make-believe

I used to believe…

when i was little, my mum always told me that every mother has a little invisible elf that watches the children for the entire year. then, on thanksgiving they would go back to the north pole and tell father christmas if the kids were good or not. it scared me, i didn't like the idea of a little invisible man watching me take a bath..but it made me behave!

I used to believe…

father christmas is supposed to come down the chimminy right? well, when i was little, we didn't have a fireplace. so, my mum told me that he had a magic-glowing key that he would open the doors of homes that dont have fireplaces with.

When I was little, like 4 or 5, I had an imaninary friend named Jemma. I also have a real life sister named Emma... so things sometimes got confusing. One day, my dad sat down at the table and I started to cry because he had just squished Jemma, but he miss heard me and jumped up and yelled, thinking he had sat on my sister. OH well.. I still have Emma, but sometimes Jemma might be better.

When I was six, I had an imaginary friend. His name was Barney and he was a biker who acted kinda like The Fonz. Barney was the same age as me and would always tell me about going into bars and traveling the world with his friends. The Taj Mahal, Mt. Everest, Cinncinatti...

There was also Barney's sister, Angela. She was a prissy, preppy teenager who liked to talk about boys, nail polish and general girly stuff. She had a crush on the guy who sat next to us (yes, they did go eveywhere with me) in Kindergarten. After dinner, we would always gossip about him and our teacher.

When I was younger my older brother told me that I was a vulcan(from star trek). I believed him too because my ears were slightly pointed. He told me that one day they would come and take me back to their planet. It was a couple of years before I learned the truth, that star trek wasn't real.

i used to beleive that sant was real and my older bro always said that dont open your eyes or else santa will go away. one night when i thought santa came in my bedroom i opened my eyes and noticed that it was my mum and i screamed and i wet the bed. the problem is my mum tells all my friends when they come round and i get dead embarrase. illl never live it down.

Throughout elementary school I was convinced that there was a ghost that lived in the girls bathroom. My so called friends told me that they had seen it and it threatened them with a knife. Naturally I was scared to death whenever I had to pee and got outta there as soon as possible.

We also used to believe that this drain type thing with little holes in it was full of eyeballs. We spent our recesses staring down the little holes trying to see if there was an eyeball looking back at us. We were demented little children. Haha!

i used to think that when i went to the bathroom at the end of the hallway, i had to run back to the living room or else a witch would jump out and grab me where the hallway turns. the weird thing was that somehow i could ru through the witch.
i still run through that hallway.

i used to believe that when you erased anything you drew in pensil with an eraser, it would be in the pencil forever.
i thought that if you broke the pencil in half, the drawing would come to life! so everytime i had a pencil i would draw a person, erase it really good, and break the pencil in half.
i never saw anyone climb out of my broken pencils so i figured that they must be invisible for the first few hours. imagine a kid in the back of the class talking to her broken pencil and yelling at it and having a conversation with it...yes i was a strange child

When I was younger i asked my dad what the tooth fairy was. He replied "Its a big fat man in diapers" So until i was seven i kept asking him why the floor didn't break when he came! Boy was i dumb!

When I was little I found a rock up in the mountains with a hole in it that had another piece of rock that fit right over the hole. I was sure a troll lived in the tiny rock, so i brought it home with me. About a month later I lost a remote, socks, and other small things that I lose all the time, and was convinced the troll stole them all!

When i was about 4 my mother would threaten me with the "naughty corner." I was sent there once and made an imajinary friend and would beg my mother to put me into the "naughty corner" just so i could talk. When i was allowed out i'd start crying sayin it was unfair. that was my real punishment! lol

When i was 4, i had an imaginary friend named iggy, he had blue hair and was the perfect image of a goth, my older sister who was 6 at the time had an imaginary friend named rosie who rode a motorcycle and always crashed through the roof of my parents' car.
My sister stopped playing with rosie in 1999, i stopped playing with iggy then too.
I am now 12 and my new imaginary friend is a demon chicken named bob who tells people things that annoy them.

i used to belive that chalkzone was real, my friends never helped, they had me close my eyes and turn around then they would pretend to jump in the hole and really go hide behind a bush and yell your turn miranda and i would get so mad when i could not get through

I used to believe that the devil lived behind my bedroom curtains.Every night in my dreams he would throw my covers off and lift me in the air.I got so sick of being scared I told him to **** *** one night and he never came back.I am sure freud would have had a field day....

When we were out in the woods taking my little cousin Rachael for a walk, (she was about 4-5 at the time), she was looking at the flowers shouting, "Look! A boy fairy hat! And look! A girl fairy hat too!" She'd been looking at the wild flowers, and thought the blue flowers were for boy hats and the pink for girls.
