funny memory..

I had a friend who lived down the street when I was in elementary school..

One day he heard his parents say their neighbor was an alien.

She kind of lived in a weird shaped brick house with a flat roof instead of a slanted roof like the rest of the whole street.. So we were suspicious. Then one day we went and rang the doorbell and ran.. and an old Italian lady came out and started yelling at us in Italian. We'd never really heard Italian before so we thought she really was an alien!

So we were always scared to go near that house from then on because she might have tried to abduct us and take us to her home planet.

hahah.. yea, we were always romanticizing things we didn't understand. But that's what makes childhood fun I guess. I still kind of do it sometimes just for my own amusement. It's not as real as it used to be but it's still fun to make up little constructions of things. I guess that's what you do when you don't have anyone to talk to..

I also just remembered the guy who lived next door to our babysitters house.. we thought he worked for the CIA and had a bomb shelter.. ..but maybe another time..
