A childhood belief about i'm different

I used to think that all the human beings in the world had died in some huge accident caused by aliens, and that my parents and everyone I knew were actually aliens who had taken on human form to care for me because they felt bad about having blown everyone up. However, I thought it was tiring for the aliens to remain in human form, and that they would turn back into their alien form every time I lost sight of them. So, I would spend a lot of time running back around corners and spinning around trying to catch a glimpse of the aliens before they noticed I could see them. However, I never caught them out, and I eventually decided that they had set it up so that my looking at them was what made them turn back into human form. That way, they didn't have to think about it.
