make-believe

I used to believe…

when i was little my mom and aunt would tell me that at the top of electrical towers , there was witches and they would come get me if i didn't sit in my car seat, i always thought that when they blinked red, that it was the witches eyes blinking at me.

I used to believe…

when my sister and i were little, we would go to stores like home depot. well stores like that had concrete floors, and there were always stains and spots all over them, so we thought that ghosts left them, so we would follow them and go ghost hunting.....we used to call it "following the clues"

When I was 5-6, I had two imaginary friends that I adored named Rufus and Tanya. I remember that Rufus was a green and blue dog and that Tanya didn't have a leg (I later gave her an auto-mail, which I called at the time, a "shiny leg") We had a lot of fun times...

However, my family wasn't too happy about my imaginary friends. One morning, my mom decided she had had enough with Rufus and Tanya and told me that they had packed their bags and left early that morning. Being so young, I believed my mom and I was heartbroken. I waited at the stoop for days seeing if they'd come back home, but they sadly didn't.

I'm now 21 and seven months pregnant with a girl. When my daughter gets to the age where she has imaginary friends, I won't do what my mom did about my imaginary friends. Well, I'll TRY, lol.

I used to think Santa Claus watched us through the VCR. I couldn't believe he just KNEW if I was bad and just KNEW what I wanted... he had to have a way to be in our house. So if I did something wrong, I made sure it was not in the living room- away from the VCR.

my friend, jealous of my imaginary dragon, decided she had an imaginary friend too. "his name is bob." she never disclosed any information on bob, but they would often come over to my house and spend long periods locked in different rooms. they would go home at night together.

My little sister, who's like twelve years younger than me, had THE best imaginary friend ever. His name was simply "boy", he lived in the cupboard with her nappies and he could fly and change sizes...you could ask her any question about "boy" and she would answer it.

When I was about 5 or 6, I remember playing school. Only, I would only play it on the toilet. I guess to keep myself occupied?

Anyway, I had about 10 students, and for some reason or another, they were all dogs. I only remember two distinctly, one was a spotted bull dog named Butch, who was the bully. The other was a black boxer named Roxy, and she was the popular girl.

my sister used to believe that the boogey man was under her bed.....and always got dressed in the living room.....o and i used to believe that when i flushed the toilet the candy man would fly out...o and when i was little i was afraid that freddy kruger would stick his blades through my back.

When i was 9-10 i had a imaginary friend called Cody. I always talked to him and write in my diary to him.im 11 now and still talk to him when im alone. Also when i look at my reflectiong in my mirrors its like i got a twin sister.

I used to believe…

When my friend and I were in 3rd grade we believed in leprchauns, and started our own leprechaun club, We made leprechaun stew and left it in a hole until the next recess, and it had magically disappeared! We even looked in the grass and "found" the letters T, Y, K, and M: T being thank, Y being you, K being the first letter of my name, and M being the first letter of my friends name. The best part is that we got the whole school looking for leprechauns. We still laugh to this day.

When I was around the age of six, I got my ears pierced. One of them got very infected, and I had to let it heal over; there was a lump of skin growing over the back of the stud. Months later, it had healed, except for a lump of scar tissue... that lump was my imaginary friend. Its name was Stacy, and she would tell me what was going on behind me.
I cried when Stacy dissapeared.

I was a confused child.
I was terrified of christmas, the very THOUGHT of a big scary fat old guy coming into our house at night horrified me!
I always double-checked that all the doors were locked on Christmas, and I was shocked my parents would let strangers come into our house!!!

I used to believe…

When I was younger, I used to talk to my shadow. I named her Trinity and always played tag with her. I also sat on my swing set and complained that she always went higher than me. I was weird. Sometimes, when I was on the swings, I would close my eyes and imagine that i was flying above the clouds and eventually I would meet Jesus and go to ice cream world.

Pathetic, I Know.

I used to have four imaginary friends,Elizabeth,Anabelle,Cheryl and Victoria.I didn't let anyone know as they will think I am a nuisance I play , shop, studied with them but since I am 17 I am more realistic and had more real frinds.

I used to believe…

When I was like four I had two imaginary friends named Sharlye and I cant remember the other one's name i want to say lucy... anyway they were my BFFs and I took them to preschool and whenever I did something bad i blamed it on them and one day my mom said if sharlye and that other person does something bad I'll get grounded so they disappeared for a year and they came back when I was five

I used to believe that fairies are real (who didn't believe that when they were young? :D ) My sister and I would make fairy houses in our garden and hope that some fairies would move in.

I used to believe…

when i was younger i thought that at disney world that when "tinkerbelle" would fly around the magic castle i actually thought that it was actually an actress who did that instead of the lighting thing that they do i had a active imagination as a child
