When I was little I thought there were little men in the street lights that sat there all day and when night came they turned the light on.

whenever i saw a 'to let' sign outside a property i used to believe there was a toilet for sale, and marvel at the large numbers of adults who had difficulties spelling such a simple word!

When I was younger I used to think the Parcel Force were a van full of people that came to your door and forced you to have parcels. I used to be petrified when I saw the van in our street in case they forced me to have a parcel I didn't want.

my big brother and his friend Once told me when I was about 5 that if you didn't hold your breath while passing a grave-yard the Dead guys would come and haunt you.

To this day it is a tradition for me my big brother and my other brother youger than he first one but older than me, to hold our breaths while passing a grave-yard. Because of my best friend I now hold my breath while passing over bridges, and I put my hand on the ceiling of the car while passing Under a bridge. I am 10-years old.

Remember mousey Mouse, Bird brain, Dog ditz and the others? Well I am all of them and I know have an official name for this. Psyco chicken girl.

when i was about 4-6 my uncle told me that if i went on those city weigh scales that it would blow up and i'd die, it wasnt till i was about 12-13 and i rode my bike over it too see if it was safe, it was, so now when im going that way, and not driving, I take a jump off it.

When i was little i used to think that every house owned a street light and every time someone turned their lights on in their home, the street light they owned turned on at night and when it wasnt on someone was out of their house. It did confuse me when the lights were kept on during the day.

Up untill i was about 10 yrs old i used to think that cats eyes (those little reflective things in the middle of the road) were minature gas lamps and every night the old man that lived underneath the road would go along and light every single one individually with a giant match!!

I used to believe that nobody could see me if I was naked outside in the snow because I would blend in.

Whenever my family took car trips when I was young, I believed that instead of the car moving, the world would move for us instead...
I was a very egocentric child.

When I was six I saw the sign at the gas station and it had a picture of a key with an x through it(telling you to turn off your engine) and I thought it looked like a lollypop, and I wouldnt eat lollypops because I would get arrested.

Anyone else think that Emergency Exits were special exits for some celebrity called 'Emer Gency' to use?
