at home: around the house

I used to believe that when you earased a pencil mark you weren't really making it disappear, but rather coloring over it like white out. This was when I was in 5th grade. I really had no common sense as a child.

When I was a kid I'd look for places to hide before I go to bed, because I believe that strange men will attack me while I'm asleep.

You can never be too sure.

When I was around 8 I had to beliefs. one of them was that I was afraid to leave my hand off the bed because I had just heard the "humans can lick too." story and still today I am scared of that and for a while I couldn't take showers unless my sister had one first because I saw the movie "Cabin Fever" and thought my skin would start desolving from a flesh eating virus.

My grandparents used to have a picture of a tiger hanging in their hallway. I used to believe that the tiger would stare at me as I passed by. Everytime I passed by the picture I would stare back because I was afraid that if I looked away the tiger would jump out of the painting and eat me.

i always wondered how 'stuff' got its name. i imagined god sitting on a stool next to a pile of 'stuff' with a few angels scratching their heads in wonder. they would pick up an item and declare, "this will be called toilet paper" and "from now on this is a pan" and "this is taffy and it is sweet".

when i was smaller and had the fan on, the curtains would move, and i could swear i had magical powers that could move stuff, but only curtains cuz they werent heavy

My mom once told me that if I talked into the box fan(to make my voice sound funny) that the motor would overheat and it would explode. I believed that until I was about 15.

UNTIL I WAS ABOUT NINE AND A HALF I BELIEVED THAT A LITTLE ITTY BITTY PENGUIN LIVED IN THE BACK OF THE REFRIDGERATOR AND THAT HE GAURDED THE FOOD. I EVEN THOUGHT HE WAS THE ONE WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHT WHEN YOU SHUT THE DOOR. EVERY ONCE AND AWHILE I WOULD TRY TO CATCH HIM TURNING IT OFF. I JUST COULDNT FIGURE OUT HOW HE DID IT.

i had a bird model hanging in my room on the ceiling it would always ricket back and forth on the string so i though it did that because the earth turns .... i thought it watched me at night

When I was little, I used to think my bed would take me to Hy-Vee

Our carpet was actually made up of all different squares. I made up this ritual where I HAD to hop, skip, and jump into or around them in a certain pattern or "something bad would happen." Never found out what the something bad was, 'cause I always followed the rules. Freaky, huh?

I used to believe there was a little man in the fridge who turned the light on when you opened the door

I used to believe that a person could fall into shadows. There was one really scary shadow at my grandma's house that extended across the sidewalk when it got dark out and the porch light went on. I had to very carefully jump over it everytime I left her house, and I didn't dare try to cross it if I was alone.

i used to believe that,like in the line of
the song"yesterday""all my troubles seemed so far away,now it looks as though they're
here to stay"i thought that your troubles
would stay at your home in physical form.

when i was little i used to think the light in the microwave was the light and my grandparents house, and i would always yell into it saying hi grandpa!!!

I used to believe that if I went upstairs to get a band aid that monsters would come get me so I never went to get a band aid
