the law

when i was in preschool, one of my friends in the class told me that a murderer lived next door to the school house. i was scared for weeks to go outside and look over the fence at that house. but then my dad told me that he knew the guy that lived in the house and that he wasnt a murderer.

My mom used to tell me that the police hid everywhere and we had to becareful while driving. So my sister and i would look out the windows and behind trees and around signs to see if we could find any police men.. it kept us occipied

when i was little my family lived on top of a conveinience store that my dad owned and once i forgot my precious belongings, a poly pocket, a shiny penny, and a pencil that had my name on it. It was 12.00 and my dad had already shut everything so i went down and the alarm went off and i thought the police was going to arrest me and i thought the slammer was a place were you only eat ketchup.

When i was little a older friend (about 10 i was 4 or 5) told me if the cops saw you doing ANYTHING other then what was annouced that week that you would be arrested. We lived in a ghetto neighborhood so cops were always around. One time she told me to runin my room and press my butt against the window until they passed. Another time she told me to stand on my hands with my dress down.

I used to think that LSD was a form of marijuana.

In the fourth grade (I was in a 7th day adventist school) our whole class took a survey about drugs. One of the questions were, "Have you ever smoked pot?" Well I thought smoking pot was to boil water in a pot and breathe in the steam. So I put yes. Boy was I so embaressed after learning what pot really was...

i used to believe that the police were called the fuss cuz of that song a ha wuts that fuss everybody move 2 the back of teh bus

when i was about four i stole a pack of gum from the store and later my mom found out how i got the gum. she told me i had to go back, give the gum back, and apologize. i told her i wouldnt go back untill she told me if i didnt i would go to baby jail, so until i was seven i never did anything bad because i didnt want to go to baby jail.

I used to believe that when the judge sentenced a criminal to an impossibly long sentence (like 100+ years) that they kept his body in prison after he died until it was there for the whole sentence.

My mother worked in a drug rehab facility when I was young. I fully believed that instead of marischino cherries, the name was marijuana cherries and no one bothered to correct me until much later in life because my parents thought it was hilarious.

when my sister was 4 or 5, i told her that there was a girl on the loose who would come into her window at night and steal her toys.

I yoused to think that drugs was drums

when i was litte, like 7 or so, i would always put my money away in a certain way, i would but the higher bills on the very bottom then the lowers bills then i'd cover it with quarters and then dimes and then nickles and then pennies, that way if someone came in through my money looking to steel my money they would think that i didn't have that much since they couldn't see it

well you know how things will move in the night cuz someone in another part of the house may have jumped or what not? well that would always happen and i would hear my money move, so i thought that there was a bank robber hiding under my bed and whenever i went to bed and turned off the lights, he would take some of my money, not all of it, but enough so that he got plenty but didn't make it look n e one took anything

When I was little, about 8, I thought there was a murderer hiding in the hamper, waiting until it was night so he could kill us. I would always pretend I was brave and dig through the hamper everyday to make sure there wasnt anyone in there. I even had a dream about it and everything!

I used to believe avidly in the idea of "if you can't see them, they can't see you." I had an irrational fear of burglars coming in through the windows of my room(which is on the second floor), so every night, I'd get all of my toy stuffed animals and make a fortress on my bed so that I couldn't see any windows and I was hidden. Then I started worrying that since my eyes were so far from my feet, that the burglars would see my feet and know i was there and kill me. To protect me then, I spent a pretty long time before I went to sleep every night trying to think as if my eyes were on my toes so that I couldn't be seen at all.
