What is the wackiest belief you held as a child?

[JeanG]

I thought all parrents were watching us kids for some evil purpose. I'd slink around with a notebook and write down what adults were doing at what time. I sure wish I still had that notebook - it'd be hilarious!

[dshepard]

That if you drove on this one road close to my hometown, you would get to the end of the world. I have no idea why I thought that but it was in KS, so you wouldn't even hit the ocean, much less the edge of the world.

that the huge rock I'd carried home for about a mile had a fossil in it

[Rici76]

hmmmm good question, not sure i had one!

[MLee]

I went to a whacked out church as a kid so I won't even take you down that road - LOL! hmmm..

I also had a very OCD mother (think Monk) who had me believe that if I didn't check all of the doors and windows in the house three times each night before I went to bed that evil men would come in and get us. I did that until I married my current DH and we moved to the country - OH, and I got on medication... I think the medication helped - LOL!

me and my brother tried to run away to the end of the rainbow.. we thought it would be snowing there and we would be able to buy everything we wanted for rocks...


don't ask lol but my mom was upset to see us walking across the street in winter coats (we weren't allowed to crosss anyways) so we got in big trouble!

[sherry]

I cannot think of one thing

[grifscap]

I was a pretty level headed kid, but I did think at one time I was crazy, I head this voice telling not to do somthing which was bad.
My grandmother told me I was not crazy just hearing God talking to me. She said that made me speical.

[megamay]

for about a year I thought I looked goofy when I smiled, so I refused to smile EVER

[Flasher]

I thought that bad dreams came from inside my pillow. So, I would always turn my pillow so that the opening of the pillow case was against the wall. That way, no bad dreams could get inside my pillow.

[lilmacgil]

Well I don't remember this one, but my mom told me that I thought babies came out like spaghetti because the opening is so small.

[scrapscot]

During my teens, I had this bizarre idea that I was really adopted and that I was a lost sister to John Lennon. Maybe it was just wishful thinking.

[killarney_rose]

There were two....


One of my clearest memories of living in Niagara Falls, NY on Grand Isle was standing on the banks of the Niagara River and a friend's older sibling said there were alligators in the river! ahhhh.....NOT THAT FAR NORTH! I probably was around 5 at the time.

The second I didn't believe but was a reoccurring dream that tornadoes could see me and would come towards me. I had this subject of numerous dreams from the age of 9 years up until I was 12 or 13.

[beachlover]

geez, my mother freaked us out so bad we all are so neurotic

[LyndaKay]

I thought somehow pregnancy was the result of peeing in a bucket (I was 9)

[DolphinSoul]

That Dolly Parton was married to Kenny Rodgers! I was so upset when I grew up and found out they weren't! I loved them with the Christmas Album and their cute music videos! They just looked so perfect together!

I know that's odd for being a kids belief.. but that's the first one that popped in my head!

[ncokely]

That something was going to follow me up the basement stairs at night.

[JulesinParadise]

that if i stepped on a crack, I'd break my mother's back...honest!

[Sandi0805]

I can't think of one but I am sure that there was at least one.
