creepy crawlies

I used to believe that slugs were deadly and they would bite you and kill you. 0_o Where did I get that idea?

What was I thinking?

As a child i used to believe that if you put a tube of cardboard on the soil in the garden and listened the swirling sounds you could hear were the sounds of worms moving around in the earth.

I once was terrified of falling through the trap-door of a spider
and never coming out, so I walked very carefully for a long time.

When I was a kid, the little "helicopter" leaves would come down from the trees, and they would scare me so much, because I thought they were dead bugs that could still fly.

When i was little i thought that there was a small, slimy snail inside my ear that let me hear, and that if i touched it with my finger it would crawl into my brain to get away and i would be deaf for the rest of my life

When I was 3 years old I was playing Mad Libs with my aunt who was around 12, my brother who was 9, and my sister who was 5. While I was laughing hysterically at the funny story we created I didn't notice that I sat on a moth. It was one of those white moths with the black dots that are all over the place, and it had landed on a chair a few seconds before I plopped down. My aunt noticed it, and told me. I felt bad about killing it, but even worse when my aunt proceeded to tell me about the moth.

She said his name was Booga Booga and if someone killed him that person would be cursed forever. I of course believed this and was terrified.
That day as I was running around the corner on my street I tripped and fell, cutting my knee. A few days later it happened again in the same exact spot. Later, when I was old enough to ride a bike, skate, and ride a scooter I would always end up falling at that corner. I was sure it was Booga Booga's curse.

A few years later I moved to an apartment that had a balcony. We lived on the lower level so the balcony was only a few feet off the ground. My sister and I were on it one day and one of those white moths landed on the railing. I was still scared to death of them, so I warned my sister not to hurt Booga Booga. My sister was older, so she no longer believed in Booga Booga. To prove it wasn't true she killed the moth. A few minutes later she fell off the balcony!! That was all the proof we needed. After that we never went near one of those moths again. I still will not kill one to this day and I am now 20 years old.

I used to believe that stickbugs were really Russian spies, and they contained a bomb in them, so if you hurt the stickbug you would die with the bomb!

I used to think that a spider would come into my room at night and eat me

When i was five, a huge praying mantis somehow landed right in the middle of my shrit as i was walking with my dad. I FREAKED OUT and sent the poor thing flying. Whenever i saw a mantis after that i thought it was the same one and i avoided it at all cost. i thought it would try to get revene on me for what i did

When I was a child my sister convinced me that a dirtdobbers nest was a twix bar. If you were a threee year old what would you think?? I ate it.

at my school, theres a big rock. pretty much everyone thought it was a asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, but in the process of wiping out the dinosaurs, it squished disney land so everyone tried to move it. we even hired slugs to help; we got about a hundred rocks and built a city and put slugs all over it and in the morning when they were gone we thought they went to disney land under the rock.
