I used to believe…

eleven years ago I used to believe that there were monsters under my bed!! I was really scared and i couldn't sleep!

when I was little, I used to believe people were under my bed and would kill me ! They caught my foot and were going to pull me ! I have believed this since I saw a horror movie. I am still afraid.


When I wassix years old I believed that ther was a doll who had not eyes but holes instead, under my bed and I was afraid to go to bed every night.

when I was young I used to believe that I had to use toilet paper when I finished having a shower!!

When I was little I was convinced there was a monster under my bed. If I stepped down by my bed, then the monster would grab me, and that would be the end of me! Well, to avoid this, I kept a board by my bed, and when I had to get out of bed at night, I would set it up like a ramp so that I could climb out of bed without being next to the bed. This didn't last long, because I stole the board out of my daddy's shed, and he needed it for something.... but for a short while, I had protected myself!

i used to believe that mirrors were a doorway to another world.



I still think i have a twin. :-)l(-:

When I was 6, I was afraid to go in my aunt's closet because I once saw the ghost of a little boy inside it. Some years later, I looked inside with a flashlight only to find a mirror in the back of the closet.

because my bed was up high in my room but it wasnt a bunk bed it just had my wardrobe under it but there was anough room to for someone to stand under, so i thought that when i got up in the night to go to the loo a man would be standing under there and when i came back to get up into my bed is when he would get me so i would run as fast as i could into my room and climb up the lader really fast and would hurt myself alot of the time.

I have no idea where she got this, but my little sister (who's four) took it into her head that umbrellas were really called rain-a-bellas. Now everyone in my family uses that word instead of boring old "umbrellas".

I'm 14, and up until this year I thought that at Christmas time when they said "trimming the tree" they actually meant trimming the tree with shears to make the branches more even or something. I wondered why they sang about that in songs...

when i was little, i used to believe that a "self cleaning oven" meant just that...i imagined robotic arms and soap bubbles coming out of the inside of the oven scrubbing the walls and racks...and then water spraying to rinse it and then all of it neatly dissapearing again when it was finished. i never saw what really happened because my mom would never let us near the kitchen when she was cleaning because of the chemicals. she kinda laughed when i told her one day but also seemed very slightly annoyed that she never got credit for working so hard to clean it all those times cause i thought it was automatic!!

I believed that if you left a electric plug socket on the house would catch fire BUT if you rubbed toothpaste into the wall around it, you'd be safe.

My mom used to talk about "luke-warm water"--you know, medium temperature water--for my bath or something and I thought she was saying "luke-warmed"--warmed by a little guy named luke who lived inside the tub. I actually believed this until I was 8 and I asked my mom what she meant.

When I was young I used to believe that when you take a shower the water was recycled, so I did'nt dare pee in it because I didn't want to wash or drink pee!

My great-uncle Ben (who was actully a friend of the family) died when me and my brother were quite little. We used to think that if we got to the attic, then we would be able to see him. We weren't aloud to go to the attic, so we designed some contraptions to get us up there. I put some food (camernbert cheese) in a bag, incase we were there for a long time, but the cheese went off!
We also used to beleive that the heater under the stairs was his heart, because it was coverd in red plastic, but it couldn't have been, because it was the same size as him!

When we were children we somehow believed that we could dig tunnels under our house. Not only did we think that we could accomplish this, but we thought we could connect our tunnels to our cousin's house in a different state. We were so excited for the time when we could simply walk through the tunnel to their house in a short time instead of having to drive 6 or 7 hours.
We spent an entire summer working on this project and never got beyond a three foot hole.
