My brother had a really long paper route and sometimes he would ask me to help.It was usually dark when we started so i thought that there were gremlins hiding in the trees and bushes watching me.So i would sprint up and down the driveways cause i was scared.

I used to believe that blackmail is what African Americans gave to other African Americans. Then I realized what blackmail really meant and started to associate it with Asians.

I used to think that "Greased Lighting" was about recycling. That's more the fault of the bad annunciation of the singers combined with the fact that I was three.

I used to stare at myself in the mirror, then cup my hands and concentrate really hard; trying to Kamehameha.

i used to believe that my toys got jealous of each other if they didnt get played with the same amount

and that a space alien lived in my garage, which is why i would not go in there at night and would often bring my bike into my room so i didnt have to face opening the door, imagining there would stand a thin grey alien with those horrible huge black eyes staring at me, waiting with its ray gun. i must have seen a bad sci-fi movie when i was super young, i'v never been able to pinpoint where that idea came from. ray guns xD

When I used to live in a house near to the beach, I thought that many years ago some pirates hid gold in that beach and every weekend I dug the sand looking for the precious gold and become a rich guy. But I never found it, the only things I found were some strange rocks, slippers and crabs.
