I thought that the tin man from the Wizard of Oz lived in the lamposts on my street, and that if I walked near it he would jump out and grab me!

When I was little I thought there were little men in the street lights that sat there all day and when night came they turned the light on.

When I was about five, my daddy told me that when I was a baby, we went to the ocean for vacation and a shark was chasing me around the water. He said that he then jumped in the ocean, onto the shark's back, and beat him up. Then the shark starts whimpering and goes down a waterfall. When he told me it wasn't true, I cried about it for a long time.

I used to think that miniture men ran around people's yard all day. There house was a water tower. I had a name for them but can't remember it. My friend and I used to go hunt them with plastic knives.

I used to believe…

anytime i would go swimming, lake, pool or anywhere, i thot there were sharks and crocodiles
and thats silly cuz in lakes and especially pools (in ontario) there wouldnt possibly be sharks or any deadly animals
but i would always watch where i was going, and my brother used to always scare me and pretend to be a shark or crocodile in our pool, and i actually cried for fear that he was one!

I used to think everytime my mom took my to the supermarket, she was willing to trade me for another son and I kept asking myself who would be my new parents, how much I would cost and stuff

I went on a camping trip with the Girl Scouts and we are in Germany so there are wild boars. And someone told my that they come at night and eat people. That night i was afraid to go to sleep the 3 days i was there.

When I was a kid, my, my mom and dad went to this bar called the Island. One day my dad told me that he was going to go to the "Island" tonight. I got in my bathing suit. I packed a towel, things to make a sandcastle, and clothes. I thought we were going on a trip to Hawaii!!

i thought that if water towers fell the city would flood. So everynight i would stay up worrying.

My sister used to think that the black and coloured spots of old gum on the side walk were people who had been smushed into the cement.

When i was younger i thought that when you go to the grocery store, you couldn't go down an isle that somebody was already in. I thought this because whenever my mom and i went shopping, we would start walking down an isle and then we would turn around right away and go to the next isle. (we turned around because the item she wanted wasn't down that isle) I realized that you could go down an isle that somebody was in when i was about 9 or 10.

My mom told my little brother that we were going to the antique shop(he is only 6) and he looked confused but said ok anyway. when we got the he ran up to the lady and hugged her and yelled imso happy to see you Aunt Tik. We died laughing and had to explain it to him

i asked my step dad why i never see icecream trucks in cali and he said there iligel

I always belived that when someones house was toilet papered it ment that the person living there was getting married.

i used to believe that a carpool wasa car with a pool inside. Everyday i would tell my dad,"when i grow up im going to buy a carpool"

I used to believe that a car auto body shop was a place where they sold body parts (ex. arms, legs, torsos). I had a fear of going into them!
