The World According to Children
Children have their own innocent yet wacky view of reality.
Here are some of the things we believed when we were kids, so I assume many still do.
Hey, maybe we were right!
- Santa Claus knows more than mom or God
- If someone "triple dog dares you", then you have to do it, it's in the Constitution
- When you get to heaven (a) everyone wears white (b) you get to live with all your pets again (c) God speaks English (so does everyone there)
- When you're grown up, everything is free
- Everything will be OK when I'm: pick an age: 16, 18, 21...
- If my parents keep punishing me I'll run away and (a) join the circus (b) become a pirate (c) go to the North Pole and work for Santa
- Women can only get pregnant if they're married, and 30 is too old
- If you dig deep enough, you'll hit China
- If something falls on the floor, if you pick it up quick enough there won't be any germs on it yet
- There's a real "Boogey Man" and he can't be killed.
He can also change his size and shape. - We are the only country that has iPods, SpongeBob Squarepants, and McDonalds.
- It's a United Nations law that no two countries can speak the same language - that's so you can tell where they come from when they talk.
New countries have to make up new languages. - When you move to another country, it takes two or three days to learn the new language.
- If you get frozen before you die, you can be thawed out again later and you'll be OK - when I grow up I'll put a people freezer in the basement so we can escape any wars that come.
- The President is always the smartest man in America.
