    I thought there was a guy living under my bed with freakishly long arms and legs named "Wacky", and if one of my limbs dangled over the edge he would grab me take me to who knows where.

    Needless to say, I wet the bed until I was seven...

    When my kids were little they thought that since moths would eat clothes, they could end up naked on the sidewalk if a moth ever landed on them.

    That if you touched the leaves of an african violet plant they would die. My mom had several and I liked to touch them since they were fuzzy and soft so she told me that to stop me. Sadly I'll admit I didn't realize it wasn't true until I was much older:blushing:

    My brother thought that if he jumped out the window with a blanket he could use it as a prachute....he broke his arm.

    I believed that my Grandmother could see through brick walls. Let me explain. I once found a knife in the parking lot behind out house and was going to hide it from my parents who did not approve. Think was around 6 or 7 at the time. My grandmother was visiting and told me straight up: Give me the knife. Funny thing was their are no windows or doors through which see could have seen the parking lot. So I believed that somehow, grandmothers have x-ray vision. I know better now:)

    or DO you:huh:

    I thought all people had one TV for the picture and another for the sound. I had a BIG fight with my friend when she said they only had one TV:angry:

    I thought that I could make orange juice from shredded up yellow dandelions.

    I have a million of these, by the way. My parents probably should have taken me to a psychiatrist...

    ...that i could chop squares of frozen snow and sell them to the neighborhood Mom's to keep in the freezer and give to their kids in the summer. (an entrepreneurial venture a friend and i had).

    (my older sister) thought 'Omit Oil' meant a special kind of oil to put into the low-fat version of the cake mix.

    (my younger sister) thought that she did not have to go back to school after the first day of Grade 1 because "All I am going to be is a Mommy" when she grew up.

    As for bedtime nightmares, the cartoons where Sylvester etc would get into bed, put their feet under the blankets and someone else's feet would come out the bottom would terrify me! I was always afraid that someone would be in my bed and it would happen to me!

    that the crazy wallpaper in my friend's bedroom came to life at night- lots of little gnomes climbed around on her wall at night (and there weren't even pictures on the wall paper, just some weird pattern)

    that Cybertron was a real planet.

    that was possible to create anthropomorphic turtles, and one day I'll "discover" the special chemical, create anthropomorphic turtles and go live with them in the sewers and fight crime, lol. :ohwell:
