when i was in the second grade i was making a necklace with my mom. since i was only about 7 i liked to make necklaces. it was past my bedtime wen i got finished and i showed my older sister the necklace and said "look what i made with mommy!" and she said "only gay people make necklaces with their mommys." i hardly knew what that meant but i knew it was bad so i went to bed and thought i was gay. but i know im no t gay now cuz that was about 10 years ago.

As a child I used to sneak into my Grandparents bedroom and have a look at my Nan's jewellery..... now I thought that they were robbers and stole all the stuff from the jewellery store, so i confronted them about it, to which they just laughed :(

I WAS FOUR WHEN MY BROTHER WAS BORN AND I WAS HELD UP TO THE NURSERY WINDOW TO SEE HIM. IN MY MEMORY, I WAS STANDING & LOOKING DOWN AT HIM IN A HOLE. WHEN I HEARD HE WAS GOING TO GET A SHOT, I ENVISIONED HIM BEING SHOT WITH A MACHINE GUN. THEREAFTER I WAS TERRIFIED OF GETTING A SHOT!

When I was 3 or 4, and my mom told me to go into "time out", I tolded her that I wanted a new mom. So she said ok and called the "new mom store" she said that my new mothers name was Judy and she will be here any minute. So I was crying in my room and the doorbell rang, then I heard a little old lady(a.k.a. my mom) telling me to come out for supper. Then my mom told me that she wasn't real. But then we went to her friend Judy's house and I was scared because I thought that she would take me away!!

I dont want a new Mommy!!!

My dad told me once that he could read my mind just jokin' around, and i belived that for a long time actually now i still belive it!

when i was about 5 i used to believe that my grandmother was really an aligator in a human skin, and when she went home at night alone, (she was a widow) that she would take off her human skin and lick her lips, thinking of who to eat next!

I've always felt a weird connection with my grandfather, who died before I was even born.
So, whenever I played on the swings I thought that he was trying to pull me to heaven.

I used to believe till I was about 5 or 6 years old, that my brother (11) and sister (10) were deaply in love with each other. For what other reason were they together all the time?

I never met my father, so when i was little, even though my friends had dads which i met, i used to assume that there was only like 5 dads in the whole world who fathered us all, and we all belonged to one of the 'dads', but that they gave us away to our actual mums and 'stand in dads'. I used to believe that one of these 'dads' was a statue of a fat butcher outside my local butchers, and that at least two of them were probably psycho killers, and that mine was probably either the butcher or a psycho killer, and I really hoped that it wasn't the later because I would be doomed to take after him since i was nothing like my mum, i must naturally be like my dad.

When I was in kindergarten some kids in our class didn't believe our teacher when she said she had a father. It wasn't until I was five that I knew adults had parents.

ive always wanted to be a twin, and i used to believe that if i was always good, i would somehow become a twin (i always thought that twins were good children who were so good, they got their wish!)

I still, after all of these years, remember the time my Nan rinsed her silver hair with a shade of blue. I also remember thinking that she was an alien replacement that looked very 'human' but forgot to get'human' hair. I think it took a couple of days and a lot of convincing from my Mum to believe that it was really my Nan.
