When I was 5 we moved for the first time, I was under the impression that when you moved you just switched houses and couldn't take anything with you. So I filled my pillowcase with toys and asked my mom "I know I can't take everything, but can I just please take these toys at least."

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

I used to believe that I was the only person alive because when others died I stayed here. I figured that if I died they would all end.

johnboy

I used to believe that I wasn't a normal girl but a real princess. I was just waiting someone to "discover" me and take me to my Royal Life. And then everyone around me would get surprised!!!

Dina Aparício (Portugal)

When I was about 8 years old that I was the best footballer of all time in the whole world. Well that proved quite different.

Once, Sharon, Lois and Bram (a TV show) went to the Toronto Zoo. I had been to the Toronto Zoo. Therefore, I assumed I must be famous since I'd been to a place that was on TV.

When I was 5 or so, I thought there was a boy on the exact opposite side of the world. He and I could never never never (repeat "never" a few hundred times) be asleep at the same time.
So when I over slept, he got to stay up late, and when I stayed up late, he got to oversleep.

zzzzzz man

I used to think I was a bird. I thought this because every time my mom bought the squiggly kind of pasta, I pretended they were worms and I was eating them. So one day my mom made me the squiggly pasta for a snack and I went inot my sister's room and said "I'm eating worms!!" and she said "Only birds eat worms". I TOTALLY believed her and proceeded to put on my angel wings from last year's halloween costume and make a nest for myself in the corner of the couch.

Bird Brain

When I was 10, I half believed that on my 11th birthday I was going to get an acceptance letter from Hogwarts. When it didn't come, I told myself there had been a mix-up and I would get my letter a year late.

guess I really am a Muggle

Until I was in 5th grade, I was absolutely convinced that I was a Pegasus queen from another planet, sent to earth for some reason that I couldn't remember because I had amnesia from falling on my head when I landed.

The_Only_Nighthawk

I used to believe that I had to treat myself fairly: If I tapped one foot I'd have to tap the other, if I itched one ear I'd have to itch the other; and i'd end up making elaborate itching patterns up just so I'd be ''equal''. Also, everything had to be centre, if I itched my nose and it was slightly off-centre I'd have to itch the symmetrical place... Maybe it was a form of a COD or something, but I used to get real annoyed with myself for it. I sometimes still do it!

Tash

I used to believe I was a dog on the inside and a human on the inside. Until I was about 5, I would crawl around on my hands and knees making barking noises. My grandma's dog was also my brother. I also used to think that I could change into a horse whenever I felt like it, so I used to prance around neighing.

Gwenna

My mum used to tell me that when i was naughty it was because the invisible naughty worm was inside me, so whenever we were going out somewhere i would have to squeeze the worm out of the top of my head and hide it behind a photo of myself. Because i used to believe everything my mum said i thought it was the naughty worm misbehaving not me!

Claire Ponteland (UK)

I used to believe that my family were all millionaires but my two brothers, my sister and myself were being brought up in an ordinary household so we could be taught the real value of money and did not grow up spoilt. I remember thinking that my mother would tell us all when we turned eighteen. I must have believed this until I was at least twelve because I was sure that my brother and sister, who are both over six years older than me, already knew and were keeping the family secret from me.

Lachlan

When I was a kid I thought I was special and was the only person that could see the clouds moving across the sky

Pochacco

I used to believe that there was a committee of people whose entire purpose was to watch my every move and analyse me. There were hidden cameras everywhere I went and I was always being watched. It never bothered me, I would sit in my room and tell them stories. My mom would always yell at me and tell me to stop talking to myself. I never told anyone I was really talking to "them".

Charity

When I was in pre-school, I was absolutely sure that when I turned around people would pull down zippers on their backs and show their true disgusting green sliming dinosaur-like exteriors and then try to eat me.

If you knew me as a kid, no one was out of my sight for more than five seconds.

Bryan

I used to think I was really some sort of a freak experiment where I was once a monkey, but changed into boy. I even had matching wrinkles on the inside of both heels where they cut my “thumbs” off. I was waiting for the day when my parents would finally admit it to me. I think I was excited of the possibilities.

Tarzan

When i was little i used to think that i was the only normal person in this world and that my parents weren't my true parents and that my real ones were in jail cause they got a child that was normal. and that every time i started coming close to someone they would say, "look meagan's coming!" and quickly put their human mask on. i have no idea where that one came from. :)

Anon

i used to believe that other human beings didn't actually have lives, and that everyone I saw out of the car window was an actor paid to star in the story of my life
