at home: around the house

There is this old fashion desk/bookcase who's legs look like feet. So when I was a little kid I thought that if I ever went near it, it would start chasing me and eat me or something. And unfortuanatly, it was by my bathroom so whenever I needed to go, I had to get my mom or dad to watch and protect me from the desk. Haha.

when i was a kid and i would go over to my cousins . he had a big fence in his backhard and we thought mean indians lived there and if we got to close to the fence they would kidnap us

My son currently believes that when the water flow to the tub or sink is slow (like when the washing machine, dishwasher or toilets are also filling) that we need to pay the water bill. The last time he said it was slow we told him we could only pay part of the bill this month and that is why it's slow. He asked us to please pay all the bill tomorrow.

When my mom bought a dishwasher I wondered how the dishes was cleaned... My mom told me that inside of the dishwasher there were several Swedish men who cleaned all the dishes for hand!

Sometimes I made my mom go ahead of me and turn on all the lights I'd need to get ready for bed. I was scared that in the dark lurked a scary person who would be frightened off if my mom turned on the lights. I was never scared of my brother's room, which I had to pass in order to go from the bathroom to my bedroom and which was dark, since I didn't go in there to get ready for bed. I was only scared of darkened rooms which I'd have a reason to go into.

For a long time, I believed that all small objects were babies. I particularly had a thing with all erasers and hair clippies. I would take them to recess with me and poke them to try and make them come back to life. It never worked.

i used to think that the way to get warm water from the tap was to keep your finger under the water

When I was little I would jump up onto beds and mattresses to play around on them. My brother told me that some were rigged with needles and if I jumped on them they would prick me. I believed this until I was 10. By then I figured out about how many parents would sue if their children were hurt.

I used to believe that everything around me was alive; even things like the FAUCET. I thought that when you turned the water on hot it would hurt the faucet because it was too hot.

i used to believe that every time i turned a light switch off that the bulb would burst next time you switched it on again. so i used to stand there for hours flicking the switch on and off just to see if it did.

When my niece was young, I asked her the following question:
If olive oil comes from crushed olives, and peanut oil comes from crushed peanuts; where does baby oil come from?

Form that moment on my niece would not let my sister-in-law moisturize her skin with baby oil. When my niece finally told my sis-in-law why, I was the pariah of their household for several months.

Being very, very gullible, I listened to my brother when he said that shaving cream was actually soap. I thought that was true for a few years, until my mother started yelling about where it was all going. I gave up on washing with it.

i used to belive up unitl a yr ago that albas oil was called drip drops and clips were called pip pops.

When I was little there used to be a ceiling fan in my room with a design on it that resembled some sort of evil man's face. I used to throw huge fits when I was put in my room by myself and I would scream "Man in the fan" and no one knew what I was saying until one day My dad figured it out and used it as a type of punishment. He would be like "If you don't be good I will leave you with the man in the fan. It worked for awhile.

I thought when you moved-like to a new house- your house would sprout legs and....move. When my parents told us we were moving I kept woundering what kind of shoes it would wear. I was really small, needless to say.

I always used to hate rewinding my videos when I was little, I thought that there were little people inside the VCR who did it manually and I felt bad making them work all the time.
