I used to believe that when you weren't wearing shoes you were "bearfoot" as opposed to barefoot. It made perfect sense to me because bears didn't wear shoes.

When I said "shut-down" mode the toy would "power down" , meaning they couldn't feel anything when me and my sister were done playing.We created this because we don't have a shelf and put our toys in a big wooden box thing and the toys would get crowded.
When I was little, one of my friends had a toy fire truck that had a big red button that said "fire" on it. My friend told me that pressing it would make the truck light on fire, so i never played with it ever again.
When I was 5 after I saw ToyStory I thought that my toys would come to life when I left the room or went to bed ect. And If I treated them bad they would come after me in the middle of the night. So I always 'played nice'
In cartoons, the superhero characters always have a cool pose while flying or whatever. I used to believe when i went to sleep in these poses, i'd wake up wakeup a superhero.
When we had a nationality-day coming up at school, I asked dad where we were from. He said I was half scottish and half finnish.
We had visited our grandparents (from my mother's side) in Scotland before, but I didn't remember hearing about Finland before.
Our last name is Finn (dad had taken mom's name when they married, he has later on said people couldn't pronounce his old one), so I figured it was somehow connected to Finland, and soon decided, my family has their very own country! I don't remember how long I believed this, but I just remembered it, when we were watching a movie where a woman announced she was the princess of Finland. I was a weird kid.
When I saw the movie Toy Story it made me believe that if you treated your toys with the utmost care they could come to life. I remember I would go as far as bathing my toys and shampooing my barbie dolls hair.

I used to believe, that since I wished upon a wishing well, I really would grow up to be a dinosaur.
I used to believe that I was RoboCop, surely my cousin at the same age believed that he was Terminator...We used to battle it out alot...
I believed that one half of the world was an exact duplicate of the other. So, whatever I was doing effected the "me" on the other side. If I got a strange twinge of pain, she was probably hurt from an accident or if I got hurt, she was probably wondering why she was hurting. Sometimes I'd make strange body movements to make her do the same thing.
when i laid my head down on my pillow at night, I thought that the beating of my heart that i could hear was tiny men, marching my nightmares into my brain. I didnt sleep much at 5.
I used to believe that my toys would get cold at night so i always put them on the bed and under the covers when i went to sleep.
P.S Totally because of toy story. =P

I used to believe that if I dug a hole big enough in beach sand, I would reach China and meet a China boy.
I used to believe that if I went down a tube slide, a metal sheet would slide down the front opening and bottom opening, locking me into a little claustraphobic tube-slide hell. I was terrified!
I used to believe that life was actually a stage and everyone I knew and interacted with were actors. As soon as I left the room they would relax and go about their real business, whatever that might be.
One day in second grade everyone had to stand up and give a presentation about what nationality our family was. When it was my turn, I got up in front of the class and declared that I was half Irish and half Catholic. I had never even thought otherwise; it didn't make sense that I could be 100% Irish and 100% Catholic.
After noticing that my teacher could hardly contain her laughter throughout my presentation, I later asked my mom about it and learned that these were not mutually exclusive characteristics.
when i was a kid i thought that if i left my stuffed anmials out after i went to bed they would come to life and eat me
p.s. i saw chucky and got the wrong idea
In those days before everyone had air conditioning, I had a fan in my bedroom window. And when I talked into it and it made the robot voice, I thought that anyone else who had a fan in their window would be able to hear it...like a walkie talkie? lol

I used to believe that my stuffed animals would get lonely and sad when I was gone so I had to leave them at least in pairs so they had a buddy to talk to.
Not sure where exactly to put this one but as a young kid growing up and going with my mom to stores,etc... I saw the mannequins and thought they only came to life after stores closed for the night and did whatever they wanted to after closing time and everyone was gone for the night. I stared at them everytime we went shopping and wondered what they did the night before or why do they look so bored..Hey..I was a kid ..remember...LOL!
