When i was around 5, I was convinced my parents had video cameras installed all over my room. i used to sit in there by myself, and talk to every possible bit of the wall so I would be looking in the lens and they would know I knew they were there. I'd sit there saying, 'I know your watching me' and 'i can see the cameras, do you think im stupid?' lol...

- In first grade a boy told me that he could see girls naked with his microscope lens. I beleived it for years.— Jeanette
- I used to think wall outlets looked like little faces (eyes and mouth), and so I would talk to them sometimes!— EJ
- I watched a Michael Jackson music video with my brother, and we were convinced he was a woman.— Adrian
