When i was about five i believed that when you stared at a bright light for a long time then looked away the coloured lights before your eyes were faires,i explained this to my sister my mum walked in one morning to find us jumping up and down on my bed trying to catch them.

When I was young I used to believe that the tooth Fairies all lived under the holly tree in my garden and used my teeth for their furniture, but whenever I tried to see them under there they had just popped out. They were out alot suprisingly.

I was putting my daughter to bed one night at the age when she was not only losing teeth, but also her belief in the tooth fairy. As I left her room, she told me, "Now don't forget my tooth!" I told her that was the tooth fairy's job to remember, not mine, but she insisted that the tooth fairy and I were one and the same. I asked her if I *looked* like the tooth fairy, for goodness sakes, and she replied, "Well, you put on a costume." It was really hard for me not to crack up laughing!

When we were young, me and my younger brother were told by our elder sister, that she has a special gift from Moon. A silk blanket woven by the old woman on moon. She convinved us both that we are not eligible for such great gift from moon and wouldn't let us touch her specail blanket. We believed it for years.

I had always wondered if a secret civilazation of elves liveing under the couch.
Then I found out elves live in the forest and fairies live under the couch.

I know your under there!

I thought that there were elves in my pillow so the pillow case flap had to face the outward side of the bed. they never did harm just didnt want em crawling around.

To this day when i find i cant sleep, i check "the pillow case flap" and its usually facing INWARD. I turn it around and i fall right asleep. lol... go figure.

When I was little and we went for assembly in the big hall at Primary school, there were windows that the sun shone directly through when my class sat down, I could see little dust particles floating about, I actually belived they were faeries, when the "faeries" landed on people I thought the child was "choosen" for something and after assembly I would go up to some people the faeries had landed on and say to them you have been choosen, I left then VERY confused as I walked away.

When I was a child, I read the book "Peter and Wendy" (Peter Pan) by J.M.Barrie. I wanted Peter to come get me and take me to Neverland. I used to keep my bedroom window open whenever I could do it without getting caught, thinking that he and Tink could arrive for me at anytime. My mom caught me with the window open once and made me shut it. I was convinced she knew about Peter Pan and made me close it because she didn't want him to take me away. lol

I used to believe in tooth fairies and I thought they would leave you presents under the pillow. One time I got a letter from a tooth fairy and it wasn't till I was older that I found out it was from my dad. All my beliefs are now shattered.

I believed that fairies lived in lamp posts - their front doors were the little holes where the key fits.

I used to believe that if you were very quiet and snuck up on a mushroom and looked under it, you would find a fairy and she would give you a present if you didn't scare her away.

when i was little i was scared of the tooth fairy, so i kept a metal baton by my bed just in case i saw her in the night.

My family visited Ireland when I was about 7, and I insisted on bringing a shoebox with airholes with me everywhere in case I was able to catch a leprechaun.

My best friend used to always tell me these weird stories, and I'd always believe them. For a long time we believed in the "SHOE FAIRY" - if you threw your shoe on the roof, the shoe fairy would come and bring it back down, so one day we tried it. The only thing that happened was we got in trouble for throwing our shoes on the roof.

When I was 7, mom began playing 'fairy' for me. She'd draw me cards, write letters, leave small gifts... I believed until I was eleven. Now, reading through those old surprises, I have to laugh at how many times "be a nice girl and tell your daddy to buy mommy..." comes up in them.

When I was a young child, I lost a tooth one day at school. I decided to test the Tooth Fairy theory by not telling my parents about the lost tooth - until the next morning, when I went up to my mother crying because the Tooth Fairy didn't leave me any money.

Her excuse was that I didn't look hard enough, and sure enough when I went back ten minutes later there was a dollar bill sitting squarely under my pillow.

When i was little my best friend told me there was a different tooth fairy for each street. She said that her block had Tinkerbell and that my tooth fairy wasn't as good. At four years old, this was devastating news, and I wanted to move on my friend's block so I could have Tinkerbell.

Whe I was wee I had a fear of faries and flowers, which, as you can imaginge, is odd for a wee girl. Here is the reason why.

When I was begining to read, my auntie bought me a lovely little book about a fairy village, but instead of houses, they lived in flowers.

Why, would this scare me you ask?

When I was 2, my brother was showing of infront of his friends and told me that if you went any where near faries the would jump out and kill me with a big knife then set me on fire.

nice.
