kids

When I was about 8 years old, I convinced myself I was secretly the adopted child. The reason? My brother and sister both had names that began with the letter D. Mine began with the letter A.

My husband and I were talking about getting our 4 year old into voice lessons. When we asked her what she thought she said she thought it would be cool to be able to talk like other people. Ha Ha! She thought voice lessons were given to be able to disguise your voice like other people, like Granny, Mommy, Daddy and to be able to cry just like her baby sister.

I thought my stuffed animals had feelings. I had so many of them they all wouldn't fit on my bed, but I didn't want to leave them out. So, half way through the night I'd want space and go on the floor. Then I would feel bad and take them with me. I'd keep switching back and fourth all night long.

i used to believe that when i was lying in bed, and if i closed my eyes for a while and pretended i was sleeping, then opened them really quickly, i would see my teddies and dools alive....im 14 now and still try it!!!

When I was young, our school seemed to have a large electricity safety program. There were videos of children being electrocuted after going to fetch a ball from a power area, and we even had a live demonstration one day of a hot dog getting cooked on an electric wire, just like our little fingers would.

Needless to say, when I saw a commercial for Nintendo, with bolts of energy shooting from the console and the slogan, "Now you're playing with power," I was certain that it was a public service announcement to warn me against the dangers of the NES.

Once when I was 5 this boy brought googly eye glasses to class. I asked him if I could wear them but he told me "No, they are really really hot" and the only reason he could wear them was cause he was older and could handle the heat. For the longest time I believed him cause I only saw older kids waering them. I was impressed by how pain-tolerant they all were.

I was a smart little kid but somehow didn't quite understand how many people were in the world and also had lived before me, so I thought most of my thoughts and ideas were completely original and I thought myself to be quite clever.

When I was younger, I would often hump my stuffed animals, but thought I had to keep my clothes on when I did it or I would get pregnant!
I wonder what a half human, half teddy bear would look like. =)

as a child, my parents wouldn't allow me to play with toy guns because they told me they "didn't believe in guns". i took that to mean they did not believe guns exhisted, like when one says one doesn't believe in ghosts. i thought them very silly.

As a little girl i was a huge barbie fan, and i used to believe that if i treated them well enough (especially my fav one) that they would come to life and i would have my very own barbie best friend.

As a small kid, I believed that we were given two weeks off from school at Christmas just so we could play with the new toys Santa brought us. I remember feeling sorry for my teenage sisters because because all they got were clothes and jewely. How could you have any fun with stuff like that for two whole weeks?

My family and I lived in an apartment complex when I was young; One year I got a small electric organ for Christmas and played it faithfully every single day. When I proudly told our next door neighbor what I got for Christmas, she simply replied with "I know..." It took me years to figure out how on earth my neighbor could have possibly known I'd received that organ for Christmas.

When I was young, I thought that I was something other than human. I was never quite sure what, but I was sure I could not be a human being. I thought that I would eventually find out if I tried hard enough, and that everybody around me were part of a conspiracy to keep me from finding out who and what I really was.

When I was 3 years old, I really used to believe that if I played with dolls after the sun went down, they would danced on my forehead when I was asleep...

(my grandmother used to tell me this when I didn't put my "dolls away").

when i was a kid i used to think all my dolls came alive at night & walked around & such. so during the winter at night when it would get really cold, i'd wrap every single doll & stuffed animal i owned up in a blanket to keep them warm.

When I was a child, I somehow picked up the peice of information that ragedy ann and andy's hearts were made of candy.

I remember cutting ragedy ann's chest open and trying to extract her candy heart.
I never found it and I believe my parents were very put upon that I had knifed one of my stuffed animals.

I was 4 or so at the time.

When I was 5 or so and asked my mom where I had come from, she said something to the effect that I came from high above (meaning heaven). Well, in our house, the living room is an addition that's two stories high, with a ceiling fan in the middle -- it was the "big room" to me. So one night I dreamt that I had appeared one day holding onto the cord of the ceiling fan in the big room, with my family standing on the floor looking up at me. They asked who I was, and I said, "I'm your new kid." I let go and they caught me, and I woke up convinced that that was how I was born.

I believed that the world, and most of the other people are part of an alien construction designed to test me. If I pass the test, then I get to be taken to the 'real world'. I guess I haven't passed the test yet!

When I was five we moved to Texas and my Dad put up a swingset in the back yard. It was up but the legs didn't have the stakes on them to keep it in the ground. I was scared to death when my Dad asked me to give it a try. I was convinced that I would fly into space and would never be heard from again.
