I used to believe…

When my mother was a child, she believed that since she could see the people on TV they could see her too. Accordingly, she would never turn on the television unless she was properly dressed. Until this day, nearly 43 years later my mohter will not watch tv in her pajamas.

I used to believe…

After seeing Mary Poppins, I immediately went home, grabbed an umbrella and began practicing to fly with my umbrella by jumping off the couch and holding my umbrella. I would measure how far I jumped each time and actually believed I would eventually fly.

I used to think that there was a little band inside the stereo speakers playing music.

I used to believe…

When i was a toddler, I used to spend hours in front of the television watching Barney, Sesame Street, and Mr. Rogers. Then my mother would always tell me that my shows were fixing to go off and her shows (soap operas) were fixing to come on. Then she would change the channel to her soaps.

So naturally I just thought that there was only one channel on the television that played my shows for half of the day, and my mom's shows for the rest of the day.

Really it was just my mother not wanting to miss the next episode of her soap operas.

i used to be terrified of the show goosebumps. ( a show that acted out horror stories) so i thought that the freaky characters lived in the t.v and one time i wanted to smash the t.v open so the charcters would come out and i could get my dad to beat them up.

When i was younger i used to believe that poeple on the t.v lived in there. I thought that they would need food like us all, so i made sure that they were well fed by putting my milk bottle and other various foods into the vcr so they would not go hungry.

I had watched the movie signs. I thought an alien would pop out of my closet.I was nine now i am 11.

I still do!!

I had a very vivid and strong imagination as a kid. In my kitchen there used to be a big table with a very long table cloth over it. So me and my brother used to go under it and lean against the wall and watch tv from the tablecloth. I have no idea how I somehow created tv from the tablecloth but we would talk about we were watching too... wierd hell yeh

I am 45. When I was a child I used to believe that a TV show did not start until the TV was turned on, rather than at an exact time. I would get so upset on Saturday nights if I came in and my sister had already turned on "Red Skeleton." I would cry because I thought that she had "let it out" before I got there!

I used to think that everyone understood what trolley from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood was saying (dinging). I would get very upset and frustrated thinking I was the only one who did not understand. I would yell at the TV saying "What are you saying?"

I used to believe that the people on TV were actually inside the TV playing out what I was watching.
One saturday morning, knowing that dad had stayed up late the night before watching, I decided I not to watch cartoons so that the people on TV could sleep in.

I use to think that pictures has spy camera behind it. so I afraide to change clothes in front of pictures.

I used to believe…

A long time ago, newsreaders would be looking at the teleprompter, but every so often, they'd pretend to glance down
and read from a piece of paper. When they did that, it would look to me as if they had closed their eyes. I used to wonder why they were talking little naps during the news!

I used to believe…

When I was a kid in the 60's, we'd watch the Ed Sullivan Show. I remember being really confused because in the beginning, they'd say "Life from New York...The Ed Sullivan Show." Then at the end they'd say, "This show has been pre-recorded." When I pointed it out to my dad, he roared with laughter.

I used to believe…

It was my first time going out to a see movie . (Back when Disney's Pinnochio was "in") For some reason, I thought there were ghosts inside the theatre

I used to think, when I saw pictures Alfred Hitchcock, that he was Freud. I have no idea how I knew who Freud was or where I saw pictures of Alfred Hitchcock at age 7, but there you have it!
