around the house

When i was little, i for some reason believed my furnace provided heat for the entire neighborhood. So one morning i decided to make cookies. I made cookie dough, pored it into the ventilation duct hoping it would go down, get cooked and then be sent to peoples house by the warm air. This was when my parents stoped loving me.

i used to tell my sister that when you take something out of the freezer and it has bits of ice stuck to it, that they were ice animals and if you took them off the snow queen would come and get you.

i used to believe a tiny man lived inside the hairdryer b/c when i was done using it i could hear a tiny clicking noise and i thought it was the tiny man hitting some metal with a hammer.

when i was really little, i used to believe that there was a tiny elf in the fire alarms who had a huge nose. i thought that he held a lantern (you know the little green light that is on fire alarms) and had a whistle so that if he smelt smoke he would be able to warn us. i don't know why but they always have made me nervous. hehehe! how silly!

i used to believe that there was a shadow monster lurking in every dark room so id run really fast whenever i had to go through the dark. im pretty sure i started believing this after i watched a particularly creepy scooby doo episode when i was about four. i believed this for the majority of my childhood and have been weirded out by the dark ever since.

When I was a kid I thought the toaster would blow up if I didn't hurry to pick up the bread when it was done. Why? My siblings used to joke about it when they thought I was too slow picking it up and I thought they were serious.

When i was little my sister told me that the small island that would connect to the beach infront of our house would flip over at night and zombies would start to have a party on it.

I used to believe that when you were watching TV and someone said "don't change that channel" or "don't touch that dial" and you did, someone would appear on the screen and start yelling at you for changing it.

When I was younger my brothers and sisters, total 9 kids, we were told we couldn't go in the swimming pool after we ate for 45 minutes and the only way we could we had to do laps around the yard, we had 7 acres, if we didn't we would get stomach cramps and drown, ever night we did laps around the yard, come to think of that I still believe that today. I wonder if that's really true lol I'm gonna have to look that up on the Internet

My mom,when she was very small,got angry at her family and went under their house and planted a peach seed so it would grow up and turn over the house.
Later,she got over being mad and spent a great deal of time under that house trying to find that seed .She never could find it and she had nightmares about the house turning over.

one day I saw my cousin, Sam, reaching and grabbing things at the window that were invisible to me. when asked what he was doing he replied that he was "catching the sun" (he saw the dust particles floating around and beleived that it must be sun)

When I was about 5 we got pink bats put in our roof and i when asked why i was told 'they keep the heat in' which is normal enough exect for the fact that i was scared out of my wits because i was under the impression that there were real bats in out roof. I couldn't sleep properly for months.

When i was a kid, my mother told me that if you stepped on a sliver of glass, even a tiny one, it would get into your blood stream, flow into your heart, and kill you.
Broken glass still freaks me out, and if i break something glass, i clean the entire room top to bottom.

When I was little my parents told me that whenever you open the refrigerator door, a little man inside would run so fast you can't see him to turn on the light, and then run back to his house behind the fridge. For a while I was too afraid to open the door.

At the age of 3 or 4, I remember my Dad looking up towards the roof at wasp nests under the eaves. He would complain about the "wasps being back and having the run of the house". I thought wasps were little gnome or elf like creatures that lived on the roof. I sat outside for hours looking up in an effort to catch a glimpse of them.

My grandfather used to tell me that if you ever ran over the vacuum's electrical cord while vacuuming you'd get electrocuted and die. For the longest time when I was helping around the house I'd get nervous while vacuuming and thinking that if I let my attention slip for one second, I'd be dead. Eventually I reasoned that this was probably a minor concern back when vacuums first came out and that I had little to worry about but I still don't ever run over the cord.

I used to go to sleep with a night-on, but every morning it was mysteriously turned off. I honestly couldnt think of how this happened.

Once I thought these two teenagers who used to wash my mums car lived in our attic. Hahaha!

Roxanne

My mother did this when she was young.

She was doing the dishes and complaining to her father that she couldn't get a pan clean, so he told her to put a little elbow grease into it. She in turn searched the cupboards for the elbow grease can while he laughed his but off. she had no idea it wasn't a cleaning product

when i was about 4 or 5 the way my older sisters would get me out of the room was to say "the carpet can eat you lily you'd better run" i would always run away thinking it would eat me.
