The Daily Question

What did you believe as a child
about how the world worked?

Children work things out with whatever they have.

That the people on the radio were inside it. That swallowing a seed would grow a tree in your stomach. That the moon followed the car. That adults knew what they were doing, all of them, all of the time.

Most of it you grew out of without noticing. One or two you held onto far longer than you would like to admit.

So — what did you believe as a child about how the world worked?
