did you have weird thoughts as a kid? - Page 2

Or what myths did you grow up with?

- In kindergarten, whenever we kids saw a helicopter or plane fly by, we would ALL stop our playing in the playground and wave to the copters/planes, saying, "Bye Mom! Bye Dad!" because for some reason, all of us naturally assumed our parents went to work by plane. I remember our teachers always holding back their laughs when we did that.

- My mental image of God was a military guy wearing a uniform (disruptive pattern material), standing on the tallest mountain in the world and looking through a big telescope. That's how he kept an eye on every soul on the planet.

- Because I had many nightmares about vampires, my mother would always tell me to shout out God's name (or her name!) in my dream, or say something like "This isn't a dream"; then my nightmare would end. Well, I admit, once I called out God's name and the dream ended. But another time, I was trapped in a kitchen in my nightmare, and I opened the door only to see a tall, scary, lady vampire staring back at me. I said confidently, "This isn't a dream and you're not really here!" and SHE DIDN'T MOVE. So, I quickly scrambled under a table. In my dream.

Ok that's enough, I guess.

I used to think that road-signs with a arrow pointing straight were actually pointing up towards the sky...you know, for all the cars with wings...

I also was really scared of getting trapped inside the fridge. I think this was inspired by an episode of Punky Brewster.

I was such a strange child...

i asked my mom about this, and she gave me two more:

1. I used to think the priest in church was God. They always said it was "god's house" and the priest was always there, ergo...

2. When i was finally old enough to understand what was being said at mass, it was very traumatic. Theree is this one part where they say "God has died..."

and with me thinking the priest was god and all, it was very upsetting and I screamed, "Mommy! GOD HAS DIED!" and burst into tears. Me and God (the priest) were buds, and to hear about his death like that was quite a shock....

Yes, that's the episode!! LOL! I was so obsessed with that show when I was a kid. I mean, I wanted to *be* Punky Brewster. Fortunately, my mother refused to let me dress like that. There was far too much hot pink in that girl's wardrobe

Ha! I did see that one. Through the whole episode, I just kept thinking "Heh heh, that's Punky Brewster." I'm far too easily amused...
