    I used to believe that unicorns were real, but they lived in the clouds so we never saw them. I was very proud of myself for figuring that out when all the grown ups in the world still hadn't. lol I don't know where I got that idea. I also thought if I sorted my Lite-Bright pegs by color a unicorn could come down and talk to me if it wanted to. They never did. :cry:

    My sister convinced me that we had to hold our breath when driving near a cemetery, or the evil spirits would go inside of us. I seriously believed in this till I was a teenager, and hated going some places because I had to hold my breath for a really long time.

    My childrens father told me that Jack rabbits existed and I believed him up until a few years ago when we were talking about said jack rabbits. He burst out laughing after he saw the very confused look on my face and said "Ddn't I tell you that I was joking with you?" For 10 years I believed the darn things were real!

    What kind of jack rabbits was he talking about? Jackrabbits are real.

    When I was a kid, I thought the handicapped parking spots were for people who were in a rush to go to the bathroom. Thought it was a guy on the toilet. True story.

    My older cousin told me that men and women touch nipples and a "period" passes from the man to the woman through their nipple. The period then moves into the woman's stomach and grows into a baby.

    That blind people could see if they wore glasses.
    I think I took the "I'm blind without my glasses" thing a little to seriously.
    I think I was about 12 when I figured out this was not the case.

    That you could place an order with the weatherman and he could take care of it for you. I was convinced my Grandparents ordered snow for Christmas each year. Why else would they get it and we didn't? The news reports were just the weathermen letting us all know what they were up to. If you asked nicely or paid enough, they could change it for you.

    It probably didn't help that I was a gullible child and my family played along. Heck my folks were the type to leave half chewed carrots around the yard for Easter and for Christmas they got soot on the cookie plate and crumbs in the fireplace. :flowerforyou:

    haahahahha i love this!!!

    Yes, can i get an order of nice and sunny, with a side of cool evening?

    ....did you figure this out before you had to explain to some girl why you couldn't touch nipples? lol

    That I was awesome, but then it turned out I was really Legendary...outside of that... our music teacher once told us you could hide your gum behind your ear (bare in mind this is the 80's) and it would get stuck in your hair. So me and everyone else in our class stashed our gum behind our ear... yeah really funny teach REAL funny! Next day 12 new hair cuts were in class.

    When I was little, if I didn't get a joke and they would say 'it's over your head', I used to think what they were joking about was over my head.

    But after a couple of laughing sessions at my expense, I realized what it was :)
