    That mirrors were gateways to other worlds populated by evil demonic creatures who wanted to pull me in. I refused to ever be around large mirrors.

    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!

    Jackrabbits do exist ... http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/jackrabbit/

    Unless he was talking about magical ones or sumthin ...

    He may have been talking about Jackalopes....I grew up in South Dakota and they're a popular legend....part jackrabbit part antelope. :smile:

    When I was REALLY young I used to think the world used to be black & white, because all old pictures were in black & white.

    Shutup I was a kid!!

    That's too cute. :)

    I love all of these hahaha


    When I was little, my uncle taught me and my cousins that saskatoon berries were called "poozonkies"... we called them that for years. Same uncle taught us that the big balls on tall power lines were "airplane eggs," and if we saw a broken one (which happened a few times), we got excited and thought we'd be able to see a baby airplane. Sheesh.

    My mom used to convince me on my birthday I would turn into a boy, so every year (up until I was like 7) I would be terrified for my birthday because I wanted to stay girl. :grumble: Pretty mean of her!

    I was also convinced you could get pregnant from drinking out of the water fountain after a boy... Real pathetic.

    I had a skeleton under my bed. If I got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I'd take a huge jump out of the bed and a running leap back so he couldn't grab my ankle.

    I had an Uncle who lost a thumb in a farming accident. He had all us kids believing he lost it because he was a thumb sucker when he was little and he sucked it off.

    I would hear noises from my pillow at night when I slept on my side. I thought it was bugs crawling in my pillow, until I was in my teens and realized it was my heartbeat... :blushing:

    I remember this! I thought Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street lived in my pillow!
