For a while, I thought kissing was how women got pregnant.

It MIGHT have had something to do with getting a half sibling in spite of my father saying he hadn't had sex with the mother. Religion makes people weird, is it really that big a deal to admit you had sex out of wedlock, when everybody already knows you got someone pregnant?

Freddy Krueger was two people. I thought it was like Dr. Frankenstein and his monster. I thought it was Dr. Krueger and Freddy was the monster he created. When I saw the movie I was like where's his creator, the one that brought him to life?

I used to greet clothing store mannequins and thought that people who didn't were very rude.

When my daughter was about 1.5 she would wave like that, waving so she could see her hand correctly.

Not long after that she'd dismiss people she didn't want to deal with with a little blown kiss and a wave. So at the doctor's office they had two nurses come in to give her some shots and she kept doing the little kiss and wave and they went "aww she's blowing kisses" and my wife said "no she's actually trying to dismiss you"
