my mum told me she had heard an interview with santa on the radio where he had admitted that he didnt come down peoples chimneys at all but in fact visited every police station in the land to collect skeleton keys which would enable him access to every home in the land in order to leave all good boys and girls their appropriate presents.
this information meant i willingly suspended disbelief for an extra couple of years
also ended up quite traumatised when i moved out into my own home , thinking the police could get the keys back off santa and gain access any time they wanted

One year I found a kiddy tool kit under the Christmas tree, in it was a hacksaw (mistake). I set to work that day and eventually cut the back fence in half, we lived in a large property so my parents didn't realise. The same night there was a big police chase that ended in our street, I believed that the ten police cars were coming for me due to the fence shenanigans and not the armed robbers who had shot a cop. I quickly fessed up to my parents since I didn't want to go to jail, I escaped a criminal record but had my new hacksaw confiscated.

I used to believe that TV show ratings were actually law. Once I accidentally started watching an 'adults only' movie but turned it off after about five minutes, I spent the rest of the day worrying that the police were after me since I wasn't an adult.

Arguing with my friend Chris in Primary School, he told me his dad (who was a Policeman at the time) would come into school and arrest me.

My dad was a farmer. I - for some bizarre reason - retorted with the idea that my dad would run Chris over with a steamroller.
