Wow.....you were actually raised like a kid. I was raised like an adult in an Aristocratic environment. Wood paneling, books, reservations, servants, the whole nine yards. It gets old. I would have given anything to play with the other kids.

I would give anything for your environment, Koitenshin, as a kid.

As a kid, kids tried to kill me. In fact I nearly died from being choked to death and mobbed by 7 kids. This was at the tender age of 10-11.

Now that I'm an adult, I have a job, I'm gettin' around, doin' what I want, and feeling groovy.

But I could have done this far earlier had not arcane laws based on age, and not maturity/mental abilities, not stopped me. Bleck.

I've never been rich as fuck. My father and my stepmother were. I hated it so I went to live with my mother.

I used to not know how to pronounce Japanese words, so I just applied English pronunciation rules like "an E at the end is silent and makes the vowel long". So I rhymed anime with time, pronounced kitsune as kit-soon, etc.
I did that with English. "Match-ine" is the only one I can remember at the moment though.

Oh, yes, and the first time I saw a black person I thought I must have been seeing things... nobody had ever mentioned to me that there were people with different skin colours.

I remember when I met my first "black" person. I walked up to him and said "Your mother doesn't make you take baths like mine does she?"

Well....I'm just glad he was a construction worker with a sense of humor. Of course everyone was still freaking out but him.

I always understood that black people were just... different skin toned. Weird.

Well when you're 4 years old you don't know any better being raised in an all-white community. Not racist community, just all-white.

I couldn't remember anything earlier when I first saw this thread, but after reading my journal, I came across this old entry where I'd mentioned a few things. Keep in mind, these are all from a period of my life where I was <5 years old.

- I used to believe there were parts of Toby from Thomas The Tank Engine in the shed. I was afraid to enter it.

- At night I could hear my parants talking, and the TV in my bedroom. I used to think the sound came from a sock lying in the corner.

- And I used to think the sound of my parents' alarm clock came from some pink rubber things sticking out from the wall.

- And I used to think that my dad playing loud music in the living room was the reason why I got holes on my pants' knees.

When I was <5, I thought beer made people grow beards. (That's why I thought I couldn't have it. )

I used to think different people had differently colored pee.

I also used to think that I could "help" the sky be bluer by putting some blue food coloring in some water in a cup, and leaving it on the window sill to evaporate.

Beer tends to make people's beards grow, actually

No wonder my facial hair won't grow then. I only drink hard liquor.

When I was young I believed the 12 foot tall plants in my great-grandfather's house were magical beanstalks.......they were magical all right but they weren't beanstalks.

He had marijuana plants growing 12 feet tall in Ceramic pots.

Ah, yes, that reminds me of trying to "charge" solar-powered calculators by leaving them in the sun for a few hours.

I will be the first to admit it.....I believed I could dig to China. I even tried. I dug a 20 foot hole in our backyard. XD
