at home

When I was a little child, I was amazed by toasters. I thought that when you put bread in the toaster and pressed the handle down, the "Toast Gnomes" would be very thankful for your bread! In fact, the Toast Gnomes were so grateful they'd give you some toast of their own. I remember using the toaster for the first time ever, then saying "Dank woo Toast Nomez!" My mother was kind of scared that I was always talking to the toaster.

When i was like 8 i thought that the drain for the showers had like a hand that would come out of it when water went down it. I thought that there was a man in the drain that when the water went down it it would wet him and hed get mad and pull me in and beat me up, so i never went close enough to the drain so that he could pull me in.(ended when i was 10)

When i was 13 (I'm 14 now) I asked my mother if houses came with door knobs. cuz i found one in the house but it wasn't on the door. So i thought houses didn't come with door knobs. I still get laughted at 4 that.

When I was about 7 or 8 years old I thought that if I didn't cover my whole body up witht he blanket Freddy Krouger would come and chp off anything out of the blanket. So I would lay there in the hot summer night having bad dreams and sweating all the while becaus I had the blanket over my head!

When i was little I didn't know what being grounded was... well my next door neighbor who is like 4 years older than me (i was like 7 or 8) got grounded for a week and her sister had told me that and i was like oh... ok(not knowing what she meant by that) then i juss kinda left... i had thought katie's parents had buried her in the ground in between our houses... so the next day i was eating an apple and walked past where katie was "buried" so i kneeled on the ground and knocked on the ground "katie? are you there? hello?!" then i took the seeds of my apple and buried them in the ground thinking katie wasnt being fed(after all i hadnt seen her parents out there feeding her) and i thought the seeds would grow right where she was and she would eat the apples that came out of the seed

I used to belive that on the other side of the mirror there were other people just like us from another dimension, and i would spend hours looking at it to see if i see something different.

When I was a kid, we had a package of beeswax in the kitchen, for just what use(s) I don't know. But one time my mother told me that beeswax was wax out of people's ears. So I thought that for a long time. It wasn't until college that I again had enough occasion to encounter and think about beeswax to question what my mother had said. Only then did I get to thinking, from the name, that beeswax might just come from bees, not from human ears.

I was always told there was a boogie man under my bed, getting ready to eat me. I managed to sleep in my own bed, but I was SO afraid to. Then I thought of my own plan. I would jump on my bed so it would hit the boogie man and he'd be injured. I jumped up and down, up and down on my bed. I actually enjoyed it. I had the confidence to sleep in my bed now, but then i felt a grab at my arm. I started to scream, but saw that it was just my older sister, knowing about the whole boogie man thing. She smiled and laughed at me.

When I was younger, around 4 or 5, I used to always think that fire would blaze like crazy if you lit it just in one place. So whenever my mom or dad took out a lighter, I'd run away as fast as I can and made sure that I don't get anywhere near that area until the fire was blown out.

I always used to think that there was a totally different world through the mirror. The reason why we couldn't get through was because the person the looks exactly like you on the other world does the exact same thing. Whenever you poked the mirror to get to the other world, the other person pokes it too, blocking you from getting through.

I used to think that every mirror, window, and every other reflective surface in the world was rigged so that I saw myself differently than anyone else. I can only assume that this would have been done to spare myself the agony of knowing how funny-looking I really - secretly - was.

When I was little, I used to have to stand in my doorway to turn off the light, and as soon as the light was off, I would leap into bed. Everyone knows that if you don't do that, something under your bed would grab your legs! After you jump into bed, you have to cover up really really quick!

I once told my sister when she had swallowed Mouth Wash that her belly was going to blow up and explode. After five minutes, she came back with a 3 of my dads belts wrapped around her belly thinking she was stopping it from happening. How gullable can sisters be???

I used to believe that there were such creatures as gollum off lord of the rings and they would cum and steal my ring off my finger in the night because it was precious coz my nan gave it to me

After seeing the movie, “The Invisible Man”, I was sure when I looked in the mirror and saw only my face, I wasn’t seeing the invisible man because he was invisible and that he was really there. To this day, mirrors have a creepy effect on me.

When I saw ET (Extra-Terrestial) for the first time I was deathly afraid ET. At night, I would sleep with the bottoms of my feet together, afraid that he was going to come tickle them. Also, till this day, (remember the closet scene when ET is looking through it?) I have to close my closet at night (along with my drawers) or else I can't sleep.
