excursions

When I was really little, like 4 or 5, I was very intimidated by kids older than me. I always thuoght of myself as a "little kid". I would go to buger king and be really hungry, but I would never order the "big kids meal" because i was konvinced that i wasn't a big kid.

Little Kid

I use to think that when I got in line at a theme park that the whole park would follow my family due to secret speakers.

When I was young I went bowling with my parents once. By the entrance there was a room which I could see through the window was dark and had toys scattered on the floor. When I asked my parents what the room was they told me that's where they put little boys and girls who didn't behave. The only weird thing is that even as an adult when I've driven by that alley I get a weird feeling despite knowing my parents were just trying to get me to behave.

When I was a kid I cried every time my mother said she was taking us to Applebees because I thought that all their food was made from apples and I didnt want to eat there.

When I heard music playing from above me in a nice restaurant, I used to think that there were multiple bands upstairs in the attic playing songs.

Until i was about 12 (i know, it's a shame) i thought the movie screen at the theater was just a large TV, and the movie was placed into a regular VCR-just like we did at home. I would wait impatiently until the movie was scheduled to start and scurry to the front row when i suspected an employee would be putting the movie in. I never did find a VCR in the wall anywhere...

My Mother told me that if I didn't finish my food, (in a restaurant) that the waiter would charge us to take the leaft overs away. I was a fussy eater but beleived her and always cleared my plate. I don't have that problem now though, I'm always on the prowl for more food:)

Far and away from the internet

I used to believe that pictures, especially huge portraits of people, would rest when no one was looking or when they thought no one was looking. So you can imagine how afraid I was when I visited an art museum and we took a tour of the place. I just knew I would happen to see one of the people change positions out of the corner of my eye when we walked past.

I used to think I was going to fall through the ice and drown when I was ice skating and heard the ice cracking. I found out 35 years later that the ice skating area was just about a 5" depression on a park lawn that was flooded for skating during the winter.

Shortly after my mom got a ticket for speeding my dad had the radio on and they were talking about winning a ticket to a concert or something. I was very happy that my mom had already won one so I told my dad and he laughed at me saying it was the wrong type of ticket.

when we would pass by "the crying lady"(a statue of a woman crying for veterans) i thought that she had been real and after becoming so upset over so many deaths she got frozen.i would always pray that she would come un-frozen.

When I was little and my parents used to take me to the zoo I loved it so much I never wanted to go home, so my mom exitedly said, lets go see the exit and I couldnt wait to see this new animal and eagerly ran along. Oh was I disappointed.

Thanks to Willy Wonka, i thought that if i went to the very top floor in an elevator i would crash right through the roof, and i wouldnt be as lucky to be unharmed.

I was always wary of lifts/elevators as a kid, as I believed that if you went down below the basement level, they would take you straight....to....hell!!

Being little and trying to entertain me constantly, my parents took me to the local movie theater alot. Inside, the walls had poofy curtain-like things on them. I had always thought that lions in cages were behind them ready to eat me if I talked during the movie. I was fairly imaginative as a kid.
