innocent ignorance

i used to believe:

that 20th Century Fox was a real monument that was shot to place at the beginning of movies

that tom and jerry was one word

that only my house was called 'Agami' and not the whole town

that the escalator would bite off your shoes if you didn't step off in time

that my mom knew absolutely everything, just because she said she did

that if you keep the tap running too long sewer insects will start crawling out

that Michael Jackson was born white

that Cinderella was real

that i was adopted (courtesy of mean older siblings)

that summer was endless

that picking flower petals determined the outcome of major incidents

that if i slept over at my grandma's i would never come back home

that by this year in my life i would have known exactly where i was and where i was going
