When I was little, a girl that was a couple of years older than me told me that if you touched the fiber glass insulation, that you would itch for the rest of your life, and all day you would be scratching your self and do this crazy dance.

Since I was 7 years old, I used to beleive that the drain in our shower as evil and sucked women in because, whenever my a woman took a bath there (Sister, Mother etc.)There was a Cluster of hair forming at the bottom of the bath, I beleived that if you don't cover the drain at the bottom you will get sucked in.But, If you cover the drain too long the room will explode because the monster is sucking too hard on you.Ever since then I covered the drain with anything I got my hands on.

I used to think that baby showers were just that-the ladies would gather around the new baby and stand it up in the shower for a bath.
One day when I was about 6 my mom asked me to clean some silverware. I had to use a special cream. After a little while I noticed there was a bit of tarnish that I couldn't get off. It was then my mom mentioned that I had to use more elbow grease. I wondered why she hadn't mentioned it in the first place as I was only using the cream. I was a little put off by her lack of detail but immediately started searching all the cupboards and drawers for the grease. I got a complete understanding 20 minutes later when my mother found me rummaging and asked what I was looking for.
When my sister was little she used to believe that Babe the big blue ox lived in our basement and would eat her if she went down there. Of course that's because we told her that. *L*
When I was young I believed that the drain in the back of the sink was to give the sink a drink. Every time that I brushed my teeth, I had to pour some water in the drain so that the sink wouldn't be thirsty.
When I was little I used to believe there were cats under my bed and if I got up durring the night they'd get me.
I used to believe that midnight was the time when the monsters came out.n As a budding insomniac and avid under-the covers (with a flashlight) sci-fi reader, my idea of a monster was somewhere between a vampire and an alien. I used to sleep with my head at the foot of the bed so they wouldn't bite my neck or abduct me.
I thought "toilet water" was used to put into the toilet to make it smell better. Therefore, I put all "toilet water" I could find into the toilet!...That's what the bottle said!
I believed that if I let my arms or legs hang off the bed when I was sleeping, someone under the be would chop them off -- only the offending, hanging off part though, not the entire limb - the cut would be even with the bedside.
When I was a little girl, there was a black and white photograph of a woman standing next to a lake above my closet doors. It was black and white, so seeing shadows was not easy, especially in the dark. I used to stare at it in the darkness of my room and I really thought I could see her turning around in the picture. I don't know what happened to that picture, but I will never forget it.
I used to believe…
for some reason I had to hold my breath when I would walk past the one bathroom at my house. It didn't smell or anything. I just didn't like that bathroom.

My mom always told me never to touch the green Mr. Yuck sticker she had on some medicines.
I was full-heartedly convinced he'd bite your finger right off.
My grandpa used to tell me that there was a bobcat in their cellar. I don’t know why he said this, but I believed him and I was always scared to go down there. It wasn't until years later that I realized he was just teasing me....I think.

When I was about 4 I remember using a mirror to see what I looked like with my eyes closed. Oddly enough I never could. : )
when i was little, i believed that every night when i went to go to the bathroom before bed, there were kidnappers/robbers/murderers outside the window. every night, i would make weird deals with them in my head ("please don't kill me till after i wash my hands") then after i did that i would run like hell to bed.
