I used to believe, thanks to my sister, that mannequins were once real people. She told me they were people that God had punished for being bad and they were 'frozen' forever.

When I was little, my dad told me that fish lived inside of my waterbed. I still remember trying so hard to see through the rubber lining so I could see the fish.

When I was four, my older brother told me that rolled hay bales were alligator houses, and I believed him until I was nine--I realized alligators don't live in Tennessee.

when I was a kid my brother used to tell me that a priest will come out of my wound. The larger the wound is, the larger the stuff that will come out, for ex: a bus or an airplane for bigger wounds. So when I get a wound, I don't really cry because it hurts; I was afraid of the things that will come out of it.

When I was 4 my 14 year old sister would often babysit me. When I misbehaved one time, she said she was going to call the police and they were going to take me to Mexico. I asked her what Mexico was and she said it was a place where bad kids are locked up in cages. This terrified me at first, but after awhile I decided there couldn't really be a place like that so I stopped worrying about being sent there.

Well, when I went to kindergarten there was a map of the world in class. I remember the day the teacher showed us," Here is the United States and here is Mexico." I shouted "Oh no, Mexico is real?" and I became very upset....I went home and told my sister and parents I would never be bad again because I never want to be sent to Mexico!

I convinced my sister when she was about 7 that pressing on a bruise made it heal faster. I told her if it hurts that's how you know it's working. Then I silently laughed while she winced while doing it.

I used to believe that "Yesterday" and "Tomorrow" were actual days of the week, and that they both had a day of the week for which they were a double. I would ask my parents, "what day of the week is tomorrow?" and they would say "Thursday". And I would be outraged, because the last time I asked that question, they had said that Tomorrow was Monday, and now they were changing the story.

When I was about 5 or 6 I went with my Dad to by new tennis shoes. The sales guy brought out a shoe for my Dad to try on that had the little air chambers at the bottom heel, and they almost looked like a neon orange cave. the sales guy told me that little men lived in the bottom of the shoe and when you ran, they stuck their feet through the bottom sole and made you go faster. I totally believed him.

Last year after watching Fried Green Tomatoes my sisters and I told our little brother the same story the girl tells in the movie. We told him that a bunch of ducks came and landed in the lake where we went for vacation, and that it froze in a few seconds. When all the ducks tried to fly away, they took the frozen lake with them! We thought he would call our bluff when we got to the lake and he saw it was still there, but he just got really excited and started yelling that it must have rained enough to fill it back up!!!

When my little brother was younger my two sisters and I told him that he was going to turn into a girl when he grew up. We told him that we used to be boys and we just turned into girls one day. He believed us for the longest time! One day he was talking to our dad and he said "When I'm a girl..." and my dad was like "WHAT" We were in big trouble after that haha.
