Jenna Marbles is my hero and role model. So, inspired by her "Things I Thought As A Kid" video(s), here's a silly little list of things I thought as a kid:
Happy Wednesday!
- I, like Jenna, thought that if you didn’t want bangs anymore, you could just cut them off.
- “Tofu” was actually “toefood,” just because I thought it should be pronounced that way. I didn’t have strong feelings about whether or not it was food because I wasn’t really forced to eat it.
- I thought grown-ups never cried or lost their tempers at all.
- My parents had this pendant for us to wear outside—I don’t remember if they told us, or if we made it up, that it would protect us from being stung by bees. I was never brave enough to find out if this was true by bothering bees, but it did feel better to wear the pendant.
- Mary-Kate and Ashley were triplets, not twins. I never watched their show or even knew who they were at all, I just heard the names spoken. To me, it sounded like Mary, Kate, and Ashley. I didn’t know for the longest time that Mary-Kate was one single person, because she has two first names.
- I never asked where babies come from. I knew they came from pregnant women and that answer was good enough for me. I never thought about how those women got pregnant.
- I took certain words too literally, like, I thought the word “kidnapped” only applied to kids, and wondered what it was called when adults got kidnapped. Actually, if I remember right, I just thought that didn’t happen to adults.
- Another case of the too-literallys: Once my sister was pretending to be on a boat, and when I walked into the room, she yelled “man overboard!” I angrily shouted back, “I’m not a man!”
- Clouds were soft and fluffy, and I continued wanting to believe this even after learning how rain worked.
- I hated getting up early so much I literally thought “morning sickness” was just not feeling good in the morning due to not getting enough sleep.
Happy Wednesday!
