When I was little...

I used to think that the planes leaving tracks in the sky were all crashing. I didn't know about the curve of the Earth's atmosphere, and it looked like they were falling to the ground. I thought they were blowing up as they were falling and that's where the "smoke" was coming from. I think that probably stems from watching the Challenger explode as a child.

When I was little, I thought that the people who kissed on tv and in films were all married. How did they find so many married couples who were willing to be actors on tv? That really puzzled me.

It's funny the ideas or explanations we come up with when we're little, all based on the as yet small amount of information we have about the world. They're like our own little Greek myths.

Ha! That's great.

I remember riding in our red AstroVan and asking, "Why is every song about love? Yuck. That's stupid."
