When I was little my mom and her neighbor used to go repelling off cliffs. Me, my brother, and the neighbors kids all stayed at the top of the cliff (I was the youngest, around 4 or 5 so I was tied to a tree with a harness and a leash)
One time, one of the neighbors untied me and sprinkled dirt in my hair and told me it was fairy dust from tinkerbell and that I could now fly. Luckily my mom was standing between me and the edge of the cliff and caught me when I tried to run off it.

The first couple times I came to this website i thought that there was someone named Anon who sent in a TON of beliefs and I really liked Anon becaouse his beliefs were usually really funny. It wasnt until i sent in a belief that i realized than Anon was just short for Anonymous.

my friends older than me who had a pond in there back garden said that when they step into it it turns to chocolate world or anything they wanted and i believed it for years.

After a trip to the circus, I formed the notion that clowns were another ethnic group. The circus had Mommy and Daddy clowns with their clown "children" (little people), didn't they?

I used to believe that shoes grew along with you, so as you got bigger your shoes would too. I also thought the same thing about clothes. I remember crying for hours and hours one time because my shoes didn't fit and I though I had broken them or stopped them from growing somehow.

Adding to the thing about Anon being anonymous, I used to believe that Anon was a real person telling lies. One time Anon says she's a girl and then a boy in a different belief. Also how would she have two different beliefs for one topic. It's all clear to me now.

My sister used to beieve that when you become a "grown up" you change your name to an adult name. This was because adult names were like Helen or Richard and kid names were like Daniel and Nicole.

When I was little my mum used to tell me that my eyes would turn green when I lied so I would stand in front of the mirror and say things like, "I am 100 years old" or "I am a boy".

My mum said it only worked for proper lies like, "It wasn't me" and "I didn't do it" and only mothers had the power to see this transformation

My friends parents used to tell her, when there was a teacher strike, instead of explaining what it was, they used to tell her that she was sick. They also used to tell her that when the ice-cream truck was playing its song, it meant that they were out of ice-cream

Once me and my friends were friends with this really unpopular kid who was seen as 'uncool'. So we decided to amuse ourselves as well as trying to help him out by making a potion that would make him as cool as we were. We got a bowl and put in milk, marshmallows, orange juice and soy sauce- the special ingredient. Then we convinced the poor kid that if he drunk the potion, it would make him 'cooler'. Luckily it didn't poison him, just left a bad taste in his mouth. After he drunk it he asked "am I cool now?" of course he wasn't any different.

We're still the best of friends today and ironically he is very popular in high school.

One Halloween when I was about 3, I was really afraid of all the trick or treaters comming to our door. My mom thought she could make everything better for me by explaining to me that all the monsters were just coming to get candy. I was terrified and ran to hid under my bed. It took her a little while to figure out I was so scared because my name is Candy and she had told me they were coming to get "candy".

When I was five, I really admired my six-year-old cousin and believed everything she said. One day she had received a toy doctor's set, with a stethescope, nurse's hat, tongue depressors, bandages and a plastic pair of scissors. When I asked what they were for, she told me they were used to cut off patient's fingers if they weren't able to fix them. For years I refused to even pick them up in case I accidentally lopped off a finger.

My Grandfather told me that when he was small he had been brought up in a childrens home (this is true) and that children were given porridge every morning for breakfast (also probably true). He said the porrige was made in an enormous pot over an open fire and was stirred by a small child standing on a plank suspended over the pot. One day this little boy fell into the porridge and the kids at the back of the queue had to scrape the porridge off his body so they could have some breakfast (my Grandfather being one of them, of course). I believed this well into adulthood, and even repeated the tale to friends and work colleagues. It was only when someone had the guts to laugh at the story that I realised my Grandfather had embroidered the truth somewhat.

I guess from hearing too many dumb-blonde jokes, when I was growing up I really truly thought that blonde people were dumber than people with other hair colors. Like God had made it that way so you could tell if a person was dumb or smart. (Boy, was I glad I had brown hair!)

i remember when i was little. about 4-6 my cousins were really mean to me. they would always tell me that they would have to chop off my toes. i would cry and tell them i did want to. then they told me they would call my dad and ask him. it was really my other cousin on the phone. he would act as my da and say son you must chop of yuour toes. and ever scinec then they would scare me and i would never wear snadles.
