When I was an ankle-biter, I thought that if I spun around in a circle I'd be taken to another reality, then, if I spun in the opposite direction, I'd be able to go back home again. When I was about nine, and living in Tassie, I was walking through a rain forrest with my mum, dad, little brother and sister, dog, uncle, aunt and one of my cousin's. As I was walking, I looked up at one of the tree's and saw some fungus on one of the branches. I asked my cousin what it was, and he told me it was monkey shit. "Monkey's climb up the tree, and then they press their asses up against the tree and shit. That's shit,". I believed him. In primary school, I thought that if you were an evil person, you'd have dark ring's around your eye's. I thought Humpty Dumpty was an evil eggy person. I saw a creepy videp clip as a kid of him screaming up at storm cloud's and lightning while sitting on a tower of gold that was swaying as if it was just about to fall over. I think it did, and HD smashed into a million egg shell shards, of course. In Tassie, I had a bucket full of small fish that I'd brought home with me after fishing with one of my uncles. My mum made me put the bucket in the laundry, but I thought they looked lonely, so I sat in there with them for a while, trying to catch them with my hands again. I did catch one, but it slipped out of my hand's, and flopped under the washing machine. I ran and told mum, but she told me that the fish was quite safe under there, and probably found a new home already. I believed her. Lies! All lies! I was (am) such a gullable person.
I also thought when you grw up you could become an animal. It really pissed me off when I found out I counldn't be a girraffe.
I thought that if I cut up my food into smaller and smaller pieces, they would eventually disappear and I would not have to eat them.
when i'd wake up to go the bathroom in the middle of the night, i believed there was a monster in the toilet that came out after i woudl flush it...so i'd race back to my room and shut the door before the monster got to me
They are animals, genius. We all are animals. Unfortunately Penny, my dear OP, I can't think of anything to contribute to your thread, though it is a good topic. I's just a lil stoopid right now.
I believed that if i really believed this hard enough, it would happen. I tried to get in a paper bag, and made a helicopter thing out of scraps from the house, and thought i could fly over my school and be cooler than everybody because i was flying lol.
i believed there were a lot of little elfs of the size of thumbelina living in the grass i used to try and find them, but... alas!))))) i also believed i could fly down with the help of un umbrella
me too!! and i beleived my sister when she told me she seen a leprachaun dance on my head every night and that when your sleeping at night all your toys come to life so gullable :rofl:
smarty- I believed until at least 11. .. same with santa, and prolly fairies. I also believed people died and turned into butterflies- that's totally true though, right? My 4 yr old woke up hysterical yesterday crying "unicorns aren't real!" - she's such a cynic already.
I used to believe I could trick my shadow and my reflection, as if they were real. Awww!!! That's so cute. (even if you're not being serious)
