1. I used to think that I was really funny. Like soooo funny that I could be a comedian. I guess that's because people laughed at me a lot.
2. I used to think that my stomach filled my entire torso, and that different foods would fall into different columns as I ate them. Like Connect4 or something. Hence, I always had room for dessert.
3. I used to think that the twins who lifeguarded at my pool who were Katie and Mary Hart were the children of Gary Hart the politician.
4. I used to think that my Uncle Ronnie couldn't talk. When he finally spoke to me to ask me to bring him a beer, I just stood there with my mouth open. He was just quieter than the rest of the family.
5. I used to think that foreign languages were just like a code, and that if I could figure out the letter-to-letter correspondence between English and French I would be fluent. I spent an afternoon trying to do this with a book from the library.

Ha ha, number 5 is hilarious! You were (and probably still are) a smart little booger!
I laughed at #2 & #4 -- I can't believe you remember all that. I remember thinking there were little people in the TV - like it was a stage inside the box, behind glass. I crawled behind the TV once to see them from behind and was disappointed that I couldn't see anything...yeah, I was one bright cookie.
My favorites were #4 and #5.
I love that you thought your Uncle couldn't talk. Too funny!
I think that stomach thing is near genius. That's how a stomach SHOULD work.
I wish I could remember all of the funny things I thought. I will try to think up some things and get back with you. Those were funny!
Wow...that's some deep thinking for a kid. You're a smart one!
