i used to believe that the world couldn't have possibly started before i was born.

I used to believe that animals could understand me and that one day I'd posess the power to be an animal like them

Elly

A girl in my class believed that I was a undercover ape. In pre school I played that I was a gorilla swinging in the trees and beated my chest while I shouted like Tarzan. I also ate a lot of bananas and other fruit as well as nuts. It was cleared up when she told her mum and she called over to my mother to tell her the news.

As a four year old girl I went on a Ride to the Moon with my dog. I always believed I had been there and that my dog was the first dog on the moon, because my mother said so. I even had a fight at school defending that belief.

Tojo Melville

i thought that when i passed down a street, it would be rolled up and packed away,untill next time i had to go that way,i would often turn around quickly to try to catch them doing it---i nearly cought them a few times---i think----they were quick

When I was about 7, I was convinced I was going to grow up and become Barbie. I would lie in bed fantasizing about my long blonde hair, my curiously pointy feet, my blue eyeshadow and thinking it was only a matter of time.

Julia

When I was a kid, I used to believe I was batgirl and that I could fly. Learned out the hard way that I really wasn't, when I put on my cape, climbed on top of the bathroom sink and dove head first into the tub... cracking my skull open. OUCH that hurt!

Chicky

I was convinced that before I turned 19, I would transform back into a mermaid and return to my home in the sea. After seeing The Little Mermaid when I was 5, I just knew that I was in fact a mermaid. I turned 19 a few months ago and was crushed when I wasn't sent back home.

Hannah

That I was the only human on earth and everyone were aliens or something so i would not go near anyone until i was 10. ( the doctors actually thougth i was a mental case)

Reece

I believed that Girl Scouts could arrest people as the police could, and that Boy Scouts could go to war. It was a very exciting day when I became a Brownie.

Amy

When I was in 1st grade- 3rd grade I used to belive that there was another world inside my desk; like the erasers were cars and the pencils were people and that my pencil case was a mall and so on. So whenever I cleaned my desk I'd make sure there was enough room for my pencil's to drive the erasers around my desk. I thought that I was their god and that Earth was also some kids desk to, so I was always nervous when getting dressed and stuff. I don't know how I came up with this

Nikki

If I swallowed anything while looking at someone, I'd gain their qualities and be more like them. I still have trouble swallowing while looking at anyone I don't like.

Anon

I used to believe that pictures and posters could see me. So whenever I did something private in my room, I turned all my pictures upsidedown and took down my posters.

My younger sister went through a very long phase of pretending she was a dog. She would wear a dog collar and wanted to be led around by a leash. My grandparents were terribly concerned about this but no one would tell me why as I knew she was just pretending. It finally dawned on me when I was old enough to understand masochism. Luckily my sister is now a veterinarian!

-ik

Up until I was about 11 years old I believed that Queen Elizabeth was my real mother and that I had been adopted as a baby. No, I didn't just believe it - I was certain of it. When I saw my baby book I thought it was a lie. I have no idea where this came from.

dannie

When I was really little I used to think I was stronger than everyone except my dad and everyone should be greatful that I was such a nice guy and didn't want to hurt anyone.

Sam

when i was a kid i use to think i was the only human and everyone else around me was a robot for some reason i just had a gut feeling it was true

jeremy

When I was 7 my older brother and sister told me my parents found me in a garbage can and adopted me because they felt bad. I asked my mom, and unfortuntely she agreed. It wasn't until I was about 11 that my mom told me it was just a joke.

Jessica

I live in the South of England, but when I was quite young I saw a sign for a bank, The Bank Of Scotland. For a long time I was convinced that I actually lived in Scotland, and the whole of the world was conspiring against me to make me think I lived in England, although I could never figure out why they would choose me, and why a big important bank would not bother to change their sign!

Gemma

When I was...oh, I don't know, maybe seven or eight, I looked in a mirror and saw that my back curved forward at the base, so my upper body was a bit farther forward than my lower body. I was convinced that I was turning into a centaur, and was very excited until I told my mother and she explained that I just didn't stand straight. I also thought that shoulderblades were actually wings starting to grow (I think I read this in a book and thought it made sense) and wondered if the reason they never became wings was because it was happening slowly, through evolution.
