What I Used To Think

What did I used to think?

I thought Brown-Eyed Girl was by the Rolling Stones.

I thought Pokemon was a Jamaican porno.

I thought Javelins only came in orange.

I thought Mr. Rogers should just leave the damn sweater and sneakers on.

I thought Herbie the Love Bug was the next step towards flying cars.

I thought I saw that guy from Electric Company in the movies.

I thought I was in love.

I thought I was in love again.

I thought baseball was boring unless I was playing it.

I thought we should have waited in line to see that blockbuster Pink Panther movie.

I thought it was normal for a 9 year old to mow 2 acres with a riding lawn mower even thought there were gullies.

I thought it was normal for a 3 year old to wander all over an apartment complex.

I thought it was normal for a 7 year old to have his first real kiss with a half-Italian girl behind the propane tank, and never forget her or her name.

I thought I should touch the electric fence many times just to be sure.

I thought it would be too embarrassing to lose my virginity right in front of her parents’ house the day before she left.

I thought it was a strong recovery to lose it instead to a 20 year old college chick.

I thought this post would be more funny, and less a reminiscent discourse.

I thought I was ready for an instant family.

I thought I was ready for more kids.

I thought it was time to get a house.

I thought everything would fall into place.

And I still think that!
