Lol! I actually thought the moon was made of cheese. XD

No really, I've always wished it was made from cheese! XD

I use to think as a child:

I had monsters under my bed
I though the moon was made of cheese (one time I saw that the moon was big and orange, and I thought it looked like cheese)

I think there were some more...

Hmm, off the top of my head..

My older brother told me my bum would grow square if I watch too much television.. =/ I believed him.
I was convinced Michael Jackson was a woman.
I was terrified of marionettes and (to this day) clowns.
And I believed boys were living incubuses of cooties.

T_T

I'll have to go think to remember the rest..

Hrmmm; where to start? I cannot remember much from my early childhood in terms of being afraid of things or thinking silly things, but I have to have something DD:

Well, I believed that pancakes were really called panny-cakes until I was nine or so. My mom and I had the nickname for them and that's just what I grew up knowing. Unfortunately, I had to find out after getting into an arguement with my fourth grade class on the correct terminology. XDD

Ohh ohh!!! I completely forgot about this. When I was four and five, I grew up with two kids my age and one kid a year older than me. The kid who was older than me suggested that we drink coca cola at my best friends house (one of the kids my age). We took it out, and poured it. I took a sip and the older girl said "WAIT WAIT DON'T DRINK THAT!!!" I took the drink away from my mouth right away and she said "If you drink the fizz, then you'll blow up and die!" not jokingly. ;/ So when I said I took a sip, she told me that I probably wouldn't die, but to never ever do it again. I believed I'd die drinking the fizz until I was seven, and to this day, if I ever drink soda, I wait for the fizz to go down even though I know it's safe.

It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.

At one point, I once thought that the Power Rangers were real, and I actually wanted to become a Power Ranger o____o I never thought that cartoons were real or anything, but since the Power Rangers were acted out by real people, I thought that they were real >.> That only lasted for a month or something, since my brother eventually told me that it was a TV show, and that they weren't real, but I laugh whenever I think about it.

Oh, and I think that I actually wanted my toys to come to life whenever no one was at home. I have no idea why, but the thought of it simply intrigued me, I guess.

I used to watch ET a lot when I was little but I was afraid of aliens. I used to be afraid of some alien coming and taking me away, until my mom told me 'they live in California.' I though I was where I was in New York, but what she really meant was in Hollywood in the movies. My brother an I were so weird when we were little. ^^'

Yeah. Afraid of Santa. D:, everytime I saw him on TV, I'd get sick. I had a little thing, like a blanket, that I would go everywhere with it. I'd go pee with it. When it disappeared, I ran out of home like I was leaving definitively home. D:

I admit, when I was younger, I was deathly afraid of cooties. XD I didn't go anywhere near a female and didn't touch anything they had touched first. But like most children, I quickly grew out of that habit (thank god).

I remember that when I was about five or six, I used to believe that if I concentrated hard enough before falling asleep, I could be in a cartoon. I also thought that if I thought hard enough about a previous dream, I'd have it again. I still try, but I know there's only about a 0.0000000001% chance of it actually happening. (Estimate) I also actually believed that blowing on dandelions (the fluffy kind) would actually give me a wish come true. After I grew out of the dream thing, I tried wishing for Fairy Godparents. xD

I also thought ChalkZone was a real place, but you needed to draw a circle on the chalkboard after regulaer school hours. In afterschool, me and a group of friends would try to go. That hurt.

Um... Okay.

I used to think I was some random 'Chosen One' selected to get myself a group of followers (which I did, about twenty of us) to defeat the evil Dark Masters, which were like demons, if I recall correctly.

My friends and I believed in it for two years, and we had, like, forty members, all who believed. Ah, the silly antics of five year olds.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

I used to believe the exact same thing. I always tried to put myself in a pokemon episode I watched right before bed. Also, I was made to believe that:

(i) Looking at naked women would make you go blind (didn't stop us).
(ii) When it's raining and the sun's out, monkeys are getting married.
(iii) Rain being God's tears.
(iv) Jelly being made out of ants.

That's all I remember for now.

My friends and I did something similar where we all thought we were 'chosen ones' with magic powers, and this other classmate of ours was working for Satan and plotting to take over the world, and that he'd 'rise to power' on 6/6/06. And he was a popular boy that all the girls liked, so we thought he put some kind of magical curse on his nice hair and was using it to attract people to him. And we'd sit in class trying to send telepathic messages to him, and we'd freak the hell out when he even somewhat looked in our direction. And this went on for like a year and a half, and it got incredibly stupid and pissed off everyone who wasn't involved. It was me and three or four other people, and most of the others are too embarrassed to talk about it nowadays. xD

The saddest thing of all? We were about thirteen. We were really bored. .____.;;; Shortly after that came my 'I think I have schizophrenia' phase. I'm mostly better now.

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
I thought so too but I actually took precautions before landing on my face. I had a friend help me create make-shift eagle wings that could fit both of us and were able to glide for a while and we both climbed to the top of a large tree with a set of them and jumped off. I was only able to glide about 10-20 yards before I landed on my face. My friend went 8 yards but he was a bit heavier too. Then we tried with two pairs of wings and we only went about 5 yards further and we kept going until we learned how to land on our feet. By the time we were able to land on our feet, we were covered in scars and grass and went over 20 yards each. It was very fun and it was very painful too. Very, very painful. I still have bruises from it.

Btw, this happened only 6 years ago.

The question was if I had any notions as a child which now seem ridiculous as a more mature, thinking, adult-minded person.

I do find belief in God ridiculous now.

Therefore, what I said makes sense.

I don't really remember my thoughts as I was younger...

I'll just say the basic stuff I remember:

1. That frogs gave warts. That's so like, probably right, I've never actually touched a frog surprisingly so...
2. That... the um... pointy pencil-nosed TV show about a puppet drawing was evil or something.
3. That Pikachu DID call out while at school.
4. That my stuff would feel alone if I didn't put them together... like, pencil and book. Etc.
5. That there really were people that were robots pretending to be humans (that was cause of beyblades.)
6. Well... this is something stange I've always done not really something I believed... whenever I'm in the shower, and I touch the wall, like with my arm, I always have to wet the wall... I have no clue why I still do that.

And I probably forgot things.

I was always convinced that somehow, while I'm swimming in a pool, I'd get electrocuted/bitten by an invisible shark/entered into a strange new world. No more of those XD.
I also had an extreme fear of vampires and thought them to be real for a few years, and thought that wrapping myself up in a blanket completely regardless of how hot the night was the vampire wouldn't notice me when he came to kill me XDDD.
That's all I can recall, though I'm sure there's more : P.
