My “stupid” list
Does everyone have a list of stupid things they believed when they were a young child?
I was thinking about that while I got my cat fresh water this morning. Because when I was younger, and our cats came into our house after being outside in the winter cold, I always gave them fresh warm water. My logic then was, “They must be so cold! They will like drinking this warm water, because it will warm them up!”
Duh.
Do I like to drink warm water when I am cold? No. Well, not unless it is hot coco or cider. So I doubt the cats liked warm water. They probably just waited for it to cool down, then drank it.
What’s on your “stupid” list? I bet mine could go on and on…

that is hilarious!!! (i think it’s nice you were trying to help them warm up since they had been out in the cold!!!)
when my brother and i were little daddy told us that arnold schwarzenegger talked funny because he was deaf (i didn’t know it was an accent)… my logic was, why would daddy tell me something like that if it wasn’t true?!? so i believed him… it was only like 10 years ago i found out that he wasn’t really deaf…

CourtneyInControl – ha ha ha! It is so funny what you can tell kids and they will believe it… I am guilty of making up a few things like that! I really shouldn’t!
When I was really young, I thought that when a couple wanted to have children, they prayed to God and He “made” her pregnant – and, strangely, I wasn’t raised religious, I don’t think at that age I had ever been to church, so it couldn’t have been a mis-understanding of immaculate conception. Then, after I had some idea of how it really happens, I thought it happened every time, ’cause what other reason would there be for doing that? Amazing that I ever managed to procreate, with that confused beginning!
sheryl – ha ha ha! I think conception is something EVERY kid is confused about! I thought it happened by KISSING!!!
Yeah I used to think that coffee could only be drank by grown ups because if a child tried they would get in big trouble. For some reason, when my parents were explaining the certain age to drink, coffee got thrown into that conversation (though I am sure they never said that it was part of the do not do until your 21 thing). I thought that until I was about 16 and one of my friends ordered coffee at a cafe. The waitress didn’t card her and I asked why and let’s just say I felt silly afterwards.
