make-believe

I used to believe…

My imaginary friend was a man called Turner (no first name, just Turner) who came to live in my room because his ex-wife took his house after he cheated on her. He was a businessman but would always leave the house before my dad did because my dad always ignored him. He used to boss me around when I got home and tell me to do my homework. He was useful though, because he remembered things my conscious mind didn't. In the end he left to marry Cleopatra (the Egyptian queen, who I believed was still alive at this time).

I used to believe…

My grandparents told me if I didn't finish my dinner (which was pork- yuck!) the Flashlight Monster would come and eat me. Just then, a flashlight was looming around outside the window. I scarfed down my food quick! ...Later I discovered it was my uncle.

I used to believe…

When I was about 7 or 8 my best friend convinced me that she was a vampire and that she could do a spell to turn water into blood, even though it just looked like water. One day she told me that she turned me into a vampire over night and I believed it for months.
My freshman year of high school I was in a class with a girl who had lived on my street when I was a kid. She was like "Hey you're that girl who told my little sister that you were a vampire". Soooo awkward.

I used to believe…

When I was 5, I was convinced that Frankenstein lived in my bathroom. I would watch my door until I drifted to sleep, just knowing that moment I shut my eyes, he would appear and flush me down the toilet to his sewer home.

I used to believe…

When I was little I used to watch "Seasame Street" all the time and one of the episodes Burt and Ernie are fishing. Burt is not catching anything oso ernie goes "Here Fishie fishie!" and a fish jumps in the boat. well I was out fishing with my dad and we were not catching any thing, so I do this and suddenly we are getting bites!!! to this day my dad will ask me to call the fishies in at random times.... I AM 26!!! .... still works though! lol

I used to believe the Tooth Fairy was a small winged rabbit dressed like Tinkerbell.

I used to believe…

When I lost my first tooth the tooth fairy left me a note under my pillow and signed it Phoebe. I was little and had never seen this name before so as i tried to pronounce it out loud my mom corrected my pronunciation halfway through the name, from across the room. Nice job mom, I didn't even get to believe in the tooth fairy. Maybe she did it so she didn't have to give me any money.

I used to believe…

when i was younger my mother and two older sisters convince me that i was an alien, for years i believe it as i am very different from my family.. too this day i sometimes still believe its true, espeically after my 18th birthday my sister made a scrapbook of my life, and put alien things in it.. :(

I used to believe…

When I was a kid, I used to think that I could levitate. I have actual memories in which I'm hovering over my playground at kindergarten, pitying all the non-magically talented children.

I used to believe…

When i was younger i had an imaginary friend called Bubbleinda and she was a pink elephant in a bubble! I used to bring her on holiday and my brother used to ask" where is Bubbleinda?" and i would simply reply "in the bath".

I used to believe…

When I was younger, I use to believe that if I didn't cover up my feet when I was going to bed something bad would happen to me in the middle of the night. Age 7 + horror movies, don't mix.

I used to believe that the popping and thumping sounds of the heat-pipes expanding was little fire-demons climbing up the pipes! I used to put heavy objects over the heat registers to keep the monsters from getting out!

I used to believe that I could float like magicians do on tv and that if I was walking and started to float I could glide around places.

I used to thin that those moving spotlights in the sky above car dealerships were Angels, Aliens or Germs...then after I got old enough I found out it was just a spotlight!

I used to believe that if I stayed up to see Santa, the elves would poke my eyes out with their pointy shoes. All of my older cousins told me this and I never tried staying up to see Santa.

i used to believe that i had really long blonde hair like repanzel and that i used to swing from trees with my long hair.
