Did you ever read the Goosebumps books? What about the one with the man who was really a plant? Well when I was little I actually believed that my parents and all adults were really evil plants out to murder me. I think it took me about 6 months to get over it. I never read another Goosebumps book after that!

When I was a little boy, I use to believe that when we slept too much, mouses were going to tickle our feet because every week-ends, I have a strang feeling on my foot.
So every night I was wearing old socks to have a crazy smell on feet and this technic worked.
But a morning, my mum saw and smelled it. She shouted at me and I tryed to explain her. She laughed and saw that was only by my foult because my feet were out of the sheets and it was only the night's cold. It was a silly and funny moment.
