when i was little i thought that when you were sick, a huge monster had gotten into my body and would soon eat me no matter what....
I used to believe…
When I was 4 or so, I believed that a monster was waiting at the end of the hall (obviously, to kill me). Well, the bathroom was at the end of the hall as well. So I usually stood there, peering down the hall for a few minutes before deciding to do my business elsewhere (behind the couch, in my pants, etc). That didn't go over to well with my parents.
I used to believe that when you ate a food, it would go through you and then there were 2 witches in your stomach that would mix up all your food that you ate and there would be a back door to where it would 'empty out'.
I had never heard of a female taking a dump (I guess it wasn't lady-like to make it obvious in the 70's) so I thought girls didn't take craps....imagine my shock when I discovered a "floater" after my female next door neighbor forgot to flush...girls never seemed so nice since those days when I was six.
i used to believe that if you farted in the shower you would then be contaminated by the smell and would have to wash your hair over again. I was a stupid child.
i used to think that when you ate something, it would go down individual slots for every single tyoe of food in th e world. obviously i didn't know anything about other countries.
i used to believe that every time i closed my eyes, i would enter another dimension where aliens looked exactly like people i knew. i was really terrified of sleeping.
I used to believe…
When I was small, (potty trained to about 13!) I used to believe that if I plugged my ears while urinating, no one would here. I figured that it was abnormal to make a noise while peeing, and if I didn't cover my ears, people would think I was an alien and shoot me!

When I was little I read a book about a boy who slept with his head on the wrong side of the bed. His mum told him if he did that again he would turn into an ink splodge. At the end of the story he did it again and he turned into an ink splodge and his mum mopped him up before he could say anything.
I was so scared by this story that it was a few years before I dared sleep with my head on the wrong side of the bed!!
I used to think that if I hurt myself and then made it hurt more, it would heal faster. The logic was, it would be more painful for a shorter amount of time rather than less painful for a longer amount of time. Go figure.

when i was little i thought that i could freeze time, i would flick my fingeres outward and my dad would stop and i would hide his hat then unfreeze him with another fingerflick. Then when i tried to freeze time when my dad wasnt watching me and it didnt work and now i realise how stupit i must have looked, but i watch charmed and it is still alive in my head.

my mother used to tell me that she could see all the way into my stomach to see if i had eaten something i wasnt supposed to and all she was really doing was looking at my back teeth. I thought it was amazing how she could see the chocolate all the way down there in my stomach, so i once ate a piece of lettuce afterwards cause i hoped it would land on top of the chocolate and hide it from view

When I was at school, in primary 1, I used to think if I covered my ears, and began to sing or talk no one could hear me. I suppose I thought because I couldn't hear them, they couldn't hear me!

when i was little i thought that my hic-ups were caused by little man on the back of my tounge, yodeling
I used to believe that when i ate any kind of food each ingredient would separate in my stomach and fill up its own special column. I used this reasoning to explain why i couldn't finish my dinner but i had room for dessert...the ice-cream column wasn't full yet!
I used to believe…
My dad snores, but my mom doesn't, so when I was little I thought only men snored. So one day at school I was talking with a friend about our parents, and she said that her mother snored. I replied in shock "Your mom's a MAN?"
I used to believe…
When I was little I thought that when you were asleep people could tell what you were dreaming just by looking at you, unless:
-There was no light shining directly on you.
-You had your eyes and mouth covered if you were lying on your back.
-You had the back of your head covered if you were lying on your side.

When I was about four or five, I thought you could fly (oh, what an unusual belief) if you held an umbrella above your head and jumped off of something, like Mary Poppins. So one day I climbed up to the highest part of the playground, opened my umbrella, and...*thud.* Ouch. Thank god I did it when nobody was around - although the reason I waited until I was alone was because if I managed it I didn't want anyone else to discover the "secret."
