at home

i used to believe after the bath, when u pulled out the plug and then the water sucked out, i'd get sucked down the drain too.
So i'd always hurry and get out of the room, before i hear that sucking noise.

Actually only a few years ago, I was still a pretty supersticios kid. It was right after 911. Of course, I would take a shower every day. But I learned that osama bin laden was the person that may have set up the 911 attack. I kept thinking that some guy in a turbin was behind my shower curtain, and any moment he would jump in my shower and get me. I remember being sooo afraid to get out of the shower, because I thought there was someone in the bathroom with me. I still get those weird feelings. Sometimes I check thecloset and look behind the curtain before I used the bathroom

I used to believe that their were monsters living in the walls of our house. I got this because one time my dad got very frustrated and punched the wall and accidently made a hole in it. The hole was under my brothers bed and when my brothers were jumping on their bed one day this baseball hat that was sitting on the edge of their bed fell off and went under the bed. One of my brothers got down to pick it up, but it was not there, nothing was under his bed. Thats when he saw the hole in the wall that my dad had made. We still to this day have never seen that hat again. Even after we had emptied out the house when we moved.

When I was little, my family and I would rent a house on the beach in the summer. Every year we would buy kites to fly. My grandmother would tell me and my brother that there were tiny people living on the kites and when we flew them too close to the house, they would jump off and run around on the roof. That was her way of explaining why the roof creeks at night. It was years before I understood the concept of materials expanding when they got hot and contracting when they cooled off as in the roof cooling off at night. Even now, as an adult, when the roof creeks on my own place, I think "Must be those 'Kite People'". LOL

I used to think that there was something called a 'sittit' relating to military equipment, because whenever my mum or daya would come into my bedroom they would say 'this room looks like a bomb sittit'. I thought the toys must have been arranged to look like a cannon or something

my parents didnt want me to stay up late as a little kid, so they told me that at midnight, all the chairs, tables, sofas, and all the furniture get legs and start running around blindly killing things (yes, i now realise how sadistic that sounds), anyway, it never worked, cause as soon as they went to sleep, i went back down to see if that really happend, and was disapointed every night when it didnt...ah well

i used to believe that my favourite book character lived in my wardrobe but was invisible so i would scare my mom when she heard me talking to myself in the wardrobe!! lol :)

I used to believe there was a ventriloquist's dummy under my bed and the head would come out on its stick and bounce around my bed leering and laughing. I was also unable to go to sleep if the wardrobe door or a drawer was even slightly open as I believed this would let ghosts in.

I used to beleave that the plastic cap and the yellow bag hanging in the shower were toys. I had many hours playing wth theese tings. Later I learned they were a shower cap and a douche bag.

after repeatedly hearing the phrase 'shut the door, there's a draft' I quickly decided a draft was a large monster, not unlike a lion, it's apprearance imminent. I always shut the door really fast.

I used to believe that I ad to keep my feet off the floor - either by sitting or standing on the furniture, or else some kind of monster would grab me.
I also thought that when I was in bad I had to tuck the quilt up under my feet so nothing could grab hold of them and drag me away, and that monsters could get me through th gap if my curtains weren't totally closed.
Sometimes I still do all of those things when I'm feeling insecure, and I'm 26 now lol!

I used to believe there were shower monsters that lived in the shower but hid when there was water in the shower or bathtub they hid down the drain because they were alergic to water. My sister told me that i was lucky they hadn't killed me yet. I asked her why and she said because you don't sing when you go to the bathroom. So from then on I sang while going to the bathroom to keep the monsters having too much fun dancing to my music to eat me. Then whenever I went to someones house and had to use the bathrom I would ask them how many monsters were in their showers so i would know how loud I had to sing.

I used to think a monster lived under my bed. When I needed to get up I would stand on my bed and jump to the other side of the room so that the monster couldn't grab my ankle and pull me under.

I useto think that everytime I got off my bed something was going to grab my leg and pull me under.... So I got into the habbit of jumping off my bed so I would land close to the door, then I could just run right out!

There are usually only one drain in a bathtub - the one in the floor. Well, when I was little, the baths had two drains, the second one built-in above the floor one. So since it was always to dark, I used to believe there were rats living in there. Needless to say, I didn't bathe too close to it.

I used to believe that there were mummies underneath my bed. One night when I was really young I was up late one night and was watching one of my favorite shows. The show had mummies in it and they just scared the living daylights out of me. From that night on I would always jump into bed, I wouldn't even walk next to my bed in broad daylight. I still don't like mummies.
