put the bodies in cereal boxes, I beieved it too!
