My Stupid Kid Brain

- Believed that Tums were candy and ate 7 of them

- Was nice to my toys because I didn't want them to come to life and kill me

- Believed that my friends didn't have families because I never saw their parents/siblings

- Thought that if you ate unwashed fruit, you'd die

- Liked the kaleidoscope of colors when you left crayons in a car so I did that often

- Thought the Grimm Brothers' stories were based on real events

- Thought that hanging meant they chained your wrists to a wall and left you there

- Did not know that Edgar Allan Poe wrote fiction

- Constantly mixed up Peyton Manning and Drew Brees (my favorite football players)

- Thought that Bert and Ernie were brothers

- I would stare at the sun because I was told I shouldn't and I thought if I did it more, it wouldn't hurt (needless to say, that didn't work and I think I fucked up my eyes)

- Ate Flinstones gummies and Halls like they were candy (I really thought cough drops were candy and that the candymakers just didn't know that it was supposed to taste good)

- Thought Jane Goodall was dead (I found out that was false recently and I'm not gonna lie, I was emotionally hijacked)

- Wanted basically every animal on TV/in movies because I thought they were all cute

- Talked to ghosts like they were my friends. Apparently, it was eerie.
