My twin sister and I often used to pretend we were asleep to either gain attention or get out of doing something. One particular day we lay down on the sitting room floor to pretend were were napping as my older brother and mum looked on. My brother piped up that we must be faking it as when people were really sleeping they would repeat the word "urglyburghly" over and over again... cue 4-year-old twins lying on carpet repeating the word "urglyburghly" as treacherous sibling and mother stood laughing.
A childhood belief about sleeping
others believed things like this
- That you had to marry your sibling. During this period of time I devoliped a crush on my brother.— don't worry I'm a girl
- i used to believe i would 'catch up' to my big brother one day and we'd be twins.— lil' sis
- My older brother used to tell me that if I "untied" it, I'd fly around the room like a balloon. — Gullible youth
- i used to think that every family had a brother and sister and they married eachother when they got olderAnon
- If I pretend to sleep the ghost won't eat me
Anon - In first grade, I thought that if I've never heard of a word before, then it wasn't a word.— Destiny
