Things I believed when I was younger...

• I used too believe in the tooth fairy until she didn’t leave money under my pillow anymore.  My mom said she, “forgot.”
• Santa Claus didn’t respond to my letter.
• I believed in ghosts until my dad told me they didn’t exist

• I used to think Billy Joel’s name was Billy idol.
• Clowns were evil.
• Vampires.
• Clifford the big red dog.
• I used to think when adults drank alcohol they were alcoholics but I learned only when they drink too much.  I told mom dad was an alcoholic after a summer at my dad’s house and then she explained to me.
• All adults were suppose to be nice until I had my 2^nd grade P.E. teacher

• I thought cigarettes were drugs and I saw the neighbor smoking and tattled, but I learned from my sister that they were just tobacco.

• I thought my sisters were my full sisters, but my teacher told me they were my half sisters because we had a different dad.
• My friends told me I was a mistake because I was so much younger than my sisters.
• My sister told me if I kissed a boy that my mouth would turn green.
