What's the weirdest thing you truly believed as a kid?

dunno that i BELIEVED it, as such, or whether it was just a fun thing to think about, but i used to have this idea that gravity might just stop working one day and start pulling from the side *usually the left, for some reason) rather than down. just in case, i tried not to be too far from a wall, so that if it happened i wouldn't fall very far and could carry on as normal, walking about on walls.

 

That things I could not explain were only in my head.

I know know now they are not only in my head but that does not mean that they are explainable.

 

thinking for some time ... remembered a very very weird ''thingy'' i had when i was little !...

every time i went to the bathroom and flushed, i had to leave the bathroom before the flushing noise ended ... or i dont know, i would die ... so i always flushed, left the toilet running and went wash my hands in another bathroom

also, i had a irational fear of alf, hell i would fucking turn off the tv whenever i saw that thing on it ...

 

how'z this, when i was a kid about 10 yrs old or so i was into science n shit a lot. so i knew about the big bang theory,gravity,inertia etc. so i thought this: the universe has a specific amount of mass, that was expanding. BUT i thought that there was enough mass in the universe to make it collapse upon itself after a given rate of time. after it collapsed upon itself, the universe would once again be put into the original singularity, only for the big bang to happen over, and over again forever. so i thought everything we have all ever done, will do etc has happend infinte amount of times, only to be repeated an infinite amount of times again. well now the current theory is that there isnt enough mass in the universe to make it collapse into the singularity again. YES I WAS A KID AND THOUGHT THIS UP MYSELF. society/parents being factory slaves suck so i did not pursue a career in science or whatever and became a hippie lol.

 

That there are little people in the stop light who change the color....

i believed my dad was santa claus

 

I believed the teeny little bag (filled with carbon particles?) that used to be in potato chip bags were really "magical" and if I could just figure out the magic words, I could make anything happen. I would make up Pee-Wee Herman like words, (altho' I didn't know of him then, of course - shaka laka hi, shaka hiny ho ) and when my mother caught me she asked what in the world I was doing! I was around 5 or 6.
I explained I was going to make magic. duh. Just never could figure out those words.

 

^ i like that story.its madgical.

 

I remember being extra careful not to eat watermelon seeds, for if I did, a watermelon would soon grow in my belly....and also beleived that thunder was the gods bowling.

 

God, definitely the weirdest thing.

I was told there was an identical copy of myself on the other side of the world.

I thought dead people lived in the clouds.

I thought my uncles farm, which was 60 miles north, was actually way down south. Like Hee Haw country south.

 

Step on a crack break your mothers back

...... Step on a crackwhore do it some more

That was on Rugrats. I still don't eat the seeds... just in case.

 

That my brother was stabbed by a crazy hobo in the backyard. The funniest part, is I made this all up; not him. (He was climbing a fence near the train tracks and cut his leg open.)

 

I had the strangest belief that I was allergic to pickles, of course I wasn’t and now eat them with regularity.

"madgical" - LOL I love that word.

 

I believed I would go blind if I was too close to the TV..and at night it was vampires that would get me..I wrapped scarfs on my neck to stop it..

I also thought aliens were monitoring us and if I drank enough Tang, I would grow up to be the first female astronaut..

 

I still have the tapes where I recorded ALF..

 

I always had the feeling that even when I was alone I was being watched. It could have been tied in with the believing in God business.

 

that anything enough people believed in would make it so. thanks to the disney move the shaggy dog, the original one in the early 50s when i was somewhere around seven years old or so.

 

I believed that mannequins were alive and could move around when we weren't looking.
Also, that there were other worlds that had secret doors to, if you could find them.
