kids

I believed that I vas special, that when I grow up I will save the world somehow and make myself famous, that I`ll be the first one who will speak with aliens, that I will be the first one who will fly myself...

Ohh...childhood... =D

When i was little me and my older sister had to share a room(and a bed). So of course if i was awake she was awake. In order to get me to go to sleep at night she told me that when i fell asleep at night all my stuffed animals and toys came to life and had a big party,and that if i fell asleep quickly at night for a whole month straight they would wake me up and i could attend their party. To this day i get a little creept out by the stuffed animals that lay all over my daughters room!

I used to believe…

im 12 and have the BIGGEST collection of teddies(plushies/stuffed animals) in the world! i used to believe that once i went to sleep they talked about what they'd done in the day. so i used to pretend to be asleep and listen very carefully. trust me, i am so good at pretending to be asleep now, people shake me all the time just to check(im a deep sleeper, and a foghorn in my ear wouldn't wake me)

I used to believe that I was actually mentally retarded but I was SO severely retarded that I didn't even realize it. No one would tell me because they didn't want to hurt my feelings. I even asked my mom several times if I was retarded and people were just pretending for my sake that I wasn't. (The irony now is that my son is autistic and I am extra careful to protect his self-image.)

when i was little i used to believe that if i didn't kiss all my stuffed animals each night before i went to bed that they would get mad and kill me during the night. there were about 100 of them just next to my bed and my bedtime used to take forever because i had to kiss each one.

I used to believe that ET could come and kill you at night--but only if you had all of your stuffed animals in a big group. I always had to have mine in a big long single file line--that way, ET couldn't hide among them.

I went through a stage where I used to believe that I was a cat. I would "meow' and purr. Thank god I grew out of that one!

I was a little girl and my Mom told me she was going to buy me a "jumper". I was so excited because I thought she meant like a "Pogo Stick". I couldn't wait til she got home and when she did, the only "jumper" she had for me was a dress! Can we say "DISAPPOINTING"????

When I was about 9 years old, I won a 6 foot tall yellow rabbit in a drawing. I propped it up in my room and, perhaps misled by it's life-sizeness, convinced myself that if he didn't eat, he would die.

I remember sneaking some of my mom's cherry cobbler in my room one night and trying to feed the rabbit. He didn't eat it, but I still have a vivid memory of his yellow and white face with red cherry juice on his felt tongue and whiskers.

I used to believe that all of the favorite toys and clothes I lost ended up caught in a Lost Things Loft, and that all I had to do was find that loft and I'd find all my old toys. I even had vivid dreams about that loft, full up to the knees with old loved toys. I'd wake up and try to draw a map before I "forgot" where the loft was so I could find it later that day.

When I was little I thought that my life was a tv show and everyone around me were actors. I thought I was the star, and when I was alone in a room, I would narrate what was going on. I believed this for years, and sometimes I still think there's a hidden camera in my office or bedroom.

(the bathroom had cameras too!!!)

When I was about 4 or 5, I used to think, that if I went through a different door or gate (like in the store or zoo) than my mom, that when we came out on the other side, I would be in a different dimension and that the mom on this side was evil!! LOL!

When I was a kid, I used to sleep with my Dapper Dan doll. Then one Christmas, I was given a teddy bear and believed that I could not sleep with both. So I sat my Dapper Dan down and explained to him very compassionately that he could no longer sleep in my bed, but that it was okay because I had set him up with his very own apartment on the headboard complete with his own tv, toys and refridgerator and that he could come visit at any time.

When I was little I believed that our world was controlled by giants. They used us as you would a dollhouse. I used to lay on the floor and hide from the window so they wouldn't find me.

I had a dream once that I was one of my dolls...and I could taste whatever food I saw. So I started to believe that my dolls and stuffed animals could do the same. I would put a little bit of food in front of their eyes and then up to their mouth so they could taste it.

my family used to say that i talked too much and I was in the bathroom looking down my throat and saw my epiglottis and ran screaming down the stairs announcing hysterically that I was growing two tongues...my mum stil says shut up or you will grow another one
