Do you remember thinking anything in particular as a child that was huge and profound to you then because you were young?

For me it was when they were talking about the end of the world again and I was young thinking well I'm not going to make it to 30 so there's no point thinking about marriage or kids...lol

Landing on the moon. I used to get up at 4am to watch every liftoff - Gemini, Apollo. Magnificent machines, heroic men. Probably why I'm an engineer.

@Primnproper it actually delayed my schooling because I didn't see the point. I remember watching a show at the time and this couple literally went out and bought everything brand new since they wouldn't have to pay it off! Haha.

@Hamyamyak I know that's it though isn't it they don't consider what it going through our children's minds when they hear this stuff..

I was in 5th grade and we learned about the greek gods and how they were created by man to explain all the things that people could not. I was really confused because up until that point God and heaven I had never even thought to question but I couldn't help but think that these two situations seemed really similar. I asked my teacher and she told me that science proved that those gods were false whereas todays God was real. It wasn't until a conversation with my Dad did I understand she wasn't being entirely truthful.
