When I was 18 I thought that Lo cal dressing at Wendy's was made in my home town of Monroe. It was when low calories craze first came out. My dad has never let me live it down for many many years.

Also as a child I thought I was smarter than everyone else and that there was nothing to be afraid of about the fast drop from high altitude ride at 6 Flags over Texas, because just like in an elevator right before it hit the bottom you could just "Jump up in the air" and you would land unharmed.

Every kid(even seemed some adults) I knew in Tensas/Madison/Franklin parishes in the early 80s believed this. We never missed a card at the Monroe Civic Center or a late Saturday night show on tv. Great times.

Until I was 23 or 24 I believed that cold water boiled faster than hot water. Old wives tale

Of course not. I see someone else has already explained it to you, but "for all intensive/thorough purposes" seemed reasonable enough.

Stupid me thought if you took an old sheet, tie several long pieces of twine at equal distances around it you could jump off a roof and it would act like a parachute.

It didn't. Didn't break anything, but never did that stupid shite again.

Back in the 90s I went into the Army right out of high school. After training, I got stationed in Germany. My orders said I needed either my military ID or a VISA to travel overseas. I thought thank goodness I was in the military because I didn't want to have to get a credit card.

As a child I thought that Goodwill was actually Good Will. It was the same guy working there every time we'd donate something. I thought it was just a guy named Will that helped poor people. Good guy that Will.

Easy mistake for a young, naive kid right out of high school.

I was a teenager when it struck me that our "tilty room" was actually the utility room. My family speaks country.

I'm almost embarrassed at how often my wife will say something pretty dumb. Lucky for her she's pretty. No pics.

I believe the line in the song "Roundabout" by Yes

is "Mallards fall out of the sky and they stand there..."
