When I was a kid (I’m guessing 5), there was a house nearby where my grandma lived which had a statue of a small dog outside their house. The eyes on this statue were made of glass, and looked incredibly real. I remember standing there staring at the thing, extremely tempted to try and touch the eyes just so I could convince myself that the thing wasn’t alive 🤣. I probably stood there for about 5 min before I finally got the courage to touch it and realized it was just glass.
I was convinced that thing was going to bite me when I touched it.
When I was in 5th grade, I was worried about vampires, so I started wearing a cross. But I was an atheist and I didn’t want anyone to think I was a christian, so I also wore a star of david.
That took a turn! And what did people think about you then?
