random beliefs

My brothers, who (as brothers often do) loved to mess with me, told me that every girl grew up to be a boy and every boy grew up to be a girl. I totally believed it.

Marnie (from people : lies)

I used to believe that the reason I had to hold my Mom's hand while crossing the street was that so if my Mom got hit by a car, she could drag me down under the car, too. I was a strange child.

Anon (from neighbourhood : in the street)

I used to believe my dad was the best male figure in the world and wondered why he wasn't president already.

Ivy :) (from grown-ups : family)

A friend once told me that if I put garlic on my face I would grow more facial hair. I did it for a week until I realized it just burned really really bad and no hair grew.

anon (from body parts : hair)

i used to think that the slogan those old gas stations said "Happy Murdering" instead of "Happy Motoring." it really confused me...

eliot (from transport : cars)

When I was a very small child, for some reason, I pictured God as an enormous, kind looking zebra. Each night, I would say my prayers to a huge zebra! I still have no idea where that came from.

HG (from religion : characters)

When I was a kid, the song "I fought the Law" (I'm not sure who sang it) but I went years beliving it was "I fought the log, and the log one." I thought it was about a lumberjack.

Anon (from music : misheard lyrics)

When we were small my brother wouldn't use the shampoo in our shower because it was for "Permed Hair" and he didn't want curly hair. :)

I used to believe that big grasshoppers would spit tobacco at you if you got too close to them.

Uni (from animals : creepy crawlies)

After my Grandad died, I thought at night he was in my wardrobe, and would be hanging up by a coathanger behind my snorkel parker.
