make-believe

I used to believe…

Since Santa Claus had his sleigh to go from house to house, what did the Easter Bunny use to get around? Well, for some reason, I used to believe he drove around in a black Mercedes Benz.

I have two friends pumpy and pumpkin, they are cousins. Pumpy is pumpkin pie and pumpkin is a pumpkin. Whenever pumpy loses crumbs, I always eat them, and she says thank you. I pretend that pumpkin is my cousin on a TV show. I pretend that my dad's cell phone is her wheelchair and that when they die I will make a pumpkin funeral as long as they don't rot.

when i red a book of jabberwocky with illsurations i imagined the actual monster looked like a bird crossed with a dragon and a lion and he had a huge big beak with sharp, long teeth sticking out instead in the book he looked like a large bird with big bug eyes i wish i could find a place that sells that book because on one of the pages it has pictures or all the monsters he's killed (including the jabberwocky) all i seem to remember seeing there was a stag's head with pink and black stripes and a funny looking blue lion with funny attene thingys on his head.

My father got a camcorder for his birthday one year, and decided to make a Christmas tape for the kids. He opened the back door, stuck a boot in it, and recorded just the boot sitting in the doorway. (We had no chimney, so Santa came in the back door) He claimed he caught Santa Clause leaving the house after putting our presents under the tree, but all he saw of him was the boot.

We believed him for years--even though he recorded the boot doing nothing for almost a full 2 minutes.

I used to believe that the way Santa Claus knew what I wanted for Christmas was that my mom simply called the North Pole and phoned the order in. I thought you learned Santa Claus's phone number in college. "Okay, you're an adult now, so here's what you'll need to know. First, if you need to get ahold of Santa Claus, here's the number you call..."

When I was a child, my first imaginary friend was Batman. I walked up to my parents one day when I was about 5 or 6 and said "Mom, Dad...I want you to meet my boyfriend" Then I pointed to "Batman" and said "His name is Batman." My dad actually stuck his hand out and "shook hands" with Batman. Yeah, being the youngest of 5...I guess nothing shocks my parents at this point.

When i was little , i belived that Santa came down from the chimney during christmas. I was living in an apartment and so i didnt have a chimney so i didnt think that santa would ever give me presents for christmas.

When my neighbor and I were little kids, she had a bar in her basement. Behind the bar was all this alcohol, but there was a bottle of vodka, that scared us to death. There was some sticky brown substance on the front of it, and we thought the bottle housed a ghost. We never ever played close to the bar for fear that the ghost would come out and kill us. I guess that explains why I still don't drink vodka!

Most people know the urban legend about Bloody Mary right? The ghost who appears in the mirror? Anyways when I was in 1st grade, me and my cousin were at my neighbor's house. We were all in the basement and my neighbor said, "White water means that Bloody Mary is coming to kill you!" Later when we were playing in the bathroom, we turned on the sink and white water came out! (It was just cloudy) Me and my cousin went screaming from the house. We didn't talk the rest of the day, because we we're expecting a call that my neighbor died. I look back and laugh!

I expected my first ferry ride to be a ride on an actual giant fairy. Needless to say when my family arrived at the terminal and we boarded a boat I was most disappointed.

Anyone heard the Carpet Monster!! me and my sister, living apart at the time, have both heard it, it started when i was a child, when your in bed at night and its really quiet the Carpet Monster starts its way from the downstairs to the top, its a slight shuffling sound you can hear at first but the more you listen the louder it gets unitl its nearly in your room then you frantically switch on the light....i never did let it get too close but to this day it still exists!! You Listen.

I had an imaginary friend who was actually my reflection. She looked just like me, of course, but her name was "Jealous" because she was imprisioned behind the mirror. I thought that if I broke the mirror she would be freed and would take her revenge, and that was why it was bad luck to break a mirror.

when i was little, i was beyond the fact that the easter bunny was just a guy in a suit. but i thought the easter bunny was the guy in the costume. i wondered why everyone called him the easter *bunny* and why he wore that stupid costume

i was 2 years old and i was curious about Santa's reindeer, how they were able 2 fly and why Rudolph's nose was red so i asked mom "mom how does Santa's reindeer fly" her awnswer was that Santa gave them magic mushrooms i also asked "why does Rudolph have a red nose she told me that he ate lots of red stuff so his nose went red.

I had an imaginary friend named Teter. He was an elephant. I got him when i sat down on a teter toter and went straight up but noone was on the other side so I thought it was a invisible elephant

Despite being in my mid-twenties, I have a very active imagination. Ever since seeing a certain Japanese horror film some years ago, I have been convinced that the vengeful ghost of an angry little girl is lurking somewhere in my house every night. Lights and pillows tucked behind my back seem to keep this fear away, but I still walk a little faster going up the stairs every night....and I don't dare to look behind me!

When I was in first grade, around Christmas, our class learned about Christmas around the world. We learned about the French Santa named Pere Noel. Children would leave their shoes outside the door and Pere Noel would fill them with candy and sweets. If you were bad his helper, Black Peter, would spank you! Our teacher had us leave our shoes outside the classroom door so Pere Noel could fill them with candy. I was so excited that while we were waiting I peeked outside. I saw a small little elf-like man dressed in black. He was dancing at the end of the hallway! Later that night I wanted to try it again. So I left my shoes outside the door for literally like 5 minutes, then checked outside and there was candy in them! But, no one had been outside! I'm still trying to figure out how it all happened!

I was told since a child that there was a Santa Clause. I never saw him before, then when in 1965 when I was 5 he came to my house and I hid under the bed. It wasn't untill when I sat on his lap that I believed in Santa!

I used to have an imaginary friend, who for some reason I called Carol Leaf. I had actually thought it was the name of a friend of my sister's, and i recalled asking her, but she insisted she never had a friend by that name. So started telling me I made it up, and she told my mom that I had an imaginary friend, so I went along with it, to make them happy. She did things like that all the time.... sisters.. geez

I used to believe that a witch flew around the neighbourhood at night and peeked through the small gap at the top of the curtains into little boys and girls bedrooms with one big red eye. The only way to stop her from getting you was to have every part of your body covered by blankets except for your head, which of course, was so that you could see the witch when she looked in.
