childish notions

I'll try not to get too graphic, but up until I was about 12 or 13, I had some rather unusual ideas about the orientation of female genitalia. Think: Parallel to the belly button.

I ended up thinking it was a book on how to cook little kids.

"To Serve Man..."

How can something be parallel to a point???

I'm just not visualizing, and that's probably a good thing. No need to elaborate further, really.

No need to elaborate further, really.

And yet ... I'll try again, anyway. Think: Perpendicular to the actual direction. And I REALLY didn't understand how one would use the restroom in that configuration.

Sounds like an excellent quest for Samantha the Red!

Hmm...this has possibilities. Once again my twisted sense of humor and marginal parenting skills win the day!

(You do realize that I'm never going to become a better person at this rate, right? )

When I was young, around 5 or so, I thought I was a budding genius because during an arts and crafts class in kindergarten it occurred to me that a piece of tape, rolled back and stuck to itself, would create an endless loop of sticky tape. Eureka! I had modified an existing product to be able to stick one surface back-to-back with another seamlessly. My teacher wisely and gratefully took my invention and promptly used it to stick the entire class' pictures to the classroom wall. Later on I discovered that news of my discovery had spread and soon it seemed everyone was making use of my new tape-loop™ technique.

My other big invention? Cookies and milk. Together. I started that.

In retrospect, I think I was actually fairly stupid as a child.

You are a gentleman and a scholar and I salute you. Your idea sure spread quickly, though.

That one is true. Vinegar on fries is a bad thing.

I love vinegar on fries. More than I do ketchup.

Yeah. If I'd only known how these things were going to catch on I would have had them patented at the time. :\

I was robbed of that Nobel peace prize though. Do you know how many schoolyard fights are prevented annually by the sharing of cookies & milk™?

I thought there were boy-eating sharks at the deep end of the pool at the Y.

Both my dad and my fiancee's dad told us that television would rot our brains. Difference is, I knew my dad was kidding.

When I got Link's Awakening for the Game Boy, I spent months wandering around the island looking for the heavy-lifting bracelets. Hadn't quite got the idea that they were hidden in the dungeon. Once I got stuck in the dungeon, I left and didn't go back. I thought they were hidden somewhere on the overworld.

World War II felt like a very, very ancient war to me.
