random beliefs
I had alligators and cartoon lions under my bed.
We didn't have a chimney in our house. Father Christmas had to come in through the letter box.
My parents have the same birthday, so when I was little I thought that when you get married you both have the same birthday.
I asked my mother where does ham come from. She replied "a pig". I though a pig came to the door and dropped off the ham.
I used to think that 'Nerds' candy (basically sugar coated in flavoring) would make your eyesight poor and you would have to wear glasses, and that was why they often call people with glasses nerds.
The very first time I saw a globe (of Earth, yes) I asked where "College" was located.
Once, when I was 5, my brother and I were swimming in our pool. My fingers were starting to get wrinkly and I showed him. He told me that meant I was turning into an old lady. I cried.
My mom thought that God's name was Ed when she was little. She thought the Lor'd Prayer said "Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hello! Ed be thy name".
My mom told me that if i peed in the pool the water would turn purple and everyone would know it was me who did it. Needless to say i have never peed in the pool!!
I used to believe wild flowers were dangerous because they were "wild." I thought the safe flowers were domesticated flowers.
