kids

Whenever we would go to the beach, I would sit at the edge of the water and talk to the waves. (This was around ages 5-11.) I was convinced that the waves were alive, and they were coming to school, where I was the teacher. Maybe this had something to do with schools of fish...

If I swallowed anything while looking at someone, I'd gain their qualities and be more like them. I still have trouble swallowing while looking at anyone I don't like.

When I was four to six; I had a dream that all my toys grew legs and were marching to the toilet. They would flus themselves and I would not see them again. Every night I made sure to close the bathroom doors and put the toilet seats down.

This is really odd, and I still can't help but think about it at random intervals of my life... but I used to believe I had to be completely covered by my blankets when I went to bed, or the parts of me that were left uncovered were portals to my mind. And my best friends and my parents would read my mind. It made sense at the time, seeing as the parts that were being touched by air were always, um, colder than the other parts............I was an idiot.

When I was younger, a group of my friends and I believed, when we were in our mothers' stomache, a spirit wolf came into the womb and planted a seed in us that gave us the ability to become wolves. We could only become wolves at night time, though, and we couldn't remember what happened in our wolf form, but if we concentrated very hard we could "remember". We made up stories about being a wolf and told eachother. We even had descriptions of what our wolves looked like. One time my friend even told me she could see me begin to "transform", after which I quickly went to sleep so the transformation would not be painful.

I used to think that everyone was watching me wherever I went, and one day, I was out shopping like all day and I refused to use the bathroom because I thought a stranger would be watching me. It was scary.

I used to believe that my dolls in my dollhouse came alive. I was afraid that if I left them in my room, they would start walking around and talking to one another. Then one day I hid outside my room and spied on them, but nothing happened. So, I was just stupid.

I used to have 5 teddy bears, and i liked two in particular. However, I tried my best to play with them all equally because i thought that if i played with one more than the other, the others would become jelous and kill me at night, and i always used to have these miny wrestling matches with them, but id say sorry after every move so they dont get mad.

I always, and kind of still do believe that everyone can read my mind. Like if I am thinking of something bad or dirty (dirty more or so in my later years :P) then i will try to think of something else because people will read my mind and make fun of me. And when i was 9, i formulated a idea that everybody else had the pwer to read minds but i didnt, and they showed me fake things proving it wrong so i wouldnt feel bad.

When I was in kindergarten, I first realized I could bend farther than the other kids. I later found out this was called being double jointed, but back then all the kids would say my real dad must have been Mr. Fantastic (from the Fantastic Four, the guy who stretch himself out really far and can literally roll himself into a ball, etc.). I always thought this was stupid, because I knew who my 'real' dad was. But when I was 13, My parents told me I was adopted, and when I asked what my father looked like, they said they never saw him. Needless to say, I was now convinced the kids were right.

When I was in 2nd grade, I started seeing "ghosts". The other kids didn't believe me, and tried to prank me often by wearing bedsheets. These ghosts I saw weren't scary, though. They just seemed like normal people going on with their day, not evil spirits trying to kill me. They looked weird, though... the best way I can describe it is if there was someone in front of you who was invisible, but you knew they were there, so you threw a handful of glitter at them so you could tell where they were. I'd just see these shimmering human outlines every now and then.

i used to believe i was psychic. i still believe it. i predicted i would see someone i knew at the 99 cent store, and right before i left, it happened. i saw my best friend with her brother =]

when i was little my mom would told me it was illegal to own more then 4 barbies at a time. and if i got caught she would go to jail. (her way of getting me to stop asking for them) she went so far as to freaking out and making me hide the ones i carried with me where she saw a parked cop car.

I used to think that i was being tested, and that the world was small, everyone knew everything about me, could see everything i did, so i would cover myself up when i went to the bathroom, and would curl up in the bath so nobody would see anything... i also thought that if i ever told i lie they would all know it and laugh behind my back.

When I was a kid, I had this innate belief of how colors are ordered that was completely unrelated to my favorite colors. Without exception, this is the order colors go: blue, red, pink, brown, orange, green, purple, yellow, black, white, gray, peach, silver, gold.

I actually have coloring books filled with pages of everything in blue because I convinced myself that I needed to use the crayons in that order too.

I still believe in this system a couple decades later. Why, I don't know.

i used to and i still kinda do beleive that we are all in a dream and once you dream up to the age you are in real life then you wake up from your dream its kinda complicated...

I'm Caucasian, but when I was about four or five and people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up I said, "An Indian." I really believed that just because I wanted it, it could happen. What I really liked about the idea of being an Indian was getting to wear my hair in long, dark braids and wear beads.

You know how practically all Kids think they are gonna be famous?
I was convinced that that never really happened. Everyone was just getting there hopes up to become famous for nothing.
I was different, however, because I was going to be a Singer, an Actress, an Author, and Astronaut...all of them. And it wasn't stupid for me, because I was destined to become famous!
I don't know why I thought that.

When I was about 4 or 5, I used to think that when you drinked Coke that you had to spin around 5 times and yell "I LOVE COKE!!" really loud or the Coke monster will come when you sletp, and eat you up like a BIG cookie, then i asked my parents, my sister, and my friends. They all laughed at me like I was a crazy child! They always asked me if I was dropped on the head when I was a baby and I proudly said "YES"
