I used to believe…

At the movie theater, they had 'Show Tunes' so music was playing in the theaters while you waited for the commercials/previews to start, I used to think there were people behind the screen playing the music.

When I was about 3, I watched this movie where a woman got bewitched and became very old. Then she turned back to normal, her face got younger and younger looking, and I thought they had used different aged women to go in and out of the room to shoot that scene. I was so proud to have figured it all out!

I used to belive that the people who was on tv could see me just like I could see them... I never walked past the tv without being dressed, and before my favourite show (starring a boy I had a crush on) I put on a pretty dress and borrowed mum`s lipstick....

i used to think that when two people kissed in movies and on tv that it was some kind of special effect and it wasn't real. i thought it impossible that they actually made two people kiss

I used to believe that the TV show i was watching stopped in the exact place when I turned the tube off. Later did I learn that the program came on at 7:30am and 3:30pm, right before i went to school and right when i got home from school. idiot,

I used to believe that people lived inside the tv

I used to believe…

when i was 5 me and my older brother watched childs play (chucky) and after the movie i was terrified, i did a huge jump into my bed thinking chucky was under there but my brother was, after a while i finally turned my light off and at that time a hand touched me, i jumped of my bed and climbed up my cuboard, i thought chucky could'nt reach me up here, in the moring my dad found me curled up in a ball sleeping on top of the cuboard.

When I was young, I was really gullable (I still am!!!), and I was also a fan of the japanese cartoon Pokemon. There was a big tree in our schoolyard, and I believed that if I pulled on all of the branches at once a gate to the world of Pokemon would open. It never worked, because (or so I thought) not enough people would help me pull the branches. I only managed three at the same time. :(

I was (and still am) a big fan of Mary Poppins it was truly magical and eveything seemed to be real. I honestly thought that you could fit anything in a carpet bag,fly up chimneys and float when you laugh but out of all of them i thought you could jump into chalk pictures. As i was out with my mum when i was little, we walked past an artist drawing chalk pictures and i stood by one. I did the little rhyme by Bert in the film and jumped onto the picture. I opened my eyes only to find an angry artist staring at me. Before he could do anything my mum apologised and quickly dragged me away. I was so disappointed that it didn't work.

i used to think that if you watched a movie or a show on tv and then you went and watched it on a bigger tv you would see the backstage crew and the cameras and stuff in the extra space that wasnt there before..whoops!

I always wanted to be a disk jockey. I was going to be TJ the DJ. This all went fine until I learned that the DJ used records, then I lost interest. Up until that point I thought it was the actual bands playing because when I listened to the radio the DJ would all ways say, "Up next is....". I assumed they were all at the radio station waiting their turn to play.

I was convinced that He-Man would hold his sword aloft and shout 'I ... AM ... A FLOWER!'

It had to be explained to me that he was saying 'I have the power!' No I don't have a hearing problem.

I knew that people on television or in the movies weren't real, but it seemed entirely reasonable to me that they could interact with each other. When the man who played Mr. Hooper on Sesame Street died back in the early '80s, I was convinced that Darth Vader had killed him. I knew this to be true because his breathing sounded like "Hoooo-per... Hoooo-per..."

I used to believe that black backgrounds on talk shows were endless voids and I used to wonder how peopel weren't scared by them and how they didn't fall into them.

I used to believe…

My Nephew Stephen used to always ask if he could watch on VHS the Movie Prince Of Pizza. This was actually The Prince Of Egypt and when He got older he would get annoyed at us when we kept asking him to repeat it, because he thought we were making fun of him.

I used to believe that people inside the television could see me from the set in my sitting room. One day, someone smiled as they looked at the screen and I thought they were smiling at me.
