When i was in about 1st grade I used to play with my lil Fisher Price people in the kitchen where mom always was. Slowly my pile of people shrunk. I never knew why. When i was in high school my mom informed that after i was done playing i wouldn't get them all and they slowly died in the oven. Til there were no more.

I use to believe that when I went to bed, all my toy dolls would play at night and would jump back in the toy box before I got up in the morning!
I was convinced of this because I had a clown doll that sat on a box, and every morning he was tilted a little or just not in the exact position as when I went to bed...and I always checked him before I went to bed!
I used to believe the Care Bears lived in the clouds above my house. My friend and I used to play on my swing set and we thought if we swung high enough, we could swing into the clouds and visit the Care Bears.
I used to believe that I came from the moon, and that all the stars were pieces of the moon. There were as many stars as there were moon children, and we each had our own to look out for us.

When I was 6 years old, I used to believe that while I slept my stuffed animals became alive and protected me in my sleep from evil spirits.
when i was little i was confident that my mind didn't belong to my body and that is was only a question of exercise to use the body of other people as a container for my mind
When I was a little girl, I used to have a gorgeous teddy bear called teddy, and my mum said that if i got my hair trimmed regularly it would grow. So I thought if I cut my teddy bears fur it would grow as well, so every week I cut his hair, but it did not grow!! so I had a rather bald teddy!!!!!!!!!!

as a kid, i was told by my older cousins that i wasnt human until i turned 7 years old.
When I was about 5 or 6, I used to think that I was the reencarnation of Jesus Christ, ´cos I always thought I looked like him, my father´s name is José and mother is Maria (Joseph and Mary, in portuguese). I´m 20 now, and I swear, if nothing happens untill I am 33, I´ll start wearing shoes and I´ll finally cut my hair.

I used to believe that all I see was scenery created just for me, and if I change my way home, I could see people building new façades.
When I was young, the "Planet Of The Apes" film series was popular and I was into them in a big way. I used to think that I was the only "real" person on the planet and that all others were really gorillas like in the movies! They simply wore human costumes whenever I was around. Of course they were smart enough to know when I would be watching t.v. or movies, so they put on their costumes when they knew I would be watching. When they were alone and away from me, the masks came off.
My school sometimes had "special" kids come talk to us about living with a disability. I wanted to be special too so I would walk around dragging one leg and talking like I had Down Syndrome. I'm sure my parents were impressed!

I used to believe…
That my My Little Pony doll could grow it's hair after I cut it. Later I found out that it was two seperate dolls.
when i was a kid i used to think i was a horse called joey, i even had an imaginary horse girlfriend called lily. this abruptly stopped when i galloped into a wall and broke my wrist.
when i was in second grade, i used to believe that adults had a slower pulse than kids. so i took my pulse, decided that it was really slow, and reasoned that i was secretly an adult in a child's body. then i would take the pulse of other kids at school, and if theirs was as slow as mine, i would tell them how they were secretly adults, just like me. most kids i told this to were fascinated. we had a little club going for a while.
My grandma made matching rag dolls for my sisters and me, each with a different eye color so we could tell the dolls apart. My doll's eyes were a spooky-looking light green that kind of freaked me out. I wondered if my grandma was watching me through the doll's eyes - had she purposely given me the spooky-eyed one so she could spy on me? I told myself that this was nonsense; the eyes were embroidered on. But I still couldn't help imagining some kind of microscopic camera hidden in the thread.
i used to think that my toys came to life when i wasn't in the room. i was absolutely amazed that they were clever enough to return to the same position as when i had left them, except of course that barbie's show was inexplicably missing. what was she doing with ken? hmmmm
Until I was about 10 I believed that I was the only normal kid around and that my classmates and teachers conspired and watched me and recorded what I did in certain circumstances.
p.s.
When the movie "Truman Show" with Jim Carrey came out it was as if my childhood beliefs may not have been so unreal.
My younger sister went through a very long phase of pretending she was a dog. She would wear a dog collar and wanted to be led around by a leash. My grandparents were terribly concerned about this but no one would tell me why as I knew she was just pretending. It finally dawned on me when I was old enough to understand masochism. Luckily my sister is now a veterinarian!
When I was little I had a terrifying thought..."What if I'm the only person that has this voice in their head..." For a couple of weeks I went around trying to figure out if people thought about things in their head or if they would wait and talk out loud in private.
