make-believe

I used to believe…

Of course most parents tell their kids about Santa. And of course the older you get the less you believe in such. I'm 17 now, but when I was 8 I copied the traps that you see on Looney Tunes and other cartoons (You know the one with rope and the hole, and when you stepped in it you were trapped). I slept right next to tree with the rope in my hands. After 3 hours worth of waiting I saw a shadow in the hole and pulled. I ended up tripping my dad, and finding the truth about Santa.

At a sleep over, my friend Becca told me the tale of bloody mary. I had to belive her; she was older than me! She stood outside the door and I said, "Bloody Mary, I hath killed your child" I herd a deep womans voice say, "Hath killed my child?! YOUR LIFE I SHALL TAKE! YOUR LIMBS I WILL BREAK!!!!" I ran out the door screaming. When I ran into Becca, she said, "Dude, it was just mom. There's no bloody mary" From now on, my bathroom door is wide open and ALL lights are on when I use the bathroom.

I had two imaginary friends when I was little. One when I was 5-10 was my reflection. She followed me around and we had interesting conversations. One day, while taking my bath, Heretek (her name, for some reason) desided to come out of the mirror, so she did. Then she told me she was moving to a strange planet called Tapuchki. Sometimes she came back and visited me.

My second imaginary friend was named Blu and she was actually my imaginary twin sister. She was in all my classes and was friends with all my friends. Blu eventually joined Heretek on Tapuchki when I was fourteen.

When I was younger, I believed that my reflection in the miror was somebody from another world who came to see me everytime I wanted. My paretns thought I was crazy because I would get up on mornings, go into their room (they had a huge miror in their bedroom but I didn't) tell "me" to be quiet because my parents were sleeping... I would wake them up everytime and for days I would be mad at the miror because she had made my parents mad at me.

I have a set of imaginary friends from an anime show and a set of imaginary friends from a manga. I only call them imaginary because they're anime characters but they exist and being anime characters does not mean they do not exist, so be quiet! Anyway, the ones from the anime show are evil and annoying and the ones from the manga are kind and hyper and cool. And I'm tempted to get imaginary friends from another anime I'm obsessed with, but I'm having trouble deciding since I have two friends at school who are also obsessed with that anime and they might be mad that they don't have those characters for friends.

I used to believe that I had a hamster that only I could see. Then my sister started petting him occasionally so I was rather disappointed because she could see it. His name was Skippy.

I used to have an imaginary friend named Mr. Tree, except he wasn't imagined. He was a real tree out infront of my house. Don't remember what kind he was. But he talked to me through feelings, not really words. I always asked about how Mrs. Tree was. And I think that Mrs. Tree wasn't a tree, but the earth itself.

I miss Mr. Tree. He's still there at my old house too.

My best friend all through school had quite a lot of imaginary friends, namely Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Yes, ALL of them. But she didn't like Snow White and always locked her in the closet. Doc was her favorite dwarf, and when she finally decided she didn't want to play with him anymore, she put him in a shoebox in the basement and left him there. No one knows what happened to the others.

At about the age of six, I believed that two little penguins lived under the pews in my family's church. I saw them peeking out at me from beneath the pew in front of us on quite a few occasions when we were kneeling and praying. Sometimes I whispered quietly to them to see if they'd play with me, but they never did anything but sit there and stare, so I eventually gave that up and just watched them.

Years later I realized that the "penguins" had actually been the high-heeled shoes of the woman sitting in front of me. They were black on the top and white on the bottom, so when the woman knelt and the heels were sticking out, they looked like little tuxedoed birds! Good thing I never tried to touch them or told anyone about my little friends.

I used to believe in the tooth faerie. One day, when i lost a tooth, i put it under my pillow. the next day, i checked it and there wasnt any money, so i ran to my parents and said that the tooth fairy didnt give me anything. Since it was my parents that put the money under the pillow, they said we dont have any coins right now, and iwas confused, lol, (im 11)

When I was in elementary school, I hung out with some of the cool girls in school and we were always competing with the other cool girls in different classes, starting trends like making up clubs and stuff (like the spice girls club!) Well, in 7th grade, (middle school) my friend Libby, me and a few other girls all knew this turkey named Turkey, and he was a really funny turkey, gobbling and strutting around my middle school and stuff. Turkey didnt have all the same classes as us, so when Libby and I were in History class, Turkey would come by and wave hi to us, making sure our teacher didnt see. One day Libby saw Turkey at the door and told me. We both looked over and waved to him. Well, our teacher saw this and asked who we were waving at. Libby and I were at a loss for words, but it was really damn funny.

I used to think that if you dumped green Kool-Aid on the lawn at night, zombies would come out of the ground and "get" me. I was terrified for years and years until I did it and nothing happened. I had lived in fear for 4 years. How 'bout that?

I used to believe that well one time I rented a seseme street movie and it had a segment where ernie and bert went to tis pyramid and saw a mummy that looked like them and ernies was alive well i had fixed in my little head that *pyramid ernie* lived in the attic off my room and when i slept he watched me from behind my bed and if i stepped on the pink fuzzy stuff on the floor of the attic it would be this endless hole type thing and pyramid ernie would grab my foot and pull my foot down there

*shivers*

When I was about three or four, my parents took me to France for a holiday. I had recently watched Puff the Magic Dragon, and it was my favourite film. One day, we were walking down a busy boulevard, when my old man told me a rather amazing story about Puff. He told me that he had been stuck on an island when he was small, and that Puff had rescued him, and that only kids rescued by Puff could talk to him. He said that since he'd been rescued, he was allowed to give one other person the gift of being able to speak to Puff, and he gave that gift to me. Apparently, when you talked to Puff, only you and puff could hear it.

This resulted in me running down the boulevard, getting odd looks as I yelled at the top of my voice, "PUFF PUFF I LOVE YOU PUFF! YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND PUFF!" to some nonexistant dragon. My dad will never let me forget about that day..

When I was 8 years old I had an imaginary hamster. It had a three room box with shredded toilet paper in it. I carried that thing with me everywhere. I even cleaned the 'dirty' bedding on a regular basis, it used to make my cousin SO mad! (She was a year older and MUCH wiser..lol) It's amazing how real that stupid thing seemed.
