When my sister was little she spent ages getting ready for bed every night. she'd put on make up and perfume. when I asked why she said "I want to look my best in case any of the boys in my class dream about me"!
A childhood belief about sleeping

others believed things like this
- I used to tape my mouth shut at night in case a spider would come along and make a web in my belly.Anon
- I spent ages wondering what a bart ender was as a child without realising that it was actually bar tender.— Heather
- We told our little sister that she had a long bushy tail and she fully believed us for ages!!Anon
- When I was little my sister told me that if I put a C.D. in the wrong case, it would mess up the C.D.'s songs.— Torrie
- When I was younger I asked my parents:
"If bees make honey, do flys make marmalade?"— Mike - I never knew why boys had to lift up the toilet seat...until my friend told me that boys had bad aim.Anon
