Things you used to think and now can't believe you did.

Some friends and I were having morning tea today and got to talking about our childhood and growing up and this topic came up.

One of our younger friends was talking about how when test tube babies first began being discussed on the news. She was aged about 5 or 6 at this time.

At the time she was a youngster and she believed that the babies grew inside these test tubes with the test tubes being replaced by bigger test tubes as the baby grew.

We all chuckled at that.

She was talking to her mother about it one day and asked if she could have a baby brother grown in a test tube so she could take him to school for news.

Her mother had to explain exactly what a test tube baby was.

I was doubtful about the 'keep digging down and you will get to China' story.

When I was a kid, I was convinced that if I took an egg out of the refrigerator and kept it warm, it would eventually hatch.  So one day I wrapped an egg in a towel and put it under a lamp with visions dancing in my head of having my own pet chicken. I planned to name it either Henrietta or Skippy.

Well, I guess my mother wasn't the brightest bulb in the box either, because when she found out what I was doing, she started yelling at me that she didn't want any chickens in the house.
