When my mother was a little girl, she thought that eerything was named after its inventor. So there was a Mr. Chair, a Mr. Lamp, a Mr. Toilet...
As a child, my mum used to give me a bath before bedtime, and I would try to stay in there as long as possible, even after mum had pulled the plug out and the water had started to drain away, all so that I could stay up that little bit later. Well, mum decided that to get me out of the bath quicker, it would be a good idea to tell me that once the plug had been pulled out of the bath, crocodiles would escape out of the plughole and eat me up if I was still in the bath! To this day, I cannot stay in a bath once the plug has been pulled out! (Not that I believe her anymore, but I think psychologically the fear of the plughole has stayed with me!!).
There were alligators under my bed.

When I was little I believed that when mommy pulled the plug in the bathtub after taking a bath I would be sucked in.
I have no idea where I got this, but for the longest time I adamently insisted that there was a camera behind the air conditioning grills on the walls. One day, I finally outsmarted whoever was spying on me and changed clothes right next to the wall -- just out of the camera's view.

As a child I lived in a cottage with a bath in the kitchen on the ground floor. One day a bee crawled up the plug hole from outside. My sister and I (we were 3 and 5 at the time) were bathed together and from then on neither of us would be last out of the bath as we believed the bees would get us when the plug was pulled.
My Mum always told my sisters and I that we couldn't have chocolate decorations on the Christmas tree because the fairy lights would melt them. It wasn't until I was much,much older and had my own Christmas tree,I realised that wasn't true. When I told my mum about my discovery, she just laughed!

The sea was there because I left a tap dripping all night.
When i was little, i used to wonder what happened to 'upstairs' when no-one was around to see it...I thought things were only there if someone was looking at them. Therefore, when you walk down the stairs, upstairs vanishes until the next time somene walks up there...
