Stuff you believed as a small child

[Floriferous]

So, we all have goofy things that we believed when we were little right? (Santa, Easter Bunny, etc. don't count xD)What are some of the things that you all believed. Here are a couple of mine:

Keep in mind, this was from when I was like 4 or 5 xD
1. People had babies by kissing in bed in their underwear.

2. Grease was apple juice. My dad always pour it in a cup or something and it looked like apple juice to me. I wouldn't believe my parents when they would tell me it was grease and once I asked if I could drink it.

[ChaosControl]

1. Santa Claus
2. The Tooth Fairy
3. Babies are made by doctors
4. I could get to Narnia by sitting in my wardrobe and wishing really really hard. *

* I wasn't a freak... honest...

[Troubled_Heart]

Mine's bad...

I used to believe my cat went to the shops with a purse around its neck to buy my birthday and xmas presents and that he wrapped them up with the help of my mum...

I also believed that my toys came alive when I wasn't there like in toy story and I used to try and sneek up and catch them

I miss the good ol' days when anything could be true..

[Anthropomorphic]

I believed my toys came to life after watching Toy Story. And at nineteen, my belongings aren't always where I left them, so I still have suspicions about it. :P

I believed in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy. A lot of my childhood died when they turned out to be not real.

For the first seven or eight years of my life I didn't know if my parents ever slept, because they always went to bed after I did and woke me up each morning. And I was a pretty calm child so I never went to their room to wake them up for something.

[LostTeen011]

1.) Santa Clause, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, Dracula.
2.) Women gave birth to babies out their butt.
3.) Every cartoon WAS REAL.
4.) If I drew pictures of Digimon, in the morning they would be real.
5.) I could hatch the eggs out of my fridge if I sat on them.

[Pelios]

I believed in Santa in a real hardcore way, if anyone dared to say he was not true I would defend him with my life
Another thing I believed was that when I changed channel in the TV there were little people inside it and everything was live inside my TV.
I also believed that someday there was going to rain candy, I never lost hope every time it rained I thought “today was the day” but no…
I thought people had to get married every time they had a new child I thought my parents had married 3 times.
I also believed that the black hole in the middle of the swimming pools would suck you inside, I remember being really afraid of it and my older cousins would try to make me go towards it by pushing me. =/

I used to believe a lot of weird things when I was little, I can't imagine the faces of my parents when I would tell them...

[Concrete Angel]

I believed:

1) Santa Claus was real
2) What happened in movies were real (a cartoon or otherwise)
3) And yes, I totally believed that there were little people inside the TV!
4) Apple juice was champagne
5) Vampires were real
6) Magic could happen if you said "Abracadabra"
7) In Wee Willie Winkie...so I never was awake past 8 0' clock!

[JustDanielle]

I thought my toys came to life at night :P

[Gymnophoria]

-I thought my toys came to life as well. My mum told me they did.
-I believed in Santa, Easter Bunny, Toothfairy too and wrote a letter to the toothfairy once. Still waiting on a reply.
-I totally believed in Hogwarts and wrote myself an acceptance letter hoping my parents would let me go.
-I used to lay in bed at night and be able to see the top of the landing. I was scared that a Pharoh or Mummy was going to come up the stairs to get me and as long as only my head was sticking out of the covers, they'd believe I had no body and leave me alone. (we were learning about Egypt in school at this point)
-I thought that people on the TV could see me and hear me.

There are so many more bizarre things I believed in that I'm not even going to bother putting down here, they were mad! xD

[The Morrigan]

- I believed in Santa
- You know those inset days at school that were teacher training days? Well I thought they were really called insect days and you had to bring a bug into school
- I believed my toys came to life
- I waited on my 11th birthday for my Hogwarts letter, must have got lost in the post though

Not sure what else really xD

[Kate*]

1. that there were monsters in my closet (my cousin's fault)
2. That money was free from the ATM (a long story that my dad still won't let me forget)
3. There was a (nice) mouse under my grandma's kitchen table that would eat my food if I didn't clean my plate

[Rainbow Dash]

I thought babies automatically appeared when a man and woman got married.

I thought some people were stuck with their hair in a ponytail, lmao. This girl who was friends to my sister always had her hair in a ponytail and when she took it out I was amazed.

I never really believed in Santa.

[jenpiglet17]

-I knew every meat came from an animal at this point, so my family told me about the salami monster that lives in africa, and special breeds are only found in North America and how hard they are to catch.
-I would think that there were monsters under my bed, so I can't stick a foot hanging off the bed, and then more monsters came (they looked like the ones from Where the Wild Things Are) and they came in only when my eyes were shut. O_o
-Tooth fairy, Santa, Easter Bunny

[Reverie.]

I believed that babies came from the sky and they used to be stars...
Santa & the toothfairy obviously...
I thought babies were born by cutting into the stomach only, and that they were grown in the stomach...
I thought teachers lived at school and had no other life...
I thought all mums and dads were called the same as my mum and dad...
I believed that the dummy fairy came to take my dummy away when I was four so that she could give it to a family of birds for the babies to have...

[Illuminate]

The Easter Bunny
Santa Claus
The Tooth Fairy
Babies came from ladies bums ( )
Magic
Fairytales

[JustListen]

I once tried to write a letter to the Tooth Fairy but after a week she didn't answer, and when I realised why I announced it (loudly) to my mum - "She won't answer cos I wrote it in English!!" (we lived in France). That was when my mum found out I'd written to the TF and had to write a reply letter back (in french)

Me too! lol

Except it was vampires for me. I though as long as the blanket was up to my neck they wouldn't bother trying to suck my blood

[JKmadu619]

I remember being four, learning the difference between a man and a woman, and thinking girls couldn't pee for two years.

- Justin

[xxpaigiexx]

-Santa, the tooth fairy, the easter bunny
-I believed that the 'stalk' left babies on parents door steps
-I thought my nan never had a shower or bath because she never seemed to have one (I was obviously asleep).
-I believed in that story about bloody mary (if you say her name in the mirror 3 times she'll come out of the mirror and kill you) and avoided mirrors for god knows how long lol.

[EndureEmo]

i used to think apple juice was bottled pee ;s
and i belived that kids were brought from a shop just like toyss ;PP
tv shows were all reall!! ;s
loud music brain washed you .. haa
if i didnt have a bath everyday i would turn a bright colour ,, it never happened except turnning pink with embarrismentt
....

[Boobies]

I used to think there were dinosaurs under my bed, apparently I had to get my dad to check every night O.o
I also used to think that cats and dogs were the same species, but cats were the girls and dogs were the boys O.o

[Acheron]

When I was little (five or so?) I had to go to the doctor's for some reason. Anyway, when it was my turn, I was called out of the waiting room and taken to the doctor's office. On the way there, we passed a little row of washing machines, the kind with a glass door in the front. Anyway, little me didn't realise at the time that they were washing machines. I thought they were for keeping really sick people in, and didn't realise my mistake for a couple of years.

[xx little miss clumsy xx]

-that only married woman could get pregnant (hence i was very confused when my unmarried cousin got pregnant, when i was 11 )

-that after you finish school, you went right back to the beginning and started it all over again.

-that "auntie" and "uncle" was just part of a persons name...i thought they were just my parents friends.

And the tooth fairy and Santa obviously.

[JKmadu619]

I didn't realize my grandparents were related to us until I was six. I always thought they were some kind of random old people who came 'round ever so often to check on us. Like fairy god parents I guess...

- Justin

[Gaia]

I never really believed in more than santa clause and the tooth fairy.
I do remember my uncle telling me that my slippers, which looked likes bees, would sting me if I wore them. Safe to say they never went on my feet
I'm positive that there will be something worse than that, seeing as my Dad thought it would be hilarious if he told my sister a Giraffe was a Kangaroo, and vice versa. So I assume he did something similar to me, and I haven't figured it out yet xD

[BlackAngel]

1. I believed Barney was real and was always going to tell me to make a wish, and it would always come true.
2. I believed my mom gave birth to me out of her belly button lol.
3. I believed that when i was little cause i got took to a church where people talked in tongues and stuff, that the devil lived there and i was scared to go back and told my mommy that the devil was talking to me through the people screaming!!!!!!

[Fictional]

I beleived in Santa and in faries, and I believed for quite a while that an araf was a small endangered animal... turns out it's welsh for "slow" xD

[Littlebylittle]

1. Santa
2. That my toys came to life and that they had feelings ( i beleive that still now to some extent! )
3. I also beleive that money from an ATM was free ;D

[Kate*]

I'm glad I'm not the only one, my dad still tells that story Ugh. I was temporarily confused about hunger and homelessness since I thought the money was free. Now that I'm older I understand the sad situations

[emma01]

LOL I have a good one, there were these pens, their brand name was "Texta" and they were advertised to 'bring your pictures alive' and like these girls were drawing a dog, the dog jumped out of the picture...I honestly believed that this would happen, and I got my own set of these "Texta" pens, and to my horror, they did not produce real dogs. So I was lead to believe my drawings weren't good enough. I must have only been about 6!!!

I believed that cartoons were actually 'real' things, and that if I went to america I would see them. I also at one stage considered being able to jump into pictures - or skadoo into pictures (as in Blue's Clues) I obviously didn't try but I did think some people had the power to!

[Soliloquy]

Mine is weird...

When I was very young and nursing, my mom always called breasts "titty-boom-bahs" in front of me. Don't ask me why. But for a while I thought that was actually the proper name for them.

[Atlantis]

Lets start with the basics!
Chicken nuggets were chicken!
Chinese people ate chinese food everyday!
I was invincible!
I had magic powers and could change the past!
Fate!
True love disney style!
Dragons could still exist but maybe hiding somewhere!
Aliens exist and could be people!
That just before we went to sleep we'd experience a magicial dream world instead of sleep and then forget every morning!
The moon was this awesome place!
World peace!
Best friends would last forever!
Parents never lied to me!
If your good, good things happen to you. If your bad, bad things happen.
Bad people goto court everything was black and white.
Also if i couldnt think of all the ways that i could be killed during the night the one that i missed was more likely to kill me.

PLUTO was a PLANET!

I was up past eight once and the door knocked... so I hid behind the kitchen door so Wee Willie Winkle wouldn't know. Yes, I thought it was him at the door...

Also,
1. My toys came alive.
2. If you ate lots of a certain thing, you become it.
3. If you pull a face and the wind changes, you get stuck like it.

I had to leg it up the stairs because I was convinced a ghost would follow me up :/
If you listened closely, the sofa could talk... (not my dad in another room)
When you ordered chinese food, it was delivered from China.

Oh, and one time I was at a cinema and saw a sillohette before the movie started and all the ads were playing (obvs from someone walking in front of the projecter).
However I asked my dad,
"Is that Mulan behind the screen, getting ready?"

The moon was made of cheese.
Uneaten eggs in the fridge would hatch.

My Granny once said "It's raining cats and dogs" so I looked through the window and said "But I can't see them"

Hogwarts I thought my parents were magic (because we had a fake broom from halloween and believed this to be real) and would get a letter on my 11th birthday.
Obvs, i'm a squib

In Austrailia and NZ, you were upside down and had to wear sticky boots so you wouldn't fall off.

Mirrors were opposite land, and you could step inside them,

Unplugging the bath while still in it means you'llget sucked down the drain.
One time, I thought my sister HAD been because I couldn't find her after her bath!

Sorry for all the edits, I kept thinking of more and more.

[Atlantis]

Also

If you ate watermelon seeds they'd grow inside you.
Slugs were snails without a shell.
Fat people were just natually large with big bones! (Yet i wondered why all the skeletons were the same size)

It was possible that some thing lived underground in some ancient culture like in journey to the centre of the earth!
Time travel was impossible
The earth would hit something because it moved soo fast.
The world was huge and very few people could have gone around it.
China/Taiwan was some big factory!
We'd have flying cars by 2010!
