When I was 4 I went to the Atlantic ocean for the first time, had a blast when we were done we went to a little hole in the wall ice cream shop, where they had Super Man ice cream. I got it and the entire time I was eating it I was pushing on stuff. My grandfather caught me doing this to a SUV and asked what I was doing. I told him I was waiting for the powers to kick in.

When I was in grade 4 I LOVED DragonBall Z. So i thought that if i did enough push ups and sit ups, Vegeta would come to planet earth and take me away to his planet to train with him.
I used to believe that pictures and posters could see me. So whenever I did something private in my room, I turned all my pictures upsidedown and took down my posters.
Once i saw a commercial, where a kid could transform a blank piece of paper into a 100 dollar bill, with this little machine. I thought to myself, if we had one we would never be poor again. So I took all of my savings, and bought that magic machine at the toy store. I returned home, full of anticipation, only to discover that it was "just a magic trick", and you needed a 100 dollar bill to make one. Boy was I disappointed!
I used to believe that my stuffed animals came to life at night, one night I put them at the bottom of my bed to see if I could catch them at a different position in the morning, when I woke up they had moved, I was super excited, but once i got older I realized that it was just me that moved them by moving the blankets when I was sleeping
When I was little I was terrified of fire. Fire drills. Candles. Fireplaces. You name it. I was terrified. To alleviate my fears my parents told me that the only way our house could catch on fire was if someone poured gasoline on our house and lit it. Well my little ears heard "vaseline," so for years I had nightmares of people smearing vaseline on our house and lighting it on fire.

When I was young, I thought all animals were called "Molly"-- my dog's name. I called everything from birds to bears Mollys.
When I was a little girl I used to think that when I fell asleep my Barbies would come to life and protect me in the night. I once fell asleep with them on the ground then woke up with them in my arms. I stopped beleiving this whenever I stopped playing with Barbies. I was 9 years old.
My mum hated the fact that whenever it rained or snowed I'd stick my tongue out and try to catch the raindrops/snowflakes,
So when we were out on the road walking and it was raining/snowing - she told me that snow was dandruff and rain was cloud wee wee.
I used to believe that there was a 13th month called White. When reciting the months, I would always say "October, November, December and White!" My mom would always say "um, sweetie, white isn't a month" which would make me very upset and I would INSIST that it was a month. I think I thought it encompassed all holidays or something. I was a sillyface
When I was a little boy, there was a house being built a few houses down from mine. They were always using a tractor with a grapple (bucket that opens & closes) on it. Whenever they started the tractor I would hear it and peek outside. Now with the sound, plus the grapple opening and closing, I thought this thing was a T-Rex trying to eat me!

I used to believe that if I said the Pledge of Allegiance every day for a year I would get a wish.
I used to think that if I squeeze my nose shut and build a lot of pressure by breathing in my brains would come out from the ears, as ears popped. I always imagined brains to look like ground meat.
i used to believe that when i looked at someone, if i breathed in while doing so i would inhale some of their personality or looks. I always made sure to exhale when I was looking at someone I didn't like or though to be ugly. And when I liked someone I would take in a huge breath.

I used to believe that i was the only real person in the world and everyone else was fake.
I used to believe that I was a bad kid because I slept with my bedroom door open, because a fireman came to my kindergarten class and told us we needed to close our doors in case of fires.
I was so scared that I would die from a fire, it overrided my fear of the dark, and i started closing my door when i went to bed.
Until I was 8 or 9, I thought the brain was a control center where a little person operated a computer, taking input from you and giving back information when asked. I always wondered if he got breaks.
Ever since i was a little kid i had a fear of my stuffed animals or dolls that they came to life when i went to bed or left the room. For that, i never tried to be mean to my toys or anyway to hurt them at all. My father/mother would bring home really old toys and they scared me and i would just say that they're so cool just 'incase'...
When a kid I thought people were calling a basketball backboard the blackboard. So I always called it the blackboard but it just didn't make sense to me. No one ever corrected me.
When I was a little girl a friend told me that Peggy from the Muppets was evil and in the night she are going to kill me if I sleep in the same bedroom that the doll
