Once my mom told me that I woke up one night screaming "bloody murder". I didn't know that saying, so I thought I literally was yelling "bloody murder". I told all my friends at school what I screamed.
A childhood belief about sleeping
others believed things like this
- I used to believe that "sue" meant murder, so in movies when someone is getting sued I got really confused— I don't know
- When I was little I thought that Buddy Holly was called Bloody Holly!— Catherine
- I used to believe that flies were called "bloody flies"!— Angelface
- My mother didn't want me outside at night so she told me i had to come in or else 'the night air would get me'— Dan
- I didn't quite grasp the concept of time zones, and thought that Chinese kids went to school at night.— Giselle
- i didn't beleive this, but a kid my sister knew thought if he screamed in a really high voice, he ran faster.Anon
