at home

I used to believe that you need special access to adjust the thermostat in the house, or the house would explode.

when i was little my older sister told me that if you open your eyes in the dark you would immediately go blind. for the longest time when we played hide and seek i would only hide in light places (horrible hide and seek strategy) and when i finally worked up the courage i would hide in dark places but keep my eyes squeezed shut really tight until she found me. i didnt open my eyes in the dark until i was about 13

When I was little I had a very vivid imagination. I used to think that there was a little dwarf who lived near my nightlight, a strange witch couple who lived in my closet, a three headed dog and mice who lived under my bed. It made for sleep being quite difficult.

I used to believe that the plastic cups in my house had a family of cups and they did'nt like to be on the same shelf in the cupboard as the glasses because they kept to themselves. ha

When I was little and my dad would start a fire, he told me he had to take the logs with him everywhere he went and blow on them until they had enough oxygen to explode into a fire. I believed him for the longest time.

When I was a kid I loved the show "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (the live-action disney channel show). Alice walked through her mirror to get to Wonderland, and I remember I kept trying to walk through my mirror like she did! I was quite disappointed when I never worked!

i always wondered how 'stuff' got its name. i imagined god sitting on a stool next to a pile of 'stuff' with a few angels scratching their heads in wonder. they would pick up an item and declare, "this will be called toilet paper" and "from now on this is a pan" and "this is taffy and it is sweet".

I used to believe that if you looked away from the mirror and looked back fast enough, you could see yourself looking away.

When I was little I used to think the bath tub would suck down my wash cloth when my mom went to drain the water. She never did figure out why I screamed every time she pulled the plug.

My brother told me that if I slept with my feet uncovered the boogie man would come and take you away. I still can't sleep without a blanket over my feet no matter how hot it is

when i was smaller and had the fan on, the curtains would move, and i could swear i had magical powers that could move stuff, but only curtains cuz they werent heavy

I used to believe that both the ghost of Abraham Lincoln and the ghost of my dead hamster lived in my closet. They had a lot of fun playing with each other all the time, and if I was playing alone I would often chat with them.

My dad got the most post in our house (mainly bills of course!) and it all came in those plain white envelopes with the plastic window so you could see the printed address. I therefore believed all post I sent got changed into those envelopes at the post office, so refused to use a letter writing set with pictures on the envelopes when I wrote to my grandma in Australia.

when i was little i used to believe that when you got directions from someone over the phone, instead of just writing it down, i thought a little piece of paper with the directions on it came out of the phone.

When I was little i was at the babysitters house and standing on the patio looking at the grass, for some reason i said it looked like the sea. So they all told me it was and that there were sharks in it. Being about 3 years old, i believed them and didnt touch the grass for months.

I used to believe that matches would spontaneously burst into flames if I or any other kid touched them. They were these scary things that only adults held the power to control. That Smokey the Bear had me scared.
