I used to think a shark could swim up the pool drain and gobble me up. The drain wasn't even 8 inches wide.
when I was little, and on road trips. My mom used to say that the telephone poles were full of spaghetti sauce and the wires were spaghetti and the metal can shaped things attached to the top were full of cheese. and when people were hungry and short on cash they could have spaghetti.
when I was little I use to to love bums who played music in the train station for money.I used to ask for money from my mother every time that I saw one. I thought that they might want a sandwich and a house so I would put money into the cups until my mother told at once that they would spend the money on drinks and drugs and then I lost interest in bums.

I believed that all houses came equipped with power, water, and phones.
I believed that families lived in houses, and single people lived in apartments.
When i was around 10 give or take, me and my friends actually believed we could build some sort of secret world below the ground outside in the apartments where we lived you know a little secret underground fully equiped with a tv and everything. So after carefully thinking thru and discussing this top secret project and making sure nobody finds out especially any grown ups, we got prepared for some serious digging. We dug at the side of the building maybe a 10 square foot area. It was a hidden area so we dug all day. I think we even continued the next day first thing. Well we had dug so deep we were all having second thoughts thinking about the trouble we would get in if caught.
Sure enough not too long after that the landlord caught us and almost had a heart attack. We had almost dug out a swimming pool.

Today, I find it's funny, because it's a very famous kid believe.
I thought I lived before stoplights existed because we were stuck in traffic. We were going on a ramp towards a bridge.
