I'm from Ireland and in primary school coming up to St. Patricks Day they'd have plays and stuff on in scool and they'd always mention the millions of people who emigrated, but i thought emigrated meant disintegrated at the time so could never understand how millions of people went puff into dust... i pictured it kinda like vampires getting staked in Buffy... but Buffy wasn't on tv then so blame over active imagination....
A childhood belief about speaking
others believed things like this
- I used to think the Static in the TV where millions of flying bugs stuck wanting to escapeAnon
- That the white stuff coming out of aeroplanes meant that someone on the plane had just got married.Anon
- I used to believe that the people who take your blood at the doctor's office were vampires. — Andy
- I used to think that "cross-eyed" meant that people had X's for eyes, like dead people in cartoons.— Tim
- When I was at primary school I used to believe you could only marry someone who was the same height as you!— Lucy
- when i was younger, i thought that people disappeared when i wasn't with them.— Debbie
