at home

I use to belive that in my closet was a monster [like most kids] but it was just a shirt n stuff so anyways one day i got over it and layed in my bed looking at my closet for 5 mins then my brother had all the stuff i saw on and jumped out of my closet and ran at me i scream "ITS TRUE THERE IS A MONSTER" And then yelled for my mom then my brother grabed me and then i yelled more and kicked him in the face my mom ran in and i jumped on my brother and started hitting him my mom yelled at me and scolled me a couple days later he said to my mom that its his fault and i was never scared of the monster in my closet because i knew i could defeat him.......

I used to believe that there are total two worlds existing. The first one is infront of the mirror and the other one is inside the mirror and I always used to dream that one day I would definitely get a chance to go inside that other world and I would meet myself.

My Scottish Grandfather would tell me after a bath that if I didn't dry off rapidly, that any part of my body that the water would dry on would fall off. I still dry myself as fast as possible to this day... 37 years later

I thought the boggie man only came when you were bad.
When I was ill, I was always frightened of him. It is only now as a grown up, I realise it was my mums way of keepingme in bed. Very sad.

I still check my closet at night before I go to bed because my sister once told me that the one night that I didn't check then that would be the night that someone or something would be in there... and I don't want to take that chance!!

When i was little, around 5 or 6 one of my two older sisters waited in the shower until i went pee, then jumped out and scared me. This made me realise just how easy it would be for someone to hide in there. I still have a habit of opening the shower curtain, or at least looking behind it before i go to the washroom. I'm 17

I always thought that there was a monkey man under mah bed so I always used to take another person along with me at night!!!Coz 2 can overpower 1?!

When the cold winter wasnt too far off, i remember playing by the door, and my mother said 'dont play at the door because a draft will come in under it' .
I interpeted this as 'A Giraffe will come under the door' , and had a visualization of a Giraffe, sliding in from under the door.

When i was little i watched this movie and this hand cam out of the drains and would kill people so whenever i went to the bathorom i would leave the door open and once i flushed i would run with my pants still down till i was safely with my mom, now i am 16 and i still run ( with my pants up) when

Starting when I was six, I believed that if I didn't get to the sinks by the time the toilet was done flushing something really bad would happen to me(I dont' know what, just something). I also believed that if I left a book or magazine in front of the toilet a trapdoor would open and that my book or magazine would drop through. I don't know where this came from, but I believed it until I was 10.

When I was young and my father brushed my hair before school in front of our huge bathroom mirror, he used to say "look at the monkey in the mirror." I looked for the monkey until I was 6 or 7. When I figured it out, I told him there was a big hairy gorrilla behind the monkey.

Mamy, many years ago when i was little, you could buy new heads for yard brushes that came with two holes drilled in them, to accomodate the broom shaft in different positions. My Father told me the other hole was to put a candle in, so you could sweep up at night! I think i was about 14 before i realised that the candle would blow out as soon as you moved the broom .. D'Oh !

I was around five when I decided to weigh myself on my mom's scale. Before I did so, I closly examined the numbers on it. Seeing that the highest the numbers went was 250 I assumed that that was how much my house weighed(it was the biggest thing I knew of at the time)and asked my mom if that was true. She was applying makeup and obviously wasn't paying attention when she replied, "Yes".
By the time I was 10, I had thought it over and it made no sense. I mean, my house was two stories high and it had all of this heavy furniture in it. Finally, I decided to ask my mom for the truth and she denyed that she had ever said it. Lol. She still won't answer.

My mom told me when I was little that if she pulled the plug in the bathtub that I would go down the drain with the water. (She did this to get me out of the bath). I remember believing this and everytime she was about to pull the plug I jumped out as quick as I could!

i used to believe that when the water goes down a sink & a little ring of silver appears in the plug hole (i now understand it's a reflection!!) that if you were quick enough you could grab it & collect them & be rich!! (i'm still poor!?)

My dad once told me when i was very very young that when you left things like televisions on, you were wasting energy and shortening its life (now i know of course that he ment energy in genral and not the TV's energy, and that by "shortening its life" he actually meant it breaking, and not actually dieing) . Anyway, I naturally belived, and thought that there were little people in all the electrical things, like televisions, ovens, etc. And i thought that if the teledied, then they would die. So for a whole week, i ran around the house turning everything off, and on the last day I went to pull a plug from behind the television and I got a massive electric shock!!! I was flung accross the room, and spent a week in hospital...I never played with electricity again...
