When my brother was about 6 he was concerned that Santa would have a difficult time getting into our house because we didn't have a chimney. The only logical solution to him was to leave the front door unlocked. Sometime during the night a gust of wind blew the door open. We woke up Christmas morning to arctic conditions in our living room complete with inch-deep snow drifts on the carpet.

I used to believe that there was a little lady that lived in my bed and would sew my feet to my sheet if I didn't tuck my blankets under my feet.

My dad goes on trips a lot, and when I was younger, I didn't bother asking where. So when my older sister told me that he was a secret purple alien spy from Mars in disguise who visited his home planet on his trips, I believed her. I was scared of my dad for a week.

I used to believe that there was a birdman that lived in a dumpster in the field across from my old home because my sister told it to me so I wouldn't follow her and her friends when they'd go out to the field to smoke.

One Christmas I noticed that my mom and Santa had the same handwriting. When I pointed this out to my mom she said, "Santa has lots of helpers." It suddenly all made sense. My mom was one of Santa's helpers and she didn't go to work because she was secretly making toys somewhere. Maybe even in our house! I never did find the secret toy factory in my house.

I used to believe that when I closed my eyes, a group of tiny aliens appeared and started dancing and having a party. When I opened my eyes they disappeared. I figured that since there was no way for me to prove that they didn't exist, they must.

I've known Father Christmas wasn't real nearly all my life, but I used to think that the easter bunny was real. I also used to think he was green and very fast.

I used to believe…

Up until I was 9 years old, I was absolutely CONVINCED I was a fairy. I'm the only brunette kid in my entire family and all of my siblings have blue eyes, while I have green. I accused my mom of lying to me, saying that I was really adopted, so how could she know if I wasn't a fairy? Then she showed me pictures and FOOTAGE of my birth... It was proof enough for me to decide that I'm not a fairy, and that if I ever want to have kids, I'm going to need serious mental therapy.

When I was 4, I used to believe that I'd be abducted in my sleep, whether by aliens or a robber, so I'd bury myself under all my stuffed animals (there were at least 50 of them). I found out later that it was a good plan, because 2 weeks after I started this habit my mom came in my bedroom to check on me... and panicked when she thought I was missing. :)

My cousin used to tell me that there were some wild boar behind the windows .. And he used to tell me that if i didn't sleep fast the wild boar will come to me and will eate me !! So i would alway be scared and watched the window everytime ..

When i was little i thought everyone except me was an alien but covered themselves in human form so i wouldn't see them, so I would pretend to be doing something and turn around really quickly to catch them out, i never did.

I used to believe that when i walked passed plants they would be waving at me, and if it was a good day even the tress would be saying Hello, i thought that i was a queen, i would even give them a wave back but maybe it was just the wind or maybe they just wanted to say hello.
