i used to believe up until i was 12 that me and my best friend (who now lives in Ireland. If he's reading this: HI!!!) could see ghosts and found it our duty to protect our houses from ghosts.

we formed a two-man gang and gave it a ridiculous name, but we pretty much devoted our spare time to enhance our 'special powers' and the likes.

on nights where the clouds looked like crop fields, we called them the Eagle Squadron who devoted their lives to attacking and destroying houses and buildings, so we used to put 'spells' on our houses and anything we didnt want being destroyed.

somewhere in our minds we knew we didnt have special powers and that ghosts are the creations of Hollywood minds (or are they?), but it certainly gave us something to be occupied with during summer holidays...

I used to believe…

when i was about 3 to 5 i belived that heart attacks were other hearts were attacking you

I used to believe…

When i was younger i used to think water and swet were the same thing so when i sweted i would drink it.

I used to believe…

When i was younger my mum told me that the reason old ladies have fat ankles is because they don't go to toilet straight away when they need to and that the wee needs to go somewhere so it travels down to your ankles!!

I used to believe…

When i was little, maybe six or seven, i had to go to this day care during the summer. One of their favourite field trips was to go bowling.

I believed i was the strongest kid in the day care AND bowling alley because i could lift an eight pound bowling ball over my head.

All the other kids believed this too and sort of worshiped me. I felt superior... until a new kid who could lift TWO bowling balls arrived.

I used to believe that when a person was born, that person was given so many breaths. I used to hold my breath or try to breathe slowly so that I would live longer.

i used to believe that if i stared at somebody for a long time, concentrating really hard on what i wanted them to think, i could change their thoughts. it really came in handy when i wanted to be picked for a special event in gym or when i wanted something from my parents.

I used to believe…

After wathching Mary Poppins, I thought that if I opened an umbrella on a very windy day and jumped into air, I would fly away like Mary Poppins!

I used to believe…

when i was little i used to belive that if you couldn't see someone they can't see you so when i was sneaking around and my mom or dad walked in i covered my eyes so the "couldn't see me".. then at preschool one time we were playing hide-and-go-seek an i would go in the middle of the feild and cover my eyes when people tagged me i thought they had just bumped into me and felt me.. i thought this till people began to tease me about me dumb hiding spots

I always believed as a child that we were able to do more than what we were taught to do, eg: we could jump much higher, run at the speed of light have extra strength etc. I used to spend hours at the top of the stairs willing myself to jump to the bottom without touching a single step, i fell down them alot!
I also believed that what we saw wasnt really there and that there was more going on than we realised, we as humans when we are born are taught that this is just the way life is, uniformed, to my amazement The Matrix film was released and it was just as i had always believed!!
And then this craze Jump started, i rest my case.

I used to think that I had the power to control the wind with my emotions. I made friends and we all figured we could create something with our feelings. we formed a team and every day we would go out "fighting the things that no one else could see"!

I used to believe that a diet was a little wooden mat that moved under the floor wherever you walked. My mom always said she was on a diet, but I could never see it, and figured that was what it must be--because she never looked any different.

I used to believe…

When my godmother was very ill with cancer (I was 5 at the time) I remember my Mum explaining that it was something that grows inside you. For years I imagined cancer as being a Yucca tree that grew inside and got so big you couldn't breathe anymore and that's why you died from it. I must have been at least 10 when I discovered that wasn't the case at all and the Yucca trees in our house weren't taking over!

I used to think I could pick myself up. I would hold one leg and then jump to catch the other leg. It never worked and I always thought it was because I wasn't strong enough....

I used to believe…

When I was in either first, or second grade, I used to believe that anyone who appeared in my dream at night, must have actually been there too, and would remember it just as I did. The dreams in which a girl I liked appeared, made me believe that she would understand, when I saw her at school again, why I liked her.

i used to believe that if you farted soooo hard that your butt would explode becuase i knew this lady, who had a huge butt so i figured she just farted all the time...i dont know how i came up with this
