When I was a kid....
I knew no better but to think that when it was cold outside, there was a "windshield" factor-as opposed to wind chill.
I did not know that when it is 0 degrees outside, one can get frostbitten within 30 minutes. I just wanted to play in the snow.
I thought my animals would be waiting for me in heaven when I die. { This has, as of yet, to be proven or disproven (maybe I will see Bullet and Tabby-cat again!)}.
Poop dissolved into nothingness after you flushed it down the toilet.
Everyone in the world had food to eat, except the kids starving in China (or Africa, or whatever other country one's mother likes to repeat).
Somehow, by kicking their shins and spitting, boys would like me.

Every time I pooped I imagined it going down a tube, a long horizontal tube straight to the Poop Place, where they had whole room-sized containers for all the poop. But the water that you flushed with the poop went into the room-sized containers, too, so I imagined them (all the pieces of poop) floating around lazily in the room-sized containers. The containers all had large window panes in the walls, and I always imagined two scientists in lab coats (one with a clipboard and pencil, the other with his left hand behind his back and his right arm bent with his hand perched on his chin, rubbing it in deep thought) examining the poop all day. Every time a new one would come in (which wasn't all that frequently, actually) their faces would light up with surprise and joy, and they'd quickly hurry over to watch the new piece and see how it behaved and how it acquainted itself with its new surroundings. That's what I thought happened to my poop, every single time. This has been a long-held belief...
No. Seven
That was amazing.
