25 things i used to believe, but know better now

1. they're called walk-in closets, not walking closets
2. santa claus is real
3. if everyone took martial arts for self defense, who would be left to defend against? (think about it.)
4. all sleeping bags do is sleep. (okay, that thought lasted about 30 seconds. but when you get a box for christmas that says "sleeping bag" on it, you hafta wonder... does it ever wake up?)
5. mrs. white's magic tape works. (kind of a placebo effect.)
6. swing dancing is easy
7. warren is a big place
8. my many future occupations... pastor, teacher, putt-putt golf instructor, restaurant owner, and the list goes on... (and to think, i was going to do all these simultaneously!)
9. you can't heat bologna then eat it. (slight misconception... i was told not to leave bologna out because it would get warm and spoil... but my parents won't let me eat bologna anyway, so what does it matter?
10. the easter bunny is real. (but what makes this belief so hilarious is that i actually pictured what would be a man in a bunny suit... go fig!)
11. pictures of spiky objects in books could prick you, poisonous objects in print could kill you, etc.
12. eating raw cookie dough will kill you. (i know it's not true, but to this day, i have yet to do it.)
13. football is a sport
14. babe ruth was a girl (also shortlived)
15. something involving orange juice, blue jays, balls with stars on them, and my lips... can't remember details though.
16. music is boring. (i blame the elementary school music teachers i had for this one.)
17. everything mr norris, my fifth grade science teacher said was true. (no wait, i didnt believe it... nor have i any reason to...)
18. gym was fun (but only with mr. ross)
19. apple computers were cool
20. kissing is a way to show a girl you like her (bad kindergarten memories)
21. moose club and elks club... you can figure this one out.
22. when you write a letter to a cartoon character, it's really them writing you back. (i should have figured this one out when tom and jerry wrote me back... oh well. fred flintstone, if you're out there and reading this, i'm still expecting a word from you.)
23. you know all those math problems where two trains are leaving different cities at certain times and meeting? well when they "meet," aren't they colliding?
24. boy scouting will get you far in life
25. someday these lists will make me rich and famous. (very, very short-lived.)  ¶ 10:20 PM
