at home

When I was in that "Why" faze all kids go through, and my mom was feeling especially frazzled, she once told me that inside every light bulb there was a fairy, and that sometimes when they burned out, the fairyies exploded, and that was why you could sometimes see a burnt mark on the outside of the lightbulb.

At the risk of feeling stupid, I'm gonna admit that I wasn't all that young when I had this misconception -- after all, bag clips or chip clips haven't been around all that long. Anyhow, I used to be really puzzled about bag clips with magnets on them. The magnets are never strong enough to hold a bag on the refrigerator with any substantial amount of chips or other content in it. So I wondered why they bother to put magnets on the clips if they aren't strong enough to hold a bag on the refrigerator. Eventually I realized that the magnets are to hold empty clips on the refrogerator so they'll be convenient for when you need to put one on a bag, not for hanging actual bags on the refrigerator.

I used to think that a man is under my bed and that if I got out of bed when it was dark he would grab my ankles and drag me under there with him. I once stalled myself getting up Christmas Day because of it.

I used to believe that if you opened the window at night time, the darkness outside would come in and fill the room. My older brother would delight in tormenting me as he threatened to let the dark in by opening our bedroom window.

I used to belive that there was an evil man living in my mirror called "FRED" who watched me as I slept - who was basically an evil man (ie - the old man from Poltergeist 2/3 - that movie scared the crap out of me!)

Anyway - I am now 25 and I dont have a mirror in my bedroom, and if I am in a room with one I have to cover it with a towel.

as young children,my dad told us human head was used in making louvre glasses.so whomever brakes one wil have he's or her head cutoff. it worked,none got broken after that

After watching "It" by Stephen King for the first time, I refused to step on a bathroom drain because I was afraid that a clown would come up from the drain below and attach me. To this day, i still won't stand on drains because it makes me uncomfortable even though I know that there is no clown down there now.

As a child, every time I took anything from the refridgerator or freezer, after I had finished, I would give the door a gentle push so that it would close slowly giving me enough time to get off of the linoleum and onto the carpet of the living room before it closed. I believed that if I was still on the linoleum when it closed, then I would turn into a frozen iceblock statue.

when i was little, i used to think that the water coming out of your faucet was comin from the ocean, and if u ran the water too long, then little fishies and stuff would come out, and if your bathtub was clogged, i thought that meant a shark was trying to come through.

I used to believe that the middle parts of jacuzzis were filled with whirring blades and that's why the water was so bubbly. Whenever I wanted to get from one side to the other, I would scoot around the edge. I was really worried for my dad that he would get his legs cut off as he always went across the middle.

I used to think that if you put something in the VCR it would show up on the TV so one day I was very disappointed when I put a piece of popcorn in it and it didn't work.

i used to believe that there was another universe on the other side of mirriors and people all had a mirrior version of themself that did the opposite of whatever they did and the other you in the mirrior could see everything you did and would tell your other parents and your real parents would somehow communicate with the other parents and you would get in trouble if you did bad things near a mirrior

i remember having my friend danny over and telling him about how my dad had a special drink that made u irrisistably attractive to women... it was his aftershave...

I used to believe there was a creepy ghoulish guy under my bed that would either grab my ankles, or shoot an arrow through my ankles if i got too close to the bed. I even dreamed about getting an arrow through the ankle frequently. I got extremely good at jumping from the middle of the floor onto my bed. I was about 5 or 6

We thought each plug was for a particular thing, and if you plug the wrong thing it won't work properly, as in plugging the TV to the plug meant for the piano it will play music that's all

I used to believe that a large snake lived in the bathtub drain. When the tub was drained after a bath, you could see its tounge as the water was going down. The snake was not particularly scary nor friendly, it was just doing its job, drinking the water after every bath.

I used to believe that there were secret opposing societies who were always at "battle" with each other. The people were on either side, depending on which way they put their toilet paper on the roll. I was on the side of the toilet paper coming over, and was "against" the people who put their rolls coming from underneath.
