Some things we used to believe turned out not to be true. Post your kid beliefs here. Here are some of mine.
1. When the astronauts had the lunar rover (or the "space car" as I called it) on the moon, they drove all the way around the entire circumference of the moon.
2. My dad could beat up any dad of any of the other kids at school, and he could play for the Dallas Cowboys.
3. On a kickoff in the NFL, if you kicked it so hard that it went through the uprights, it was a field goal.
4. Women as old as 70, 80, or 90 could still get pregnant.
5. The pointy-eared guy on Star Trek was named "Mr. Spark."
6. The Lord's Prayer starts with, "Our father who aren't in heaven ..."
7. It was possible to throw a touchdown pass from your own endzone all the way into the other endzone.
8. Some day I could marry President Nixon's daughter, Tricia.
9. I went swimming in the ocean, and a sea creature tore me up into 40 different pieces and then doctors had to sew me back together. (There was a genuine accident where I nearly drowned, but as a kid, I didn't fully understand what had happened.)
10. If you could ski straight down a mountain, you would gain enough momentum to ski up the other mountain. Then you could ski straight down that mountain and up the previous one. You could just keep doing that all day long back and forth as much as you wanted.
11. Paper was made by slicing trees really thin.
Okay, your turn. Post your kid beliefs.
