Edit- Porcelain you're a quick one, but yeah that's what I figured (hence the sheer happenstance). My friend told me he found beastiality porn in his grandma's attic. There were other people to corroborate this but I never saw it myself..it was odd because his grandma is a very very religious conservative Christian...who was apparently into donkey porn

grandma gets down like James Brown

When I was 18 or 19 I called my mum up in South Africa after watching a fake news show about the end of the earth.. which I thought was real! I asked her if she knew and told her how much I loved her and finished abruptly because I didn't want her to say goodbye. She called back a few minutes later to tell me the world was not really ending. Of course my mum presumed I had some sort of near death experience on LSD.. and the really sad part about it all was that I was only stoned.

This isn't me but ROUND hALLOWEEN WHEN MY KID WAS ABOUT 2 SHE WANTED TO BE A WITCH. sHE WAS CARRYING THE BOORM AROUND SO SHE COULD FLY IT. I told her that witches fly on brooms, so the nxt thing I know she is telling me not to look. I peek out and see her trying to actually get the broom to fly, struggling with it and getting angry. Finally she looks at me and says out of frusterATION..."It doesn't work momma!"

i thought it was cute/funny.

I was surprised to discover, at around age 7, that time machines weren't real. I just assumed, because I saw them in cartoons all the time, that they really had them.

Among others. Bugs used one a few times that seemed convincingly real.

I remember believing there were actually grown ups in the world; that adults had some intrinsic quality that made them superior to me as a kid. It wasn't until I became an adult myself that I realized that adults are basically just kids with responsibilities, money, and genital hair.

(Yes, kids, we are just as scared of the grown up world as you are. God help us in this recession....
