Or the girl next door who wanted you to come over and play doctor

I used to believe we lived to be 100, no more, no less.

[Bobblehead]

I thought hookers had something to do with fishing.

[Ford Prefect]

I used to believe that politicians were honest, and if you read it in the paper, heard it on the radio or saw it on TV, it was the truth.

[BlackEleven]

I used to believe radio stations were preprogrammed into the radio. I was VERY surprised when I took my radio to another country and all of a sudden the stations I knew had been replaced by stations where they were speaking another language!

That the Microwave, vacuum, and one not the pair just one of my winter boots where alive and loved mayonnaise, but only Hellmann's and when day my mom bought miracle whip I thought they where going to kill me in my sleep

[fredr123]

I thought dogs were boys and cats were girls. I now realize that's true in about 50% of cases but back then I was upset that our dog and cat weren't getting along.

People were being attacked by Gorillas (not guerillas).

I convinced my sister if I aimed the tv remote at her and pressed a button it would electocute her. I used this to make her do my bidding -- get me a snack from the fridge, get my toys, etc. Yeah, I guess I was kind of a mean brother sometimes...

Man I wish I would have thought about that one. I was good at being mean but not good enough obviously

The boogeyman...wouldn't go into a room without reaching in and flicking the lightswitch on first.
My one friend's mom made up this monster called Juby or something like that, and said it lived in their basement. Needless to say, we were all careful down there after that.

I wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed and for the longest time I thought Hakan Loob was two people. Hak and Loob. Might have been the way Whalen said it but probably not. A few years later I thought the country duo Brooks and Dunn was one person Brookson Dunn.

I used to believe high school was hard.

I used to believe the Oscars were fun to watch.

I used to believe the Philadelphia Flyers had red uniforms. (My grandfather's colour tv wasn't quite spot on).

I used to believe Darryl Sittler was a God and that Tim Foli was the best shortstop in the history of the world.

I used to believe spending a hot summer afternoon at a small town swimming pool on the prairie was the height of leisure.

I used to believe that eating a wiener and a slice of bread, washed down with a bottle of Orange Crush, all while sitting on the banks of the Raven River with a fishing pole in hand, was the height of culinary delight.

I used to believe that riding a bicycle across a small prairie town was hard . . . . .

I used to believe 15 cents for a comic book and 10 cents for a chocolate bar were pretty stiff prices.

I used to believe digging tunnels in big snow drifts was safe . . . .

I used to believe that Ed Whalen did live play-by-play at the Saddledome and not just on TV.

I was so surprised when I watched my first ever Flames game at the Saddledome and it was dead silent during the action!

Makes you wonder what his mom was doing in the basement....

Pretty sure that still is the culmination of what it means to be a man.

You mean it isn't?

I used to sit on the banks of the Battle River with a fishing pole and similar picnic delicacies, and I recall that being living and eating right.

hehe, that is mean! I caught my sister stealing Pokemon cards from a Shoppers once and threatened to tell on her every time I wanted her to do something for me.
Making them get you a snack is unbelievably satisfying
