When I was little and saw the Zig-Zag rolling papers, I thought the man on the front was Jesus.

My grandparents used to live in an apartment building with L or U-shaped floors. They lived at the very end of one hall, and that's the only part I'd ever see. Looking out from their door, I could see the one door directly across the way, as well as half a door. I automotically assumed that the people that lived on that side of the building had to be paper-thin to fit in their doors, since the hallway must have been so narrow. I always peeked out and wondered why I never saw any flat people or flat pets.

When I was about 4 and a half, my mum used to clean this lady's house. The laundry was in the garage, behind a closed door. Again, I was never allowed beyond that door. I was merely told there were cars in there and it was too dangerous for me to enter. I was convinced there was a freeway with cars and the like wizzing by at phenominal speeds, just waiting to run over a little girl like me!

When i was younger we had a new alarm system fitted in, with a fob key and everything. I dont no why but i thought the little box (that controlled all the alarms fitted in my house) opposite my bedroom in the hallway ( which i could see from my bed) would start a fire if it got mad! so i gave it a name - molly, and talked to it and put my thumb up at it and stuff..
talk about suck up to the alarm system!

I used to believe that in a microwave the heat vents were actually people who work a drive through window at mcdonalds so my sister and i would always put our heads in and say an order!

One of my uncles is called Michael. I used to think that the microwave was called a MichaelWave and he invented it. It heated things up by Uncle Michael waving his hand and sometimes when I walked past I would wave to it!!!

When I was 10 our guest room dore was always shut and locked. I always thought that there was someone in there but i didn't know who. Thankfully there was never anyone there. I was always scared.

I went through a stage where I prepaed myself every night before sleep for what I would do in case the house burned down that night. My parents had once told me that I couldn't take the time to look around and bring things outside with me, so I used to take all the stuffed animals and dolls on my bead and hold them at once, so I'd be prepared to carry them out with me.

When I was about 2 years old, I dropped a ring I had gotten from a gumball machine down the space between the elevator and the floor of our apartment building. For the next three years or so, I would not step on the crack in any elevator, because I thought I'd be sucked down it forever, like in my nightmares.

I live in the Deep South, and for many years, I thought there was a whale buried in my grandfather's yard, right next to the house. And just the top was showing out of the ground. Growing up, I learned this could not possibly be the case, but when I confronted my family about it, was assured over and over that it was true.

I eventually worked it out on my own that it was an unused, cement covered WELL.

I made my bed everyday as a kid because I believed that if I didn't then bugs would get in it.

I used to believe that the light on the ceiling of the car at night from other car's head lights was a shark tooth and it would mean that you would have nightmare about sharks for a week and if they lasted any longer than that then a shark would come up onto the land and eat you.

My parents had a decorative bottle that kind of looked like the one from "I dream of Jeannie." I believed that we had our own personal genie that lived inside and if I could ever get her to come out I could wish for lots of money and toys. I would always try to get the genie out but she never wanted to come out, so one day and I filled the bottle with water to see if she would float to the top. I never told my parents that I drowned our genie.

As children, my brother and I used to love playing hide-and-seek with my dad. But he always had the best hiding spot. He would go to the furnace room and call our names into the furnace. We would be upstairs on the floor looking into the vents believing that somehow he had squeezed himself into the air vents.

Lots of kids are scared of the dark because they think there are monsters, boogeymen, etc. hiding there. Well, I thought darkness was an actual physical thing, and I was afraid it might fall on me and hurt me. So, I had to have some light on when I go to sleep. Even now, as an adult, I can't sleep in total darkness...

My mum used to tell me that I had to keep my room tidy as the Queen checked all children's rooms at random and would be very disappointed to find it messy.

When my cousin was young, I convinced him that a pointy spear from a BBQ grill set was actually a sword, and that I stole it from Captain Hook. Fortunately for my cousin, he's not as gullabe today.

At the age of 3 or 4, I remember my Dad looking up towards the roof at wasp nests under the eaves. He would complain about the "wasps being back and having the run of the house". I thought wasps were little gnome or elf like creatures that lived on the roof. I sat outside for hours looking up in an effort to catch a glimpse of them.
