Childish misconceptions. Options

[Mistress Bags]

Every kid growing up has naive, childish fancies to what life is really about. Kids are full of innocent misconceptions, narrow perspectives.

What were yours as a kid?



Mine:
As a toddler, I was pretty sure that my toys had feelings.
Adults had a flawless, god-like status, and always intimidated me.
I thought all women were mommies, no questions asked (yay, society for making me think that!).
I wanted to be an artist when I grew up, and didn't understand my parents when they told me it was near impossible.
I also thought as a last resort, I would be a president when I grew up, hahaha.
I didn't know what an air conditioner was, even though we always had one. When my mom shouted the typical, "Close the door-- we're not paying to keep the outside cold!" I never understood.
All parents existed for was to make your life full of pain. A result of being physically abused, I'm afraid.

As a kid I thougth you had to be born famous. Like I didn't know your average person could work hard and get on the radio. I just thought the people just...did it. Boy when I found out that wasn't the case I was like well thats what I'm gonna do.

I also used to think that actors were the actual character. Like Mary Poppins was Mary Poppins in real life, not Julie Andrews. So I would get confused when I watched the Sound of music cuz my mom would say see her? thats Mary Poppins. very confusing.

I also thought that China was from China. Adn it was a chinese thing. And I never got why we ate out of it.

And I used to think when people said foggy they were saying it was froggy outside. And I could never find the damn frogs

Same thing with being hoarse. I never saw a horse either.

A sad one is when I was really young I used to think all movie with real people in them (a la not cartoons) were bad like pronography. Thanks to having a mom who was a stripper who had a habit of being home disgusting dirty jerks home every night. Here night 'career' also led to me having an irrational fear of torms...because I was left at home all the time and was caught in a tornado. I would actually put on mary poppins (the only movie other than sound of music and willy wonka with real people i watched til I turned like..10) and wear headphones so i wouldnt hear the storm or see the weather warning on tv. I'm still scared to death of storms too.

wow theres a lot of crap I discovered. I'll never forget when I figured out the clitoris wasnt a broken nerve and it was actually supposed to feel like that. HAHA! I used to think I was severly broken hahahaha.

Enough embarassing crap :)
