kids

When I was young I had one of those little electronic robot building kits. What would normally happen is you would plug wires into a battery pack that would run the control panel for your little robotic arm or whatever.
Well, one day the batteries went dead so I needed another way to get power to it. EVERY kid knows that you can't plug wires (or knifes or anything dangerous) into a wall socket so I went out into the garage and found the longest extension cord I could find. The longer the better, I assumed.
I figured by the time all the electricity when through the entire extension cord it would be safe for the robot arm.
I proceeded to catch my bed on fire.

The first time I ever saw a hand puppet was in kindergarden. The teacher put the puppet on my hand, played a record, and told me to make the puppet mimic whenever I heard the person talking. I thought the puppet's mouth would move on its own until she showed me to move my thumb and fingers.

When about 3, i believed that my volkswagon bug, toy car would grow in sun light. i would place it in the drive way and watch it grow. of course this took a long time, i thought, but i would someday have a full size car if i waited long enough. i remember at the end of the day, i would bring it to my dad, to show how much bigger it had gotten, but being that i did not speak to well, he never got what it was i was trying to show him, to him it was just a toy which i acted like he had never seen before.

I used to think I was really some sort of a freak experiment where I was once a monkey, but changed into boy. I even had matching wrinkles on the inside of both heels where they cut my “thumbs” off. I was waiting for the day when my parents would finally admit it to me. I think I was excited of the possibilities.

when i was about 7ish, i thought people could read my minds. I'd give them a dirty look and think 'i know you can read my mind, so i'm not going to think of anything'. Then i would also sometimes ''tell'' them that i knew exactly what they were also thinking. Hmm....must've confused a couple of people with those looks.....

For the longest time when I was a kid, I used to think every single person on earth besides me were secret alligator aliens that revealed their true form only when I closed my eyes. Their mission is still unclear to me.

when i was a little boy (about 5) i realised that i am the center of the universe and that the whole world circled around me that everybody was there to influence me in some way and if i closed my eyes i wasnt really sure that the world and all the things and people in it are still there
i still kinda belive that

I used to believe…

wnen i was little i use to believe that all people were gods barbie dolls,and all the men were Ken dolls and all the women were barbies. And god would play barbies all day. and since i was such an active kid i use to believe that i was his fav. barbie.

I used to belief I was a cat, and I lived on a cat planet thing... And then I wished on a shooting star to be human. ^_^;;

Me and my younger sister from the firts time we got barbies [i was 4 and she was like 2]to this day still believe that our barbies would come to life at night and plot DOOM [mostly me]. And also that we [people] were actually babies and there were BIGGER forms of something playing with us. And samething for our barbies.We also both feared our barbies...cause we [mostly me] thought they were evil maniacal lifeless creatures of HELL that were brought up to kill or to take over kids minds.8P...yeah to this day...so thats why i got ride of my dolls but she still has hers...but now she has moved on to even more creepy dolls. [bratz]...and they are twice as evil!!!LOOK at the heads man!!!!.....

when i was little, i was convinced that there was a giant invisble string tail-like thing atatched to me. I would run around the house to make a big trail and would try to make it a pretty patern! My parents must have worried about me an awful lot...

when i was little, i did believe that the land of Oz really existed. It took some people to brainwash me, but for the longest time, i thought i was dorothy, because my room is all wizard of oz. and i had a wizard of oz themed birthday party and my mom hired someone to be Glina. When she had to leave I ran up and begged her to take me with her b/c the people of Oz needed me there. I also thought that if i was in a twister, i would end up in oz. but eventually i kind of grew out of that phase. but still question the fact b/c when i typed in Map of Oz in Google images, Australia appeared. Now I am a teen and still think that oz really exists!

I used to believe that I was the only real person & everyone else was a robot

When I was about 6yrs old, my Grandmother would always tell us stories. One night she revealed our family secrets to my brother and I.....we were really cartoon characters! I was the rabbit from Alice In Wonderland, She was Sleeping Beauty, My Grandpa - Prince Charming and the list goes on for every family member. So naturally I went to school and bragged about our family secret and everyone thought it was so cool. Now, about 17yrs later I told my Grandmother that I let everyone on our secret because I thought it was true at that time.....her jaw dropped with disbelief and couldn't believe that we fell for her made up stories.

In the garden I always used to find marbles in the dirt. Having never seen marbles before I belived they were some kind of special rock that grew in the ground.

When I was little, thanks to ideas planted in my head by Toy Story, I used to think that toys came to life when you left the room and went back to their old positions when you came back. I'd say loudly "I am leaving now" to my toys and stand outside my room to try and hear them, but then I thought that they knew I was there. I'd tell them "You know, it's okay, I know you guys can talk, you don't have to hide it," but they'd never talk. Finally I called them all meanies because they wouldn't talk, then I apologized and "forgave" them for not talking, and said that if they wanted, they didn't have to talk to me. I was a weird little kid.
