What Was Some Weird Stuff You Believed in As a Child?

[Farore's Chosen]

When I was a kid I had a big imagination and I was a huge dinosaur lover. One time when we went to Knotts I went on the dinosaur ride and got to pick a souvenir and I chose an egg that said it had a dinosaur inside. I got all excited thinking it was real so I made a "nest" out a strawberry container and easter grass and put it under a lamp to hatch. Imagine my dismay when the stupid thing began melting and I realized it was a chocolate egg with a gummy dino in it. That's pretty bad.

I always believed in the tooth fairy when I was younger, so when I got my tooth pulled out on some dentist appointments, I got excited and when I got home I placed my tooth under my pillow. When I found that the tooth didn't change into money, I said to my sister that the tooth fairy wasn't ready yet because she laughed at me on how silly I was. So as the years go by, I kept believing in her until I gave up trying to place my tooth under my pillow because she never comes to me.

I don't think I had any major beliefs as a child, (aside from standard stuff like Santa and whatnot- but I figured that out), But, SOMEHOW, I managed to convince myself for about two weeks, that there was a poo-monster in the back bathroom. (master bedroom bathroom) I don't know WHY, or how, but I think my over-active imagination kicked in and I sat down and thought "what if there was a poo monster, that wanted to eat my butt, living in this toilet?" and I started getting paranoid. But after about a week or two, I realized how ridiculous it was, and tossed the thought out of my head. xD

Mind you, I was very young.

That I could be anything I wanted to be. Ha.


But in all seriousness, my brothers used to tell me that I was adopted, and my real parents were the Frog Faces that lived in the sewers. That was meeeeean! I believed it at one time.

I had believed that the digestive system had two entrances. One for liquid, and one for solids. I thought that if you could get liquid in the solid entrance and solid in the liquid entrance. I also believed that it would kill you. I was terrified of Ice, and icecream.

Like many kids I believed in fantasies like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, God, etc. Like Isaac above, I also used to think that liquids and solids traveled down two different "pipes", haha.

I also thought that my toys came to life when I wasn't in my room (thanks Toy Story).

I still think that all my food has a party everytime I close the fridge door!

I used to think that my teachers lived at school...

I used to believe Chuck E. Cheese was a live human sized rat untill I walked up to the stage where the mechanical band played and touched his foot thinking he'd look at me and say something to me.

When I was little, I thought "pregnant" was a cuss word, trees wanted to eat me (especially during car rides after dark), and a shadow made by one of the dining room curtains was a monster. Surprisingly, I never believed in a single fairy-tale. Strange.

One weird thing that I always thought as a child was that somehow I believed that my local Target was an actual Nintendo store/warehouse. Due to the fact that Target and Nintendo at the time shared the same color scheme and the fact that I was always interested in video games, I really thought that I lived next to a Nintendo store. Interesting enough, everyone back at elementary school had that same thought about Target. :xd:

 

[Curmudgeon]

Up until about age seven was convinced there were people plotting to kidnap me. I even went as far doubling back over my tracks in the snow and dragging my feet in dirt to keep the phantom kidnappers from seeing distinguishable tracks (and other stuff I saw in movies)

 

[Terminus]

The steady state infinite universe model, cats were aliens, christianity, Astrology, and a wide variety of pseudological things that were accepted as "common wisdom" by many people I knew.

Monsters, to begin with, and a lot of other crazy stuff.

 

[Wolf Sage]

I used to believe that all cats were, and could only be, female. This belief stuck with me for quite some time.
