around the house

up until i was about 7 i used to believe that there was an evil old man who lived in all of the dark parts of my house and if i went into a room without turning on the lights, he'd tie me up and feed me to his pet cockroaches. i'm 13 now and i don't believe in him anymore, but i still fear being eaten by cockroaches

Aren't i just buggy?

I used to believe that there was a purple monster living behind the refrigerator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was little, we had a second house. It had a 'bedstee', it's a little room with only a bed in it. Anyway, I used to believe that there was a sort of imaginary world behind the wall, so I used to steal knives and screwdrivers to get behind the wood and into the other world... When my parents saw what I did with their wall they weren't happy...

i used to believe that a ghost lived under my bed and that a giant lived under our dining room table.

Back when I was about 8 or 9, I thought that if I listened hard enough, I could hear my parents through the vents. I still try whisper to my family using them.

I used to believe that doorways were evil. And there was one corner at the end of the hallway that was even more viscious. Each doorway in my house had it's own horrible monster. I was particualarly scared of the white fluffball and the bald phantom man. The corner at the end of the hallway was the worse. There was a dead girl with a green face and black and yellow eyes that would peak around, and I would wake up screaming because I was so little that if I dreamt or saw the corner it looked real to me. Now when I think about it, it is kind of embarrassing.

when i was about 4 or 5, my family told me that opening the door to the coal cellar it would cause an explosion... i believed it and stayed away, although i'd have LOVED to go in. Later on I realised they only said that to keep me from playing in there and making a huge black mess.

once when i was about 4 or 5, my sister who is 3 yrs older than me told me that there were crocodiles under our inside deck. i believed her and bawled my eyes out, and i didn't like walking down the steps in there or look inbetween the steps because you could see under the floor and over to the dark hole where the cross-space was. you can only imagine how confused my mom was when i told her that there were crocs under our house.

That blankets had some magic quality that made it so you could become warm and stay that way

Our house had a very steep stairway to second story with a metal bannister. When I was little, I used to "FLY" down those stairs, but when I told parents about it, they said "YOU DID NOT!"; and so I learned to STOP FLYING and just use the bannister and descend the stairs like grownups did. (But sometimes in my dreams I can still do that FLYING--and it always feels so FUN and FREE.)

One time when I was little my dad put my Mickey Mouse ears and I was totally convinced he was Mickey Mouse. I got my mom to take a picture of us. He took the ears off, and I told him how exciting it was when I met Mickey Mouse.

When I was little I used to beleive that if I went into a room with the lights off pieces of the sun would fall on me.

dad shouted up one morning to me and my bro to search for a cat that had run upstairs when the front door was open. We spent hours searching for it. Of course it was a ploy to keep us upstairs for hours.....

I used to believe that house fires were caused by foolish people who put paper on the stove.

I used to think duct tape was really called duck tape, and though it was made out of ducks, hence the name, duck tape. heh

when i was little, my ad told me that if i breathed in the air from the trashcan that i would turn into a mutant. so whenever i had to take it out i would throw a fit. I didn't even figure out that it was a cruel joke till last summer!

i used to believe if you stuck a crystal ball in a frreezer then wished for a sundae it would be there the next morning in place of the crystal

(note my mom used to have a ball made out of glass with gell in it but it looked crystal to me back then!)

When i was little, i used to think there was a little man in the refridgerator that would turn the light on and off for you. I would open and close it real fast to try to see him, but i never did. lol
