“What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve believed?” My collage room mate Halie suddenly asked me it wasn’t unusual for her to ask me random questions like that she did it quite often and it was just one of her personality quirks

“I don’t know I never really thought about it before” I said with out looking at her

“Oh come on you can think of something” she said I did turn to look at her then she was sitting crosslegged on her bed looking at me with her head tilted slightly her blonde hair in pigtails her baby blue eyes wide she was dressed in her sleep wear which consisted of a white t-shirt and boy boxers

I sighed “I don’t know just stupid kid stuff like Santa and the tooth fairy stuff like that”

“Oh come on you can do better than that”

“Well when I was really little I had a clown puppet hanging up in my bed room but it made a scary shadow on my wall at night and I was afraid it would come to life grab me and carry me away”

“Really for me it was just that I thought my grandma never ate at least I never saw her eating when I was a kid I mean once I hit pre-teens I saw her eat and was old enough to know that just because you don’t see somebody do something doesn’t mean they don’t”

“Yeah and by the time I hit age 8 I realized how silly my fear was”

“Ha what childish beliefs”

I nodded in agreement “childish beliefs”
