I Used to Think That...

+Airplanes just knew where they were going and didn't talk to people on the ground. Later, when I learned that they "followed a pattern" or something like that, I thought that they wore special glasses and followed highways in the sky that the rest of us couldn't see.
+There was some major office that just... knew everything and orchestrated all events and bus routes and elections and apartment rentals and inventions.
+I would go to NYU, major in musical theatre, and eventually perform on Broadway. Then I realized I couldn't sing.
+I would follow a band on tour impulsively and become tight with them and live a nomadic life for a while with them. I still think that would be pretty cool. I just don't know which band.
+I could, one day, read every book. Then, when I found out that wasn't possible, I thought that I could one day read every book I wanted to.
+Love didn't exist.
+Making my parents hold hands would help set the mood for them to give me a sibling.
+The dog from those Bush's Baked Beans commercials actually kept the recipe with him.
+I would go to medical school and become a doctor.
+I wanted to be a pearl- and cardigan-wearing, nanny-hiring, Hamptons-vacationing, always made up, marrying into the New England socialite society type girl. Now I don't know what type of girl I want to be.
+One day, I would go to camp and meet my long lost brother or sister and my life would be complete. I begged my parents every year to send me to camp.
+Your hair was kept inside your head, and when it grew it was just coming out of your head.
+I would, one day, get a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
+Everything could be answered. If I asked a question that my parents couldn't answer, they were stupid.
+I would be President one day.
+I knew who I was.
+Things made of wood were carved from one giant piece of wood, not individual pieces put together.
+Everyone had a home.
+Well, I used to wonder why actors used different names when they were on screen. Like, wouldn't it be easier if they just went by their actual name all the time?
+I could do anything.
+When someone said they were an "inventor," they went to this center that had every part and tool you could imagine and it was just a BIG HUGE workshop where everyone invented things. It resembled a less colorful Santa's workshop.
+Movies were actually filmed where they were set.
+When the street lines got repainted, people drove a truck and there was a guy hanging out the back of it, putting his paintbrush on the ground regularly. I still don't know how they get there.
