5 things I believed when I was 8.

1. That Carol Burnett and Lucille Ball were the same person.
2. That cursing would send me straight to hell (and I couldn't say hell for fear of going there.)
3. That JC Penny was the coolest store and all of the best-dressed 3rd graders shopped there.
4. That the Earth's a big blue marble when you see it from up there.
5. That a sno-cone was the greatest treat in the world and a worthy celebration of a Little League win.
