kids: i'm different

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.

I used to believe…

Whenever i was naughty, my mom would say i wasn't allowed to have my ice-cream or dessert after dinner that night. i would become so distraught that i would tell her i was going to run away, and then i would run up to my room and write her a note saying i wasn't ever coming back, and then just go hide in our little cupboard under the stairs. After years of experience, my mom now knows exactly where to find me. XD

I used to believe…

When I was very young, I didn't grasp the concept that just because I wasn't around, things still happened. Self-centered, I know. I would wonder how a person or thing got from where I last saw them, to where I was seeing them at that moment. That didn't last long; either I figured it out or I just stopped caring.

I used to believe…

My school sometimes had "special" kids come talk to us about living with a disability. I wanted to be special too so I would walk around dragging one leg and talking like I had Down Syndrome. I'm sure my parents were impressed!

I used to believe…

When I was small I played with doll houses and so I believed that we were just dolls being played with and up in the sky where we couldn't see them was a few kids playing doll house.

A while ago, I believed that my thougths were displayed outloud, and things I pictured were projected above my head. I felt guilty about thinking during church services and during moments of silence because I thought that people could hear me. I soon tried everything to not think mean things!

I used to wonder if I might be an alien from another planet, and my whole life is just a really long, detailed dream that I'm having, and when I die, I'll wake up as the alien, then tell the other aliens alllll about the dream (there'd be a lot to tell). I'm still not sure if that could be true...

I was convinced that I was actually once a kid on the TV show "Arthur" but they had too many charectors so they changed my apperence and sent me out of the TV into the real world. The other charectors would occasionally talk to me and Arthur's dog and my dog were best friends.

I used to believe…

When i was a child i thought everytime i did something that i wasnt supposed to be doing it would come up on my moms camera and when she developed the pictures it would have a picture of me doing that specific thing i wasnt supposed to be doing and i would get in HUGE trouble.

good thing i know now that someone actually has to TAKE the picture.

Until I was aobut eight I used to belive each month started with just the name. For example, Janauary's first day was simply called "January and was followed by January 1st. "February" would be the first day of the month followed by February 1st.

I used to believe…

When at McDonald's as a child, i saw a Ronald McDonald Statue with some type of glossy coating on it, Instantly I knew someone was trapped inside there. The same went for all statues that i seen at that age.

After seeing an afterschool show, I believed my mind, if I believed, could make ANYTHING happen. So I tested this theory by sitting outside the house and staring at the wall. I believed I could create a door in the wall. When nothing appeared after an hour, I lamented that I must not have had enough belief.

I used to believe…

until i was about 12, i used to believe that the Earth moved when I walked instead of me moving when I walked. Kind of like a treadmill. Im now 16 and I still dont know why I thought that. Oh well!

i always thought that my whole life was a movie and everyone else was in on it except me, i was convinced everyone else had a script to follow and i was the only one who wasn't in on it. long before this concept ever hit hollywood

When I was a little girl, I used to believe that we were all puppets. Whenever I did something wrong I would tell my Mom it wasn't me they made me do it. I don't know where I got this idea, but, I believed it so strongly that I would lay in my bed and try to quickly swat at the air to feel the strings. Silly I know!

I used to believe…

when i was in 3rd grade, not even 5 yrs ago, i had watched to movie The Exorcist and got totally paranoid that i was going to get posessed. well i got so paranoid that i thought if i said the word Chobosoko, i would be posessed.

I use to think no one exsisted until I met them.. Like their "past" was just a story, never really happened. I just figured the world revolved around me.. In some ways I guess I still do..
