I had a superman t-shirt when I was little. It had a cape and everything. But the sad part is it took 3 jumps off a 5 foot something ladder, 4 boo-boos and a trip to the doctor for my dad to explain to me that the shirt did not actually enable me to fly.

I used to believe…

If I practiced hard enough...I could use the force. I would concentrate really hard, hold out my hand, squeeze my eyes shut, and try to move things across the room. I was really bummed when it never worked.

I used to believe…

My grandma told me when I was a todler "If you eat mashed potatoes your ankles wold be prettier" and I believed her. I can't believe that I could believe such a silly thing.

I used to believe…

My Grandma always told me to go to the bathroom right when I had to and not to hold it. She said I would get a bladder infection if I did. Well for some reason I thought she said "marmalayder" when she said Bladder. One day I actually told my mom "Hurry, take me to the bath room before I get a marmalayder infection!"

hall of fame

I believed that if you climbed high enough and jumped.. you could fly. And if you didn't climb far enough youd always land on your feet like dogs do.

I used to believe that if I moved my arms quickly with feather-dusters in hand, and jumped off my couch, I'd fly. (many hours of my childhood were spent attempting exactly that)

I used to believe that babies didn't fart, but children over 6 and adults did.

However, a clip on You've Been Framed! - a UK comedy home video show - which showed a freshly powdered baby lying on its tummy and then farting a cloud of talcum powder proved otherwise!

I used to believe that you could get leppers for not taking baths everyday, so I took baths every day and ocassionally touched my nose to see if it was still there!

When i was little i use to think that if you pooped relly hard all you oragans will come out

I was about 7 when we moved to a new house. My mom started talking about the rent and stuff like that. I asked her what rent was, and she said that it was when you had to pay the owner money so that you could live in the house. I was young and didn't understand this process. I said "What if you dont know where the owner lives? What if she lives in China? How will you find her and give her the money? How do you even know who she is?" and she said "We just know." I thought for a while that my parents were pshycics.

I used to believe that every kind of food had its own tube in your throat. For example, french toast tube, macaroni tube and so on. That's why choking people always say "it went down the wrong tube."

when my bro was 6 my grandma said she was so tired she would "die" that night. my bro was always going around saying his gramdma had died and came back from the dead until my mom told him it was just a saying and it meant she was going to sleep good!

I used to believe…

When I was 3, I used to think that when people were sleeping that they were temporarily dead. So whenever my mom, dad or sister took naps or fell asleep before I did, I'd run outside to find any sort of flower looking plant and place them on the bodies. Also when they woke up, I'd ask them what they dreamed about because I thought dreams were the mind's interpretation of Heaven or Hell. I have no idea how these thoughts came to be, but I did this until I went to kindergarten.

I used to believe…

As a child, I believed that when I closed my eyes to sleep, I was carried out of my bed, into the air and flew around. If I could open my eyes fast enough, I would be flying in mid-air. But I could never get my eyes open fast enough or even just get a little peek so I could prove it (at least to myself)

When I was little I used to love Barney and I had Barney underwear. I thought that if I peed on Barney then he would die. That's how I got potty trained.Lol

I used to believe that if you ate too much food it would pile up in to your stomach and hit the top of your throat, that meant you were full....so when my aunt said she was full I ask her if I could look into her mouth...she let me and I stuck my hand down her throat.... she started gaging and it took 3 people to get me off of her.... afterwards I was explained the digestive system..... don't judge me...

I used to believe…

when any negative idead or thinking came to my mind i used to spit because i thought that it will get out of my mind with my spitting.

I used to believe…

When I was little, my parents would get me to go to bed by calling it "Mrs. White's Party" I can't believe I fell for that more than once; I believed that there was a Mrs. White (actually the sheets), and she had me spirited away to a party after I fell asleep. I believed that she waved a wand or something to make me forget there hadn't been a party.
