I used to believe that every poster on my wall was watching me, so i hid from them when i changed and was terrified that they'd tell people about me! I also thought that cameras were hidden everywhere, watching my every move. I still check for cameras whenever i have a bath or get changed!!!!

I used to believe…

Right after I watched Jaws for the first time, I ate dinner with my family in our backyard. However, I had still not recovered from the movie.
Throughout the dinner, I was completely convinced that Jaws was going to come around the side of our house and devour me. We lived in St. Louis.

I used to believe that there was a town named "Woodbie" because of watching the news and hearing about the "woodbie burglar," "woodbie car thief." Took me a few years to figure out it was "would be" - I was relieved, because I thought that Woodbie place had a lot of crime!

I was watching Cheaper by the Dozen with my seven year-old niece last year. At the end before the credits, they have some bloopers. One of them is of the actor who plays the oldest son snogging the actress who plays the mother.

My niece was horrified, and no matter how many times we tried to explain to her that they were actors and not really mother and son, she just couldn't believe that "She would FRENCH her own son!!"

i used to believe the people in the tv were tiny and real, and i didn't understand how anyone could watch the same show at the same time on a different tv.

i also used to think that the radio had to play the same songs at the same time, and that i just couldn't figure out the pattern of them (daily, weekly, etc.)

I believed there was a hidden camera in my teddy bear and that my kindergarten classmate who moved to Alaska could see me through it.

When I was 9 years-old in 1997, my friends and I were obsessed with the Spice Girls and their movie SpiceWorld. In reality the movie is totally fictional, but for some reason we thought it was a real non-fiction documentary.
We also used to think that Sporty Spice and Posh Spice were the same person (I guess we never questioned how they could be in the same scene together if they were the same person) ha ha

I used to believe…

As the daughter of someone who obsessively taped television specials, I and my sister used to believe that all that needed to be done to create a videotape would be to attach a label and write the name of the video on it.

We were confused why writing "Cinderella" on a blank tape resulted in mere static.

I used to think all television shows were made at the tv station on the hill of my home town.

When I was a kid, I used to read through the TV guide and newspaper looking to see what would be on. I always wanted to see what show "To Be Announced" was, but something else was always on instead...

I used to believe…

when i was a toddler, i saw ernest scared stupid and ernest was outside someone's door. they had a peephole and the camera was on the other side of the door looking outside. well to my surprise, ernest got REALLY close to the peephole, looked in it and it scared the hell outta me. i started crying. and everytime i would go to sleep, i would think that he is looking through my window.

I used to belive Ellen DiGenerous and Martha Stewart were the same person!

I also though Ellem DiGenerous was Ellen THE generous, because she gave gifts and so was "gererous"

I used to believe…

The first time I saw the movie Spiderman, I was about 3 or 4. When he got bit by the spider I wouldn't eat or drick anything because I thought there was a spider in it.

I used to believe…

When I was about 5 or 6, I saw a cartoon where the character used an umbrella as a parachute. My older brother said that it was true because it was on tv. He talked me into jumping off my grandma's bird aviary with the umbrella. I wrecked the umbrella and strained my ankle. My brother told me not to tell because I would get in trouble for hurting the umbrella.

I used to believe that chucky the evil doll lived in the woods across the street from one of my old schools,and that an evil candy man and his family lived under that school

I used to believe…

When I was a little girl I was completely in love with Superman (and still I am...). My parents explained me that it was just "fiction" and that nobody can�t fly. Then, when I was watching the movies and seeing him flying I believed that Christopher Reeve had a string tied at his waist (to avoid his fall down...) and everytime I saw those scenes where Superman goes to the outside space I always thought "wow... what a looooong string" :) (I was so cute)
