I used to believe that when I said my prayers, "God Bless..." meant please keep burglars away
A childhood belief about prayers
others believed things like this

- I used to beleieve (when VERY young; 12 actually!) that cat burglars stole cats!— Woody
- I used to believe that switching the light on and off was morse code to burglarsAnon
- In "God Bless America" I thought it was "With the light from a bulb" instead of "from above."— Carol
- In the Hail Mary prayer, I used to say 'Bless a dark fowl among women' rather than 'blessed art though'Anon
- I used to believe that "God bless you" was "gableshu," so everytime someone sneezed, I would say "gableshu."— JS
