Odd beliefs you had as a kid

I believed that toilets could suck me down, I was terrified of automatic flushers.

This thread reminded me of this http://www.somethingawful.com/d/comedy-goldmine/mspaint-your-illogical.php

Hiiiiiilarious

 

i'll agree that it's hard to eat the orange starburst without some type of motivation... not that they're bad, but the others are so much better

 

Holy Shit. When I was at school for lunch the lunch made me homesick for my mom and I didnt want to throw out the plastic baggies or anything either. I felt like I would betray my home or something.

 

I always thought that I'd fall into the ocean the closer I went to the coast. I didn't think it was possible for the ocean to be level with the shore, otherwise, the whole world would be under water.

 

that makes sense in some ways

 

I never realized tsunamis were considered a natural disaster--I thought they happened everyday, so I always stayed as far back from the water as possible whenever we went to the beach. I also hated the noise of the waves.

 

This makes me want to give you a hug. It's one of my favourite sounds in the whole world.

I suppose this isn't too uncommon, but I thought that everything was upsidedown in Australia and when I was a bit older I thought that Margaret Thatcher was a man in drag. Seriously.

 

Haha! Aw, I like the sound of waves now, but when I was a kid they sounded like they were roaring. But I'd still accept a hug!

 

I believed all old people were magic.

 

They are.

*hugs StrawberryFields*

 

When I was a kid I believed that our bodies grew smaller and younger looking as we aged. (So basically I had been around longer than my parents) I didn't understand the concept of parents.....I just thought I was being forced to live with people that talked strangely to me. (I was 2 or 3 when I had these thoughts....I only know that because of where we lived)

Umm I also remember seeing fairies and getting annoyed with people who said they weren't real. haha I was an annoying little shit when I was a kid.

 

I dont remember much from my early childhood, but I believed that women got pregnant by kissing men haha .. and I thought that I could manipulate people with my thoughts.

 

This one I don't remember....but my mom likes to tell the story. I went running in the kitchen horrified telling my mom that daddy has a tail!

Oh and I thought turtles were rats that lived in rocks.

 

i thought the people on tv all lived in hollywood and people filmed their lives. i also didn't like hollywood very much.

 

I used to collect dreams for a while, EXCEPT the bad ones. I also thought my dog gave me the dreams and got mad at him when I had bad ones and wouldn't talk to him for an hour! ...which was a long time for a 6 year old.

I also thought Jesus and were real people and wanted to give them a piece of my mind about all the rude people he created.

 

i believed in god until i was 8 when i finally started to think about it. i realized that i am believing in something and i dont know what it is nor will i ever know what it is that im believing and the fact that nobody knows what there believing in and noone has ever known or will ever know. So i figured what am i believing in? Didnt make sense then and doesnt make sense now.

 

I used to believe that my parents found me in the back of the garden in an egg.

My whole family said it to me though, and were reaaaally serious about it for years. I thought I was a strange orphaned alien

 

I also believed that when I turned 11 I would get a letter from Hogwarts. That one fell through; I found out the hard way Boy, was I sad when I realised it wouldn't come! I just thought the post was late because we lived in the Canary Islands, and post is always late here.

 

One time my dad was piss drunk and told me my mom took me in from a park or something because she felt sorry for me. It kind of stayed with me for a while, but then I was thankful she saved me lol I apparently said thank you to her every day.

I also believed in zombies because I watched a lot of zombie and horror movies when I was young.

I thought my brothers room was evil because at night the shadow on the curtains made a cross, and the pattern where the top was looked like a face.

 

When I was a kid I believed that if I could just cut up my food into small enough pieces, it would disappear and I wouldn't have to eat it...a theory worthy of Einstein..

There were lines painted on the bottom of the public pool with "T" shapes at the ends to mark the lanes...I would imagine they were hammerhead sharks and freak myself out so bad I would have to get out...
