I thought my mom was very special when she could predict commercial breaks on TV, only later did I realise that she would spot the tiny white square would appear in the top right corner of the screen when a break was due

I used to believe that everytime i put my grease video in the VCR, it sent a message to someone who had to round up the whole cast and they performed the film live! I always wondered how on earth they never got their lines wrong!!

I used to think that every time a song came on the radio, the band was playing it live in the studio. I was confused at how they were always at different stations, in such a short amount of time!

when i was younger i used to think that if i shouted into the speakers the people on screen could hear me, i used to shout at them to do stuff, they never did any of it though!

I used to watch those kiddy shows where they ask you a question pause then say something, when I first went to school I told everyone I was famous but I later found out what really happend when my teacher called home.

When i watched hollow man starring Kevin Bacon, i was TERRIFIED that someone was watching me in the bathroom... i used to wave around a belt and wave my hands alllllll around to make sure there wasnt an invisible person hiding in the corners... i was probably like 10-12...

When I was little I wanted nothing more than to be an actress or a singer. Then I heard a commercial on the radio for Alfred Hitchcock on Nick at Night and it said "where the stars come out to die." So I thought if I became famous I would have to die. After that I wanted to be a cleaning lady...

untill i was in 8th grade, i use to belive that the people in the tv and in pictures could see you. i was so scared of posters and pitcures i refused to put any up in my room , and i turned over magizanes when i got undressed at night.

My mom forced me to watch those Nightmare on Elm Street movies when I was 5 and it scared me to death. Inspired by a sceen in the movie, I was afraid to take a shower/bath for I feared that Freddy would pop out of the shadows and slit my throat.

I used to play a kids' math game on my old computer, and if you won it'd give you an imaginary prize of a banana split. I was convinced the prize would come out of the floppy drive

When my friend was little her and her brothers used to go to the video store to rent a movie and they always wanted to rent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which she hated. She would find a different movie but they would tell her "You have to find one with the movie in it otherwise they don't have it" so she would go down every aisle picking up every case to find one with a movie in it....needless to say they always ended up with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

there's a newscaster called paula zahn...when i was little, i thought she was actually a man named paul azahn. i was quite confused when i finally matched the name to the face and found myself looking at a woman.

Like all other youngsters I loved to sit in front of the tv all day. My sister always said if I watch too much my brain would turn green

I used to believe…

One of my first memories was riding in the car with my father, and seeing a little spider crawl into the tape deck. From that point on, i was convinced that it was the spider singing, talking and playing the music that came out of the radio. (my dad told me i was absolutely correct..boy did i feel stupid years later when i tried to tell somebody, convinced that i was right!)

I used to believe…

when i was smaller i thought that the whole was watching me.i used to avoid all the windows in my house because i thought there were people looking through them all the time, watching me.so i used go around the house by ducking as i went past a window.and sometimes when i was feeling extra paranoid i would hide in my closet.

While watching the opening credits of The A Team (back in the eighties) I asked my Dad if he knew what the 'T' stood for in Mr. T's name. He casually told me it was Thatcher as Mr. T was Margret Thatcher's son. I didn't pick up on that one for nearly twenty years!
