make-believe

I had an imaginary OmmpaLoompa named Ompi. Myfriend and I belived in Willy Wonka. (later i lerend she was just playing along)

I also had a whole family of imaginary friends when i was very younng. i forget their names, but they lived in a house behing mine.

I used to pretend that I was Supergirl. And that I had a best friend named Thiri.

There was a local realtor named TIRI. So every time that in the classifieds a house for sale had TIRI on top, I would wonder how in the world did they found out about my secret friend Thiri?

Now I have a gamut of characters inside my mind with crazier personalities and life histories.

I use to believe I was the principal of a school. I had thirty-something "students" and I knew all their names and personalities. One was even a half -leopard half girl named leprena.
When started school, I believed it was to make me a better principal. I would make up crazy stories with them, and even now I want to be a writer. I write stories and still use them at times.

One of the neighborhood kids claimed he was a vampire. He had pale skin, pale hair, and a big ugly scar under his eye. He was also bigger than me so it took verly little imagination for me to believe him. When I was about 7 I remember him biting me because I didn't give back his basketball then worrying all night because I thought I was a vampire too.

I am an only child and when I was 5, I figured that I needed a sibling. My parents weren't supplying, so I put matters in my own hands and started having an imagenary friend, Max. After about a month of Max, my parents were getting worried about my health. I remember my mom asking me if I could actually see Max to which I replied, "MOM! He's imagenary!"

until i was 14 and lost my last tooth i didnt tell my mom and dad that i knew the tooth fairy wasn't real because i thought if i stoped believing i wouldnt get money

I used to beleive that the copper that my granny used to boil her clothes in was really her cauldron cos she had long hair and lived in a small farm house in the woods ,I really thought she was a witch

I used to believe…

At one Point I was convinced all of our lives were actually just some movie being played for giant aliens. But, since it was an alien way of tape recording, somehow the movie was able to have all our lives at the same time...
...(like the trafalmadorians!)

When I was little, we lived in a house with yellow carpet in the hallway. After watching the Wizard of Oz, I got it into my head that if I stepped on the yellow carpet, the Wicked Witch of the West would fly out of the dark bathroom at the end of the hall and kidnap me. That's when I began jumping across the hall into my room without touching the carpet in order to to avoid the Witch.

I never believed in the Tooth Fairy. When I was in 1st grade, my beliefs about her being fake were confirmed when I read a book. In it a bunch of kids were arguing over whose parents the REAL Tooth Fairy was. At the end the parents all told the kids that the Tooth Fairy was a joke and there wasn't one. Some of my friends still believed in the Fairy at 12.... I'll never understand how they got that gullible.

When I was little I had a few imaginary friends. There was Emily who wore a pretty blue dress and hair band. And before her I had 3 imaginary poodles. The first one's name was (surprise) Poodles. He was a goldenrod color. The next was Magenta who was a magenta poodle and Poodles' wife and finally there was Juinor Poodle's and Magenta's son who was a tiny goldenrod poodle. (I still have the poodle imaginary friends and im almost a teen)

I used to have an imaginary friend, his name was freddy. He was a giant bagle with cream cheese powers.
We used to always mess with eachother. One day i ate a bagel for breakfast and he became very mad saying "you just ate my cousin!!!" he started throwing cream cheese globs at me. when my mom came into the kitchen i was COVERED in cream cheese (I have no idea how...). she started screaming her head off because the kitchen was covered in creamsheese also.

She told me to go and get a bath, so i did. when i got out of the bath i noticed a big cut on my back. i think my imagenary friend scratched me. Its almost as if my imaginary friend was real......

When my parents decided I was old enough to give up my pacifier (my binky!) they told me I had to leave it in my Easter basket the night before Easter, so the Easter Bunny could take it and give it to children who needed a binky. I believed them, and the Easter bunny left me extra candy that year since I was such a generous child.

i used to tthink that when something happened in history, like a war then the ghosts of the people would keep on fighting and if you had a special gift yu could see it happen

I used to believe…

when i was little i heard my parents talking to each other about dept . At that time i had a bit of a toilet phobia and thought that dept was quite a sinister sounding word . I started calling the toilet ' dept'.
I also had a picture of a rabbit in my bedroom which i used to call Po and a doll that I called Red Spider Mite because it had red hair.
I also went through a phase of calling my mum Sally, my grandma 'Pippi' , my dad something i can't even spell , something like Gogalgogalar and my uncle Fireman Sam.

When I was little, I found a bone on the side of our house. I now know that it was just a chicken bone that probably fell out of the garbage, but at the time, the only logical conclusion I could make was that it was an alien bone. I put the entire neighborhood on alert, and for the rest of the summer - when we weren't sitting in a circle in my front lawn, holding hands and attempting to channel the aliens - all of the kids would spend hours on their assigned "posts" watching for the UFO's to come back.

During a famly vacation we traveled down the West Coast, my parents told me that Washington was named after a president that died. We ended the trip in California and visited Santa Barbara. I thought this is where Santa's wife had died and he would be mad if I went there.

I use to believe that when I was sleeping at Christmas eve, Santa would come to my house and let some presents. And I stayed all night over waiting him until I could sleep.
