When I was a little girl, my father told me that "Jack Frost will nip your toes." I took it literally, and even on the hottest nights (before air conditioning), I would never leave my feet uncovered. I must have thought Jack Frost could strike any time of the year if a tootsie was uncovered.

Ever since I was a little kid I've loved drawing in the steam in the shower cabinet. For some reason I've always drawn people. (never flowers or stuff like that)
Now the scary thing is that I thought they'd come alive and come after me. (I still do, and I'm fifteen!) So to be safe I had to wipe of the "drawing". Strange thing is that I just can't resist drawing in the steam. And every time I end up scared.

When I was in kindergarten, I used to be rather spastic at church. The older kids used to tell me that Santa Claus walked around the place and watched you, and the reason I couldn't see him was because my eyes were too small. For the rest of the time I'd go to church around Christmas, I'd always keep my eyes open REALLY wide.
I used to belive that santa lived in my attic, and that he could see everything i did, and if I was'nt nice, I would get no presents.. so I was always very nice around christmas-time, so that santa would give me gifts.. Of course, this was just something my mom made up, so I would be nice to people...

It was the summer me and my twinbrother turned five, we went down in the basement, even if we weren't allowed to go there. suddenly my brother tripped and fell over a box with christmas stuff. a santa claus figure fell out of the box and smashed at the ground. we got really upsett because we were sure it was the real santa and that bryan had killed him. we didn't dare tell our parents that we had killed santa so next christmas our uncle had dressed like santa and came with our presents. me and bryan totally freaked out because we thought that it was santas gohst that came to revenge.... you can't immagine how relieved we were whrn we found out that it was uncle and not a gohst!!!

When we were kids, my brother and I used to play outside after dark at evenings. My mom used to say that if we didn't come in, would "hands anf teeth" or "hender og tenner" in Norwegian come and take us away! for many years I thought that "hender og tenner" was something scary that was in the forest.. It was really scary...

I believed like many other children that the toothfairy came and collected my teeth when I lost them, but what I also believed was that if I let the teeth lay on the bathroomfloor for a long time I got more money.

In 1958 I moved from hawaii to new jersey. we drove across the u.s. and took a long 3 week vacation to do it. Iwas very bored so I made up an imaginary purple dinasourh who ran beside the car all the way across the states..and he looked just like Barney long before there was Barney.

I used to think that the weird crunching-type noise the refrigerator makes sometimes was a mouse. I would get really excited at the thought of having a pet, and he's be so grateful that I saved him from the cold fridge.
I used to believe Peter Pan was going to come for me at night, like he did for Wendy. So before I went to bed, I would have to brush my hair and put on my best dress, laying it out perfectly on the bed, as to be ready when he came.
The jerk stood me up!

When I was younger, I believed in santa so strongly, I fought with kids at school to prove that he was real! i would always get into fights with my friends, and I thought that Santa would give me more presents if I stood up for him! Sometimes, my older brother would write letters to Santa, questioning his existence, and I would get soo mad at him!
I was quite lonely growing up. My solution was to create to imaginary friends, but whenever I tried to play with them they would shut me out and only play with each other...
