The other day, I was thinking about things I used to believe, really and honestly, before finding out that they were both untrue and somewhat silly. Amused, I decided to post some of the ones I remember.

I actually used to believe:

. . . that seven-year-olds could fly. I distinctly remember being on a swingset at the age of six, swinging high, ( Read more... )

LOL. You know, I always assumed Jesus liked red best, but if it's green then I didn't have to change my favorite color after all! (I am dead serious about this. I wonder how common it is.)

I have never before considered Jesus's favorite color. Somehow theologians have been overlooking the question for millenia. And now I sort of want to write a silly essay analyzing color imagery in the gospels in order to prove some kind of thesis about it, kind of like the Shakespeare critic who argued that Shakespeare must not have liked dogs, because there are so many negative images of dogs in his plays.

Haha! I remember you mentioning the maple syrup baron thing before. It's still funny.

I'd never heard the story about the laundry chute, though. That sucks. A lot. Poor little naive baby Nic!

Heehee! There's a website like that, actually. http://www.iusedtobelieve.com/

One of my own: I believed, as many children probably do, that vampires and assorted Scary Things lived in my closet. (Well, vampires seemed scary then.) But I was convinced that they could only bite the neck of someone sleeping on their back. If you slept on your side, that confused them and they wouldn't be able to suck your blood, ever.

I also believed that my dad and his identical twin had exactly the same thoughts and could read each other's minds.

More depressingly, I believed gay couples could get married. I think I had seen an episode of Seinfeld where Elaine says she's going to a lesbian wedding, so I assumed it was totally legal.
