I used to believe disneyland was under my sister bed. I was well dissapointed when I found out she was lying!

When I was little my mom and her neighbor used to go repelling off cliffs. Me, my brother, and the neighbors kids all stayed at the top of the cliff (I was the youngest, around 4 or 5 so I was tied to a tree with a harness and a leash)
One time, one of the neighbors untied me and sprinkled dirt in my hair and told me it was fairy dust from tinkerbell and that I could now fly. Luckily my mom was standing between me and the edge of the cliff and caught me when I tried to run off it.

When I was five, I really admired my six-year-old cousin and believed everything she said. One day she had received a toy doctor's set, with a stethescope, nurse's hat, tongue depressors, bandages and a plastic pair of scissors. When I asked what they were for, she told me they were used to cut off patient's fingers if they weren't able to fix them. For years I refused to even pick them up in case I accidentally lopped off a finger.

I used to believe that when ever you lied, a small part of your heart turned black. When your heart was completly black, you had a heart attack and died.

I also used to believe my mom when she told me that there is a special bone in the pinky that could be felt only if you lied.

I believed for some time that a store in our town, "Toys Topless", was a convertible car accessories store, as my mom said when I asked (even though it had blacked out windows and creepy guys walking into it).

My older sister told me that eating potato chips would make me pregnant.......and I was afraid to eat them. I actually believed her until I was 10yrs old and realized she didn't know everything.

When i was in kindergarden, a friend of mine told me multiple lies. One that stood out was that a robber came and tried to rob his house. however he stopped the burgler by beating him up...he told me that he made pee come out of a different hole. When i told my parents this at dinner, they yelled at me.

Batman

When I was little my sister would tell me that if i was lying she would pull out what really was: a little Barbie sewing machine and give it a map that showed where I was and shoot out a huge boxing glove and punchmy teeth out one by one. She called it "the Truth Machine" I believed it for years!!

when i went through my 'lying stage' at about 3 years old, my mom figured out a way to stop me of it. She would say that if she knew I was lying that my tongue would turn blue. So, when I would lie (which is obvious at 3), my mom would say, 'Let me see your tongue'. She would say, 'Yep, just as I thought, you were lying'. Then, I would look in the mirror and there it was - a big blue tongue.
Everytime she would say let me see your tongue, she would touch it with her finger which had blue food coloring on it. After a couple of times, she would not have to catch me in a lie bc I would give myself away by looking in the mirror before I did lie.
I stopped the incesant lying.

I believed my Daddy when he told me if I sat on a coconut long enough, it would hatch a baby monkey! I tried for months but obviously no success...lol. Almost forty years later and I still think of baby monkeys whenever I see a coconut. :)

When i was little, me and my sister were riding in the car with our mom. From the highway, we could see all the tall buildings of Baltimore. Our mom pointed to one of them and told us it was the Masonic Temple. She said the Masons were a religeous cult, and every year they threw a live sheep off the top of the building as initiation for the new members. We both believed it for years after that.

It wasn't until i was 15 and i asked her if they had to close the street when they threw the sheep off, that i found out it isn't true. She laughed so hard at me, before telling me it was just made up.

save the sheep!!

My mother tells me that when I was about 2 or 3, I came running into the house crying desperately saying "I am NOT a lion! I am NOT a lion!" and I would NOT be calmed down.

She took me outside to where the neighbor kids, all older, were playing in the sandbox.

I had apparently told them it was MY sandbox and they had to leave, to which Edward replied:

"You're lyin'!"

We went to the beach for a week once, and my cousins and me were going out to the boardwalk to go on rides and stuff. My youngest cousin was too young to go, and so we told him we were being forced to go to the broccoli museum. He laughed at us when we got back because he got to stay home and play cards with my grandmother while we were forced to eat broccoli. ^_~

My older brother used to tell me i was born from a test tube that dropped...then had to be swept up from the floor!

When I was about 9 my friend told me that she used to have a twin sister called Abby who dies when she was little, but I couldn't say anything to her mum about it because she would get really sad and start crying. So for many years I believed her and gave her mum a sad sympathetic look whenever I saw her!

This happened when i was seven. My EVIL ten-years-older-than-me brother told me that he was actually a really big three year old. His other seventeen year old friends agreed with him, so i believed him.

I suddenly got the idea that i was negative-seven years old because my parents said he was ten years older than me.

Yes, i did the math all wrong. I was only seven!

Anyway, i started freaking out because i thought that i was'nt even born yet... maybe i was a freak of nature? That made me belive a whole lot of other things that made absolutley no sense.

All because of my brother. -.-;

It wasn't actually one of my beliefs, but one of my work colleagues was told by his Dad that it was the law that you weren't allowed to have a full pudding until you were 13 years old. Another friend grew up believing that giraffes were called kangorillapigs, and that her Dad could only count to 3, which was the number of beers he always claimed to have had on a Sunday afternoon.

When I was younger, my dad told me that if I whistled, I would attract snakes. After that I stopped whisteling until I found out it wasn't true.

My dad told my brother that they bought him at Sears and the box was still in the garage. If he didn't behave, they were going to pack him up and send him back! He believed that for years!
