excursions

When I was small, I used to be dragged along with my parents to see and Orchestra play classical music. If you've ever seen a really "passionate" musician, you'll know that sometimes they'll make some strange faces while they play. I thought this meant that playing the violin or whatever hurt, and I wondered why no one went up to help hold up the violin because it was so heavy, and they had to hold it up for so long.

When I was just about two or three years old, at restaurants I would always want to get down on the floor, but my parents told me that the floor was hot and I would burn my feet.

I believed that all the McDonalds characters lived and worked at McDonalds. I thought birdie and hamburgler ducked behind the counter handing the cashiers the ketchup packets. Then Ronald was in the back with the purple guy telling all the workers what to do.

when i was young i once took a trip to disneyworld with my family. when we went on "its a small word" i thought that the singing was the people on the boat singing. i sat next to my dad, who always sings along to everything, so hearing him sing along comfirmed my belief. i though i would get in trouble if i didnt sing so i tried my best, but really messed it up cuz i didnt know the words. i seriously thought the secerity was going to come after me.

every sunday we would go get McDonalds after church. I though the mcnuggets would get sad if i didn't pick them, but then if I picked them too much then the burger would get sad.

seriously, i made my mom remember so i would always go every-other

my dad was a member of the lions club (a community servive group) and whenever he went to a meeting i thought him and a bunch of other dads were all in a big circus style ring with whips training lions. i told lots of other kids because i thought he was very brave.

You know those British soldiers with the red coats and big fuzzy hats who have to stand perfectly still? I used to believe that if they moved while on duty, the Queen would chop their heads off.

I used to belive that if you didn't step off of an escalator carefully, the teeth would grab your foot and pull you down inside it.

My dad told me this. In motels there are these doors that lead to the next room. He told me a dungeon was in them.

I live in a neighborhood called Queen Anne and when I was younger and I used to take walks with my parents I would stop at every single house to try to see if I could see the Queen through the window.

When My cousin and I were kids, he told me that "IceCapades" (a live ice skating show that you could go see) was really gross and had lots of naked people. It wasn't until years later that I realized that he had confused IceCapades with "Escapades" (an adult cable network).

When I was 2 or 3 my mom went into KFC and I didn't want to go. So my mom said, "The big man will get you." I pointed at the KFC man on the wall (THE MAN ON THE KFC LOGO) and said, "Is the big man him?" My mom said yes and I ran in!!!!

Whenever we were on a log ride I always thought that there was no track that led down the highest drop and you were free falling for about 50 feet or so. I was always really scared thinking we would turn over and either fall into the water or fly out and hit something hard and die a painful death.

When I was in third grade I was going to go on a field trip to a planetarium. I was very disappointed and told my mother "Why do I have to go to a building to see plants?? I'm not going. I can see plants outside." This was FRIDAY, the NEXT FRIDAY I woke up and she made me go anyways. When I got to the plant-ittarium as I htought it was, I was pleasantly suprised, but mad because my mother hadn't explained the truth to me this WHOLE WEEK!

My daughter is 6 and asked me recently why I go into the tanning bed that stands up. She said the stand up ones are only for boys and the lay down ones for girls. Since boys stand up when they pee.
