I'm sure that when we were all so young that we believed in the most trivial and weirdest of things. Kind of like in kindergarten were we thought the opposite sex had cooties.

I used to think that when people "flew" from different places, I thought they were just catapulted to their destinations, and when infomercials said to call the number at the bottom of the screen, I thought they were talking about screen doors. Also, my sister told me that if you whistle while lying down in bed, the ghost beneath you would shake the entire bed.

What about you?
blessed mother. 😈

The classic: monster under the bed

The effing weird: K well when I was like... 5, my cousin was evil and told me at easter, a big, fuzzy white hand would come and take your easter basket away if you went to sleep. This bothered me so I went "D:". Of course being the 5 year old I was, I went to sleep and when there was no easter basket, I cried. I found it a week later under my cousin's bed... They were still there... >.>

Aha, great thread to flush back in the memories.

Well, before I knew anything about aeronautics, still very young... I thought I myself could glide long distances, one day climbed to the top of the tree house, tried to fly landing on my face. Good times, lol. XD

Also, I always believed that needles and doctors were deadly people, and that they consumed people to a place called the "E.R." It was pretty silly, though to this day I'm still scared of needles.

Another was the horrific belief of raptors, I saw jurassic park then couldn't sleep for a month and other long times of no sleep cause of it. I always thought they missed some of them, and that were out there. I always thought raptors were in the area, scared me every night. @[email protected]

Pretty silly when I look back on it.

I did this, too. I had a whole flight posture. I tucked in my legs and put my arms out and jumped off the back of my couch. Onto the wood floor. Without catching myself.

Another crazy thing I thought was that if I swallowed a metal ball bearing, I'd be able to breath fire. Never actually managed to swallow one, though. My fear of pills overcame my desire to breath fire XD

Ahh, the good old days when you thought there would be someone or something hidden in the dark corners of your room! I always thought a guy was out there, trying to kill me. I always slept with my lights on, and kept a stick beside me till I was 8! XD

And when I first say Batman, I got scared! o_O
Come on, I was like 4? Dad finally told me, that he was a good guy, he put on that mask to scare the bad guys! Oh how happy I was! A new hero was born in my list! lol

Yeaaa...those were the days XD

Let's see....I was afraid of monsters in the closet or under my bed.

I thought clouds were snow waiting for winter to come so they could fall. XD

Which reminds me, I also thought rain drops were God's tears falling from the sky! o_O

When I was three, my father allowed me to look through the telescope at the full moon. I freaked out because of the "man in the moon", and it took me fifteen years until I was able to look at the moon through a telescope again.

Continuing my space thoughts, I always believed that aliens would come down from the sky and abduct me. And one night, when I was either three or four, I had a dream where an alien was in my closet. The fear has kind of stayed with me to this day, though it's more of a joke now.

When I was younger, I thought the greatest job in the world would be the one I have now: bag girl at the local grocery store. I have come to find out that I was completely wrong on that one.

XD From about 5 - 9 years old I was scared of ghosts. I was scared that they would kill me or something. I hated these ghost stories my friends tell. I always ended up believing them. >.<

I also thought all of my favorite TV shows were real. XD I dream about it and end up thinking it happened.

I'm gonna make it.

I used to think the Bogeyman was real. I thought that if you span round in the mirror a certain amount of times it would appear behind you. So I didn't try that. I also believed in all the ghost stories and Santa. I still believe in ghosts but some stories were just plain stupid if I think about it now.

I pretty much had everything right as a child. I think I'm more confused about stuff now than I was then.

I used to think love was simple.

And I used to think the word 'lack' was 'like', but in a southern drawl. xD

I believed I could break out of jail by hiding a can of RC (off-brand cola that no one likes) in my pants, shaking it up, and spraying it in the cops' faces.

I thought the tree outside my window was a monster.

I thought I could make it snow by writing letters asking for snow and letting them blow away outside. I still do it sometimes, too, even though I know it's completely silly. ._.

I didn't understand marriage at all, and all attempts to explain it to me failed. Not much has changed in that department.

I thought I was the fastest, strongest, smartest, most amazing kid around. That was embarrassing when I actually started hanging around other kids.

I was afraid of the Kool-Aid man and Chunky Beef Soup, because both of them had commercials where they came bursting through walls. I would sit there staring at the wall in terror after the commercial came on.

Yes. I was an interesting kid.

I used to be really paranoid about swimming in pools (or any other kind of water) at night. XD I think that was due to the fact that I watched JAWS at a pretty early age, and always worried that something I couldn't see underwater -- especially a shark -- was going to get me.

I've pretty much outgrown that now, unless I'm at the beach or something. Despite the fact that I love to swim and I'm really good at it, you couldn't pay me to go near murky ocean water. XD It still creeps me out too much!
