What’s something you used to believe as a kid that seems ridiculous now?
As a kid, I think the traditional trio had me completely convinced: Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy.
Not half-convinced either. Fully committed.
I accepted that a man in a bright red suit, carrying a giant sack, flew around the entire world in one night. Granted, he probably didn’t have much traffic to deal with because I’m fairly sure flying reindeer led by Rudolph would have right of way with other air traffic.
Then there was the Easter Bunny, who somehow had the brilliant idea of making chocolate eggs to give to children all over the world. I did always wonder if the Easter Bunny should have been an Easter chicken instead, because at least chickens actually lay eggs. Bunnies, as far as I know, do not.
And then there was the Tooth Fairy.
Either she was using all those teeth as building blocks for a fairy castle, or it was the weirdest recycling system I’ve ever heard of.
Honestly, childhood was wild. We really did accept the terms and conditions without reading them. But maybe we just didn’t care, I mean free money, presents and chocolate. Bring it on!
