I believed my stuffed animals protected me when I slepted. :ohwell:
I still want to believe this! :flowerforyou:0 -
Monsters DID live under my bed. So, I would turn my light off and run as fast as I could and jump into bed. The I had to be under the covers because if any part was exposed they would get me!!
OH...and my stuffed animals were alive. So I took turns sleeping with each one so none of them would get their feelings hurt. To this day, I have a hard time getting rid of stuffed animals. Like Toy Story is my life!
I did the stuffed animal thing, too! I have a horrible time donating or getting rid of anything that has a face! You would think at 40 I would move on! :blushing:0 -
My dad had my brother, sister and I convinced that when we got new tennis shoes, they made us run faster. We would run around to show him.0

If you accidentally swallowed a seed while eating fruit (apple, watermelon, etc.), it would grow inside your tummy. Have to thank my sister for putting that one in my head. LOL0

That my parents loved each other. :sad: :sad: :sad:
Ohhh...I could cry..:flowerforyou:0 -
our mom told us that she had an eyeball in the back of her head. she'd always bust us smacking each other in the backseat of the car and we were baffled by it ... never did we think that a rearview mirror worked OR that sound travels. when we'd search for the eye in the back of her head, she'd say we couldn't see it because it was asleep ... I won't even get into how long it took us to realize that wasn't true.
there were a lot of crazy things I believed, but that one definitely takes the cake.0 -
When I was a kid I really thought the Ninja Turtles lived in the sewer. I refused to step on sewer drains in the road.
My husband also had a funny one. He thought the little scrubbing bubbles guys actually came out of the can and cleaned the bathroom for you.0 -
P.S. I still have all my stuffed animals because I can't get rid of them either.0

I thought that leather was made out of butterfly wings.0

I didn't read all the posts yet.
I used to think movies were made in one shot and the actors had to memorize the lines for the entire thing. I was amazed!
Oh and eating raw ramen noodles would give you worms...schoolyard lies!0 -
That I could ride my big wheel up the ping tree, I would take off from the patio, of and pedal like crazy through the grass and right up the trunk the wheel would got then I was on my head. I can't tell you how many times I tried to do this.

Those big diagonally cut cucumbers came from massive cucumbers...0

Everytime we'd pass up the chemical plants (gorgeous night lights btw lol), there'd be the open flame fire thingy (I have NO idea what it is) and I'd ask my dad what it was.. the fire and the yummy smell oozing out of the chemical plants made me curious. Anywho, he'd tell me they were baking beans up there. I believed him.0

I didn't understand digestion, so I though food just went into the general chest/stomach cavity and just piled up.
