I used to believe

When I was a little girl...

I used to believe cats were the girls and dogs were the boys.

I used to believe thistle seeds were flying spiders.

I used to believe thunder was the sound of God bowling.

I used to believe if you swallowed gum it was stay in your tummy for 7 years.

I used to believe that when my dad took his coffee in the truck with him he was "drinking & driving."

I used to believe eating a watermelon seed would cause a watermelon to grow in your belly.

I used to believe the nuclear power plant near my house was a cloud making machine.

I used to believe if I was still in the tub when the water finished draining the devil could reach up and pull me down.

I used to believe my dolls and stuffed animals would watch me while I was sleeping so I would make my mom turn them all face down at bedtime.

I used to believe I could hypnotize anyone with a necklace and pendant while telling them they were getting very sleepy.

I used to believe there were two N's in the alphabet because of the song. I thought the "and" between Y and Z was an N.  Sing it..."W, X, Y, N, Z."

I used to believe playing with my belly button would cause it to come undone and i'd fly around the room deflating like a balloon.
