When my much-older-than-me big sister was fired from Orange Julius, my mother said it meant she didn't work anymore. For years I thought that meant my sister would never get another job.

I thought this too. Then we got a male cat.

how did your sister get fired

Well, to start with, she hated people and wasn't too fond of Orange Julius, either. One day she brought home an inflatable Orange Julius punching bag that I was supposed to take in the pool. The day she got fired, she punched that sucker into oblivion.

My bedroom was next to a meter of some kind--gas, maybe--that did a Thump-Thump all the time, just like a beating heart. My big sis helpfully told me how an evil witch had been buried there, and it meant she was alive and going to come after me. I spent a lot of nights cowering in my parents' bed before they realized a radio would drown out the hateful heart, To my knowledge it's still beating away, frightening new generations of kids.

I also thought that the tree shadows which would occasionally light up my room whenever a car passed was evidence that the tree shadows chased each other around the house all night long, adhering to the walls.

I forced my sister to take me to a park one time because I wanted to plant a stick because I thought it was going to grow into a tree.

I thought I invented the word "save."

One day my friend and I were running around the house, pointing at random spherical things, and yelling "Ball bearing!" When my dad stopped us and told us there really were ball bearings, we freaked out.
