When I was little my uncle told me that if you peeled an orange in one go, the peel would look like an elephant's head and I believed it for years. :(
I also believed my airing cupboard was a secret passage to Narnia or similar. :D
What crazy things did you believe as a little 'un?
My dad told me peeling an orange in one go looks like a mans weewee ;__;Quote:

God existed and pretty much everyone I knew was going to hell :jess:
I thought that the floorboards under heavy furniture (beds, chest of drawers, etc) weren't strong enough to walk on and I would fall down into a basement or something if I stepped on them.
I believed carpets could fly.
If you scrape your knee and cry, a priest will come out of the wound. Another variation is: If you scrape your knee and cry, rice will come out from the wound.
If you pierce a small needle through your skin, it will travel around in your blood.
When we were little (5 I think) we were always told never to go out at midday because we would get abducted and have our organs harvested to be sold inthe black market. We were also told that Indians (from India, duh) would take us and sell us.
The meat inside the siopao http://www.jcgmarketing.com/phix/siopao.jpg is made of cat meat.

that if you looked into the mirror and said candyman 3 times, turned out the light, then turned it on again he would apear behind you and kill you with his hook.
1,2 freddies coming for you. 3,4 better lock your door. 5,6 get your crusafix. 7,8 stay up late.

Um...lets see....Chocolate will give you zits, for one. That and evil things lived in the basement when the lights were off. :p
I believed in ghosts! :monster:
I thought GUM got stuck in your stomach for seven years if you swallowed, but so did my mom. I think she still thinks that actually.
Anyway, one of the reasons why I almost never chewed gum in the first place.
...I still thought that was true, like, a year ago. ;___;Quote:

When I was younger, I theorized that everyone in the womb had a penis, but then just for some people when they came out and it touched air it inverted itself, thus making a vagina!
It made a lot of sense when I was six.
rofl.
i beleived that if pennies fell down the vent they melted...
If I had an orange I would show you how it's done. :P Because that's very possible. (And very easy, if you think about it.)Quote:

def not an elephant XD
Elephants are phallic
- I believed that wishing on a star really truly worked.
- If two people really really loved each other and they kissed, they would make a baby.
- Eating watermelon seeds would cause fruit to grow in your belly.
- If you turned on a fan in a room and closed the door and fell asleep, you would DIE.
- When you're on your bed and sleeping and one of your limbs (arms, legs) fell off the side of the bed, it was cause ghosts under the bed were trying to pull you down. I don't believe this anymore, but I still always always keep my arms and legs from falling off the side of the bed.
- My Dad (who is a minister) would get paid for his work directly by God. God would come during the night and dump money on his bed for all his hard work for the past month or whatever.
lol i believed in the keeping the limbs on the bed thing and the watermelon thing lol.
Now that's just profane! Ban Ban Ban!Quote:

I see the elephant, but the other visual is funny xD
I used to figure there was -something- under my bed. Not necessarily monsters or anything. But just to be safe if I had to go to bed while it was dark, I'd jump in bed a few feet away instead of walking up and crawling in. That way nothing could grab me
..what, that's not true?!Quote:

There was a mermaid in the bathtub.
For a short time I thought God existed, but then I came to my senses and grew up.
lol no comment :DQuote:

I've heard that eating cherries and drinking milk together on a hot day = death, and actually some president died from this, or so I've been told. :eek:Quote:

When I was very little I thought I'd fall through the tiny gaps between the boards on the balcony, or through the imaginary line between the patio and the grass :spin:
I used to believe that the stars were watching me.
I told my mom to return my newborn sister to K-mart cuz I wanted a baby brother :p
At one point, I believed that when it thunders, an angel had just thrown a strike in a game of bowling in heaven! I thought it was cool at the time.
Haha I believed that too. And I still try to keep limbs from hanging over the edge of my bed even though it is four inches off the floor. xDQuote:

When your Mommy emailed that story about you believing people ran on batteries to me, it was one of the happiest moments of my life. That's one of the cutest things I've ever heard. xD <3Quote:

I thought I bought my mom from a "mom" store.
I thought everyone but me was a robot.
I still don't really have proof that this isn't true.
I used to think that when you were driving in the car, the clouds were following you.
I also believed that if you kissed someone, you would marry them xD
I can think of a couple more good ones for you. :pQuote:

Then who pays Miriel's dad? ;_;Quote:

But yeah I took a lot of things in my body that seemed weird (like oddly shaped bruises from falling or whatever) to be signs that it was true.
Yes. xDQuote:

Something that I'm sure many parents have told their children, but my friend's parents used to tell a friend of mine that when the ice cream van played music, it meant he'd ran out of ice cream.
Another friend's dad told him he was Tarzan and he didn't find out otherwise until year 8 (when he was 13).
When I was a little kid I used to think that people lived there lives and then when they died they just turned into babies again and started all over.
I used to think this was all a dream.
They said people on the internet is friendly and nice. :(

Also my father told me that we were descended from Mary Queen of Scots and I didn't question it until my twenties. Still have no idea if that's true or not.
