When I was about 3 to 5 my dad told me that there were people in our dining room table and so I believed him and named them and I made up and town and what I thought there lives were like.
I used to believe there was a little man that lived in the mailbox. He would catch the mail and make sure it went to the right place.
top belief!
I was convinced that plastic grocery bags were essentially the same as the parachutes I saw in books and on tv. So I would go to the top of the slide on my swingset and jump off with my arms through the handles like I was wearing a book bag/parachute. Somehow my landing was never really that cushioned, though. I figured that I didn't have enough time to catch air in my parachute and that I would have to jump from a higher place to really get it to work. I knew that the parachutes I heard of could be opened too late so maybe that was my problem being too close to the ground. Luckily I never did get access to the roof of my house!
when i was around ten my family and i would visit our aunt's house a lot. she had a fireplace and we didn't so i wasn't used to them. in the winter her fireplace was always lit. it petrified me. i was convinced that at any moment the entire house would be a blaze. so i would tell my mother that i wanted to go outside and play even though there was nothing but a driveway and some trees. so i would stand in the driveway in the freezing cold for hours waiting for my family to burn up.
I used to believe that through the top shelf of the walk-in closet in my parents bedroom, there was a secret door that lead to a movie theatre. And it was called "Super Cinema". Don't remember many other details. I think the idea came first from a dream.
When I was 4 I thought that my pillows would come alive and have a tea party with MY tea set!! Why couldn't they bye their own!!?!?!??!!
i used to believe the sound from a piano came from the keys hitting a stuff called "sploosh"{wierd, huh?}.
Until I was probably in 3rd grade, I planned on having a force-field a la Star Wars around my home when I grew up :-)
I used to believe that laundry baskets were little race cars and I would sit in them and make the noises and pretend to steer the wheel.
top belief!
When I was about 5, one day my mom was in a hurry to get home because she had a kettle on the stove. I asked her what would happen if we just left the kettle boiling, she told me that it would become a piece of meat - I believed her, but now she denies having told me that.
When I was about 8 years old I would help my mom would put my dirty clothes in the washing machine. But when I throw my clothes in the washing machine I would see my clothes swirl round and round. I would think that my clothes would go throw pipes and accidentally go in my neghbors washing machine. But now I'm 16 and now better.
When I was 3 my parents were selling our house and we had a guy come to look at it and shortly thereafter we moved and i thought that he had stolen our house. So we saw him at a store once and i asked why he had stolen our house.
I used to believe that when my parents said about a 'walk-in wardrobe' they were saying a 'walking' wardrobe! I was bloody terrified!
top belief!
As a little girl, I was given a "grown up" gift of a pretty little bottle which had the words "toilet water" on the label. I behaved like a grown up little lady and said thank you, but was puzzled. It smelled nice, but I didn't know that toilet water was a light smelling perfume to wear. I just poured it into the toilet.
When I was younger my grandma once told me that my grandfather (who had died years before) turned the lights on for us at her house. When I got a little older I realized that her lights were on a timer.
I used to like lying in front of our fake fire to keep myself warm (not a fan of cold weather), and i used to lie really close. My brother told me that my spine would melt if i kept doing this. And again i still feel uncomfortable doing this :P
When I was a child, I used to think that water than came out of the bathroom sink was very bad and undrinkable, because the same plumbing came to the toilet. And maybe it was like drinking out of the toilet. Only drinkable water came out of the kitchen sink.
I'm Native Canadian, and my tribe is called Haida. For years I thought that lots of people used sofas named after my tribe. It wasn't until later that I realized it was actually Hide-a-Bed.
When I was 3 years old, my sister and I used to play in the basement of our old house, where my parents had built a play area. However, when my sister was fed up playing with me, she would want to be left alone, but soon discovered that I wasn't that easy to get rid of!
So she told me that there was a colony of wild, vicious, ferral cats living in our guest bedroom, and that they would attack me if I went in. When she was tired playing with me, and wanted to read, she would then retire to the guest bedroom and get undisturbed reading time in peace and quiet.
I was terrified of the guest bedroom. This belief was exploded when my mother tried to take me in there - I can't remember what for - and I cried and struggled and protested. She asked me what was wrong, and I told her that the wild cats would kill me. Where on earth did you get that idea, she asked - and a huge smile formed on her face as I told her it was my sister, and she realised for the first time just how clever and cynical kids could be!
I still remember being scared of the room after, and quite resentful of my sister!
When i was younger i used to believe by pushing the red bulb on a glass temperature the temperature would rise. so one day i was curiouse and decided to press it as hard as i can, and guess wat, it broke i ran around screaming thinking i was bleeding to death because of the red fluid, suddenly i got hot(because i was in fear) then once the hospital guy came he inspected my thumb for glass then wrapped it up like a plum.after that i promised myself i would never do that again, a month later i found the truth luckilly.
