When I was young...There was this strange strange misconception I had.

I watched this show called, "Winnie the Pooh". You see, it is a very interesting show with cute and cuddly (perhaps not furry) characters.

In that particular show, this yellow bear called, "Pooh", would do morning exercises every morning. (yes, not in the afternoon or night, in the morning.) And when he does it...

*Happy children scene*
BGM: Winnie the pooh~ Winnie the pooh~ Winnie dilly silly old stuffed with fluff~ He's winnie the pooh~ (and so on.)

Pooh: I think I'll do some morning exercises...
*stretches up and down to touch his toes*

Then...

*RIIIIPPPP!!!*

His butt rips apart.

Now, at this moment, you must be thinking, "Omgwtf?"

Strangely enough, i wasn't thinking that way when I was younger.

I ACTUALLY BELIEVED IT.

I believed that if you bent down that way, your butt would split open like Mr Winnie's.

Therefore, from that day onwards, my butt felt particularly fragile. Everytime I need to bend and pick something up, I would bend my legs instead of simply bending down. It caused lots of inconvenience and weird stares...but I believed that it was worth it.

Now that I'm older and realized that your butt won't split open from bending forward to pick something, this memory causes embarrassment and laughter in and to me.

Now you see people. The POWER of media on little children. Dear gods, they would even believe the impossible!

So I swear that I should keep my children away from shows like barney and sesame street. We should all just watch national geographic channel. At least it teaches us what a lynx and a hare is. Believe it or not, lots of common sense comes from the National Geographic channel and the Animal World channel.

But for now...I'll just continue to laugh at myself.

And perhaps i would teach a random small child about the wonders of Winnie the Pooh. =)
