at home: around the house

I used to belive that no one could see me behidn the couch so i would hide there when i didnt want to go places i would hide there and i would close my eye no one could see me in my house with my eyes closed! lol

when I was about 6 or 7 yrs old I used to believe a little penguin lived in my refrigerator and his job was to turn the interior light on and off. I would sit and open the fridge repeatedly trying to catch him in the act. Boy, what a dork I was.

My mother used to tell us that if children drank coffee they would not be able to sleep and would jump all night, so I believed just that - lying in bed and my body jumping up and down, if I drank coffee.

I also used to beleive that the kitchen appliances could go wrong and start punching your face like in Donald Duck comics, and so I was really scared, and still am, of those things (fridges, stoves, dish washers, etc.)

when i was a kid i musta been like 4 or 5. my parents grounded me and it was the first time ever. i told my friends thru the screen door i'd never seem them again cause i was grounded. i thought my parents were gonna bury me in the back yard up to my head for a week.

well...you know the furry stuff that you find in the pot of fake indoor plants. i used to call it sheepy hair and my parents convinced me that it was poisenous. I am still afraid of it to this day and i am 18 years old

When I was younger I asked my dad what the red cord in our garage was (you pull it and then you have to open it by hand instead of with the opener). He didn't want me to ever pull it, so he convinced me that if I ever did pull it, the house would explode.

I used to think that "elbow grease" was an actual product of kitchen or surface cleaner.

I used to believe that dust bunnies was something that would jump out and attack you if the house wasn't kept clean.
Now because of that I am a compulsive house keeper.

Every time I would put my mouth directly on the faucet to get a drink of water, my Grandmother would warn me I was going to swallow a fish someday! I would dream for years a fish got stuck in my throat.

I misheard the words "chest of drawers" and for years thought they were "Chester Drawers", a particular style of furniture.

I used to think that if you jumped in the house the house would fall down.... unless you were on ground level and so i became the jumping police and would freak out if any of my sisters would jump around. Also,,,,, waterbeds aren't allowed upstairs cause they will fall through the floor.
In all honesty I still believe this no matter how many men tell me different. Scares the crap out of me

For some reason, everyone in my family had a "Junk Drawer" in their house where all th e odds-n-ends like hammers and decks of cards and such. I thought they called the "drunk drawer" as in the things you might need when you get drunk.

I used to believe that there were people hiding behind the walls in the space created by the studs. If they heard a certain password, they would come out of the wall and cause mayhem.

when i was 9/10 my parents room's doornob needed some fixing.and i feard that if their door closes they will be locked and even suffocate to death.it never occured to me that they can open from the inside.hence i always put a chair/stool to prevent the door from shuting by itself.in my mind i was saving my parents' lives and to them it was one of the silly things that their daughter does.

When I was little my favorite game was candyland and one day when my dad was in the attic my sisters had me stand at the bottom of the steps to the attic and told me that there was a real candyland in the attic but I was to young to see it I had to be 4 years old and every year that I got older they said oh you have to be 5 or you have to be 6 but for year I thought that there was a candyland in the attic.

I used to lie on my back and look at the ceiling thinking that it formed the ground of a parallel,upside down, world.I thought that one day I might be able to step into that world.
