I used to think that rape was when you took off someone's clothes, but usually only the shirt and shoes. How wrong I was.

When I was younger, my mom told me that if i keep writing on myself with ink, that it was against the law and the ink police was going to come and take me away from her.... It got me to stop writing on myself...lol

I remember one time (think i was about 5) my mom told me it was illegal to pick California poppies. So some time afterwards when I was on a field-trip at school there was a field with a bunch of California poppies and I was really scared to go near them because I thought if I stepped on one or one went missing (like they count them everyday :) They would d think I did it and I would go to jail

When I heard someone was arrested for having sex with a minor, I thought that they were having sex with someone who works in a mine. Also a friend of mine thinks that a women should not have sex with a miner because they were unclean.

When I was 2, I stole candy from a drugstore and of course, I didn't know what I was doing so my parents weren't mad. When I was 6, my parents told me about. I was terrified of going to jail and I couldn't sleep for months!

many years ago my husband andi were discussing peter sutcliffe's arrest. we said,"oh, he will plead insanity"insanity this" "insanity that"
our daughter, who would be,ooh probably 10 yrs old at the time,said but what has santy(claus) got to do with it?

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.

One time my friend Sara said that if your name was Lizzie then Lizzie Borden would kill you with an ax when you were sleeping and since my name is Lizzie then I would always stay awake at night and take a long nap during the day.A couple nights later after Sara said that I heard a quiet laugh then two horrible screams and I think she was saying I would be next to be killed with an ax!

I used to belive that anyone who went in the drive-thru at burger king was a burgler.

When I was younger, I used to think that alcohol in beverages was the same as rubbing alcohol. Therefore, I pictured a group of gangmembers standing in a circle, passing around a white bottle that had rubbing alcohol in it.

For some reason I thought sometimes when the police found a dead body it wasn't real but a fake one the bad guy had made that was so realistic even the police, coroners etc couldn't tell

I used to thinm that all criminals were like the bad guys on tv, but then I learned better and thought that there was no such thing as criminals!

When I was younger i thought 'rape' was 'rake', while i still thought that this would be quite painful to be raked i really didnt think it would be as tramatizing as the women on tv made it...

Manda

Once, when i was little, i thought that going to jail was something that lmost every man did. I used to picture my dad in a 1 man cell

I used to believe that getting Raped was when someone took a rake and beat you with it.

I used to think burglers were like those pool creepy crawleys but on a pole on wheels with blue and white streamers!!! Don't know where I got that one from.
