At the risk of feeling stupid, I'm gonna admit that I wasn't all that young when I had this misconception -- after all, bag clips or chip clips haven't been around all that long. Anyhow, I used to be really puzzled about bag clips with magnets on them. The magnets are never strong enough to hold a bag on the refrigerator with any substantial amount of chips or other content in it. So I wondered why they bother to put magnets on the clips if they aren't strong enough to hold a bag on the refrigerator. Eventually I realized that the magnets are to hold empty clips on the refrogerator so they'll be convenient for when you need to put one on a bag, not for hanging actual bags on the refrigerator.
I used to believe that if you opened the window at night time, the darkness outside would come in and fill the room. My older brother would delight in tormenting me as he threatened to let the dark in by opening our bedroom window.

As a child, every time I took anything from the refridgerator or freezer, after I had finished, I would give the door a gentle push so that it would close slowly giving me enough time to get off of the linoleum and onto the carpet of the living room before it closed. I believed that if I was still on the linoleum when it closed, then I would turn into a frozen iceblock statue.

I used to think that if you put something in the VCR it would show up on the TV so one day I was very disappointed when I put a piece of popcorn in it and it didn't work.

i remember having my friend danny over and telling him about how my dad had a special drink that made u irrisistably attractive to women... it was his aftershave...
We thought each plug was for a particular thing, and if you plug the wrong thing it won't work properly, as in plugging the TV to the plug meant for the piano it will play music that's all
My friend told me that he didn't want to sleep in the room where there was a refridgerator, because he thought the room would be really cold.

when i was younger i thought that the air vents led directly to China, dont ask why its little kid logic. One night my mom told me that i should eat all of my vegetables because there are starving people in China who would like to eat them. Well i ran out to the air vent and shoved my broccoli into the air vent. my mom got mad and said that only the spiders would eat thebroccoli and that the vent didnt lead to China. This event happened several times, once with shreaded cheese ( i was feeding the spiders though)
We had a shilling-in-the-slot gas meter, and I used to believe the shillings themselves actually physically turned to gas.

When I was little my sister was in amateur dramatics and my mum was often sewing theatrical dresses. I remember them kidding me that the sequins were actually fairy records and I spent ages looking for a tiny record player that these would fit onto.

When I was age 7 I used to jump up and look inside my neighbours top-loading washing machine until she told me that if I put my hand in there sharp blades would come from out and cut my hands off.
I was 17 before I could ever go near one.

When I was 3 or 4, my uncle was babysitting me, and apparently I made a mess by dumping water on my favorite slippers which i had outgrown.
he asked what i was doing, and i explained that I was watering them so they would grow.

You know those christmas ornaments that are houses and stuff? Well, when I was little, I used to think little people lived in them and if I looked hard enough in the windows, I could see them. I was dissapointed at the fact that they always hid from me though...

I used to believe that there was a little man inside of the fridge that used a hammer to make the crushed ice that came out of the ice maker.

I used to believe the electrical outlets on the wall could move silently around the room at night, gliding across the wall to get into a good position to zap me with wires. The one next to my bed wwas upside down, so it had a particularly evil look. I used to put a heavy book against it to keep it from moving away, since I was sure that was the one that was finally going to get me.

i used to think when i was down stairs that if i didnt run up it fast enough a robber would come to the back door and try to shoot me
