Funny things you believed as a kid :)

...that if you unscrewed your belly button...your butt would fall off..

I was convinced that hemorrhoids were something that made your wrists hurt. All the commercials would have people talking about hemorrhoids and rubbing their wrists.

I used to believe that if you peed in a pool it would leave a red stream behind you. I also thought that my parents had surveillance cameras in my house and that they knew everything that I was doing, at all times and I also didn't understand the big deal when I would hear the term "sleeping together", like if I was watching a TV show or something and they said that...I totally thought that they were simply in the same bed sleeping...had no idea that they were doing something else :smokin:

And for the record...NO, I didn't, nor do I pee in a pool

That the Booger monster would eat my fingers if I put them up my nose (actually had a neighbor who had 4/5 stubs on his right hand and he told me that's how it happened)

I thought that Jaws could become a (SNL) land shark and come find me in the tub or while sitting on the toilet.

Also, I used to think clowns were clowns; not some humans with make-up...I was fascinated with all the horror clown movies, too, so I stayed away from sewage drains (IT) and didn't get too close to clowns in person, for fear that they'd turn into a T-rex and eat me.

That you got pregnant from god, and no body can choose when you get pregannt... XD

That if you swallowed enough watermelon seeds one would grow in your belly!

^^^This^^^ and my grandmother would swallow them on purpose and tell me let's see how long it takes before the vines come out of my ears :laugh:

I thought that we all died when we reached a certain age. So when friend teased me about being a few months older, I replied that that meant he would die sooner than me. Shut him up.

I have 3 distinct beliefs from age 4:

- The devil actually lived under ground.
- I'd hide under the eaves of our house flattening myself against the house because the airplanes I saw were all bombers and would bomb me if I was seen. (around 1961)
- that if calla lilies touched my clothes they would "eat" them. Quite some time later I learned I misunderstood my mother who told me they would STAIN my clothes.

I always thought there was something under my bed, just waiting to grab my ankle as soon as I stepped down. So, for the first 10ish years I could walk I would jump off my bed at least three feet because I was sure whatever it was couldn't reach me that far. Would also jump ONTO the bed from three feet away. Hit the wall a few times lol.

I used to do that also!

I was this way too, but it was because my brother tormented me and would sometimes hide under my bed and actually grab my ankles when I would go to bed.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ditto. And I still do this from time to time...

I wonder if this is why there is so much junk under my bed that no monster could get under there? lol
