Nuns and teachers did not use the bathroom or actually have a home of their own. They lived at school.

Gramma had a huge scar on her belly that she claimed she got after swallowing her gum and the doctor cut her open to get it out. Neutral I can't tell you how many times I nearly coughed every organ in my stomach cavity out nearly swallowing my gum.

I thought everyone who had pictures of themselves taken in black & white lived in a world that was black & white. I asked: "Mommy, when did the world get color?"

My father was an anchorman on the news...and I used to think he shrunk himself to fit inside the tv. How'd he do that?

I convinced my mom to buy me spinach when I was 5 or 6 because I wanted to grow arms like Popeye. She knew I wouldn't eat it but bought me some anyways. I still remember sitting at the table looking at the giant mound of spinach in front of me and asking her if she was sure she bought the right kind. I couldn't believe anyone would eat that crap after I tried it.

When I was about 5 I overheard my Mom and Grandma talking. Grandma was telling the story of this woman who lived nearby who was giving her twins a bath, then went to answer the phone. When she got back "she'd lost both of them."

I thought she meant they went down the drain.Shocked For months later I was terrified to have my mom pull the plug on the tub until I was safely out.

Fortunately about 20 year later Mr. Rogers wrote that song to ease my fears.

When I was younger I though PH was a man.


(he's not. I was shocked at our Riff raff conference to find an old asian woman waiting for me in a shockingly disturbing pastel-laden shirt at the airport)...
