Pretty sure it was believing that a fat man was going to come down our chimney and deliver gifts once a year. Or was it the one about the little winged fairly lady with a tooth fetish? Or was it the one about some magical rabbit leaving baskets of goodies in the living room and laying colored eggs all over the lawn?
I can't believe I actually believed any of it. It's a wonder I wasn't an atheist by the age of 11, given that the source for these crazy delusions were also the source of my religious training.0 -
1. That I was dropped from the space Needle into my mothers stomach
2. My real mother was either Princess Di or Oprah, and they would show up in limo any day
sadly., none of this is a joke.0 -
I believed absolutely everything I was told. I guess the craziest thing I believed was that no one had reasons to lie. ever.0

I thought because my name was Angel, that I could fly but just hadn't figured out how. I jumped off EVERYTHING in and around our home. I do not know how I never got hurt. I tried standing up in the swing while swinging real high and jumping out of the swing. I tried over and over untilI I did a belly flop and ate dirt. I was 32. I gave up.

Well...... I used to watch Sally Fields in "The Flying Nun" Show on TV..... So she said.... Haaa ... She weighed 90-something lbs, & had her Nun Hat.... So I weighed about 90-something pounds at the time... and I made myself a Hat that looked like hers, and waited for the wind to be just right.... So I had the wind, the home-made Nun Hat, I weighed 90-something, and I jumped off the brick in front of our house... Did I fly? Nooooooooo. But I thought I could, if everything was just like her... How dissapointing... :ohwell:0

I was told that pregnancy occurred when husbands and wives "slept together." So, I though the marriage ceremony was a magic spell that allowed the couple to make babies by sleeping side by side.0

My mum told me that humans could fly so I'd spend hours jumping off the edge of the sofa flapping my arms like a retard in hopes that one day I would sore off into the sky... or ceiling.0

Lots of salt would cool my food down faster than blowing on it--this is something that all of my siblings and I thought was true O_o
No idea why or even where this idea came from???0 -
my mom and dad told us that Famous Amos cookies contained alcohol and were therefore only known as "adult" cookies.... apparently this was a tactic they used to keep us from eating "their" cookies. It worked, too. And, oddly enough, I believed it up until I was an adult. Yea, wow...
When my kids were little and I wanted to enjoy a rum and Diet Coke without them pestering for sips, I would put it in a coffee cup and tell them it was "fire water" and very hot.:laugh:0 -
I used to think my dad's car was really clever because, wherever we wanted to go, it would take us there without us even telling it.0

I thought you could get pregnant from taking a bath, I would always hear people say "it's in the water" so I just assumed that water could make you pregnant, I also figured I wouldn't know until a baby actually popped out, so everytime my tummy hurt, I was sure I was about to have a baby, lol0

My third grade teacher told me that if I chewed my nails, it would cause worms to grow in my stomach. To this day, I can't bite my nails..
If you bite your nails, worms CAN grow in ur stomach, pinworms lay eggs in the dirt, and if u have dirt under ur nails, there is a chance u can swallow the eggs and worms will live in ur colon. It happens0 -
chocolate milk came from brown cows...0

I believed all women could have a baby if they wanted one hard enough, and that the doctor had to cut a slit by your hip to pull it out... hahaha.0

I overheard part of an adult conversation and drew a faulty conclusion, which I believed for several years when I was really small:

I believed my stuffed animals protected me when I slepted. :ohwell:
AWWWWWWWWWW... so did I! Actually I still think they do...0 -
As a very young girl my father used to tell me to eat my food and it would make me grow hair on my chest. Being little and wanting to be like him...it made me eat my food 0

I swallowed a watermelon seed once and swore one was growing inside my stomach because every time I ate my belly got soooo big. I thought the food I ate was feeding the seed...And my mother did try to tell me any different. :noway: :noway:0
