Childhood myths

[dodhungry]

I told my mom to return my newborn sister to K-mart cuz I wanted a baby brother

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.

• 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.

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. xD

I believed that people ran on batteries. And I threatened to remove people's batteries if they annoyed me.

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 <3

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

Babies came from bellybuttons!
Penises were as big as a stick of lipstick~ (this was as a teen for some time xD)
God existed and pretty much everyone I knew was going to hell

I can think of a couple more good ones for you.

When I was really really little, I thought the Tooth Fairy lived in this little porcelain house in our hallway. No idea why the Tooth Fairy, and I never believed in any other childhood fairy tale. Hell, (according to my mom) I apparently believed in the Tooth Fairy more than I ever remember believing in God.

[Calliope]

For a short time I thought God existed, but then I came to my senses and grew up.

Then who pays Miriel's dad? ;_;

Carrots made you vision better!

Carrots made you vision better! :eek:

Night vision. Supposedly. Vitamin B12 or some junk (can't remember specifics)

I thought everyone but me was a robot.

For about a year or two I was really convinced that I was an alien.

To add QQ to this story it was because I felt really different from everyone else and was waiting for aliens to come and pick me up and take me back home.

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.

Babies came from bellybuttons!

Yes. xD

also, for some reason I used to call Frosted Shreddies "Chicken Frosties". For years and years and years.

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.
