Serial killers are actually cereal killers

My parents used to watch Americas most wanted when I was younger. When I was about 6 or 7 I remember hearing the word serial killer (home and friends), and thought that it was a person who killed people for their cereal. I was so afraid to eat cereal. Since my parents ate cereal, I was afraid that they would come after us to kill us while we slept.

i used to watch america's most wanted and when john walsh spoke about serial killers, he was talking about people who either killed you with cereal, or killed you and then ate your cereal. i hid all the froot loops, convinced this would ward off a 'cereal killer'.

When I was little, I always heard about serial killers on the news. I assumed they were talking about cereal killers, people who murdered you by poisoning your cereal. For some reason, that didn't stop me from eating it.

When I was about six or seven years old, the infamous serial killer John Wayne Gacy was put to death. I couldn't understand why he recieved such a grim punishment, as I thought a serial killer was a guy who smashed boxes of cereal.

When i heard "grown-ups" talk about serial killers, i thought someone was going to take/kill my cereal. So with the "grown-ups" I would get fearful also, but for different reasons.

When I was little, I used to think that a serial killer was a killer who ate a lot of cereal. I wonder if I was the only one who thought that.

When I was little, I would watch the news with my mom. And I hear "serial killer" and I thought it meant "cereal killer". Me and my sister had different aspects of that. My sister thought that there would be a guy literally stabbing a cereal box with a knife. I thought it was a guy that put poison in the cereal to kill little kids that eat it.

When I was little, I believed that serial killers were people who would hide in your cereal box, and when you would pour out the cereal, the cereal killer would fall out and kill you. I didn't eat cereal for a year after that...
