When I was a kid my mum used to say "sleep tight, hope the lops don't bite" [bedbugs]. For years I thought "the lops" were actually giant fishfingers.
A childhood belief about sleeping
others believed things like this

- I thought my imaginary friend was real and he imagined me
I hope he still believes I existAnon - i thought kangaroos were giant rabbitsAnon
