When I was a little girl, I used to think that my parents left me alone when I slept and they made audio-recording with thier voices so that I think that they were still in our house. So every evening I looked behind the door to check if my parents were still there. I understood the truth when I saw that every evening they were still there and I felt stupid.

I used to belive that no one could see me behidn the couch so i would hide there when i didnt want to go places i would hide there and i would close my eye no one could see me in my house with my eyes closed! lol

I used to think that the record button on a tape deck would make it blow up.(i.e: REC=Wreck) I'm pretty sure this wasn't a theory I'd come up with on my own. My dad agreeing with me may have helped to perpetuate the myth!

my bedroom has a window that you can easily get in to because it Leads into the porch. and i used to think that a kid napper would brake in and try to kid nap me so i put like 10 stuffed animals under my blanket so i looked really fat so they wouldnt bother trying to pick me up. and every morning i would wake up and say yay it worked!

I used to think that leaving the fridge door open too long made all the ping pong balls fall out.

I used to think that my house was bugged. That even if I was alone my parents could know what I was saying or doing, because they had hidden tiny cameras about the house. On TV, after all, if you did something bad you always got caught on camera. Sometimes I even wondered if people could bug my thoughts.

When i was young i used to switch on all electrical devices on in my home thinking if i dont do so then my neighbours would utilize the current....

I used to think when you moved house the house that the people's whose house your were moving into would then move into yours.

My brother was vacume cleaning cuz my mom made him. And so he told me that if I stepped too close to him while he was vacuming, he would vacume my feet up. Now when I vacume, I make sure to be at least 1 foot away from it.(Ha ha. Foot)

I used to believe that those tanks by peoples' houses, containing propane, contained milk, just in case the people ran out!

When I was little I asked my mother about a painting we had. It was of a man in armour on a horse. She explained that it was 'Don Quixote" and was from a book she loved. I heard 'Donkey Hotay' so I thought the book must be about the 'donkey' the man in the painting was riding. It was a number of years before I learned the truth.

Ya know when you're in your room at night and a car drives past your window, then you see the headlights on your wall? Well, until I was 9, I believed that whenever I saw those on my wall, it meant that I was up too late...

When i was little i used to believe that my dads trainers were not really trainers they were black lumps with foot holes in and they had black strings to make them tight.

When i was younger, I thought that those buttons on the outlets would destroy our house. If I pressed the yellow one, our house would collapse, and the red one would make it blow up.

When I was about three my mom took me to see the house ( the outside) I lived in when I was a baby. When we got there I said something like,"Let's go inside,now" My mom said we couldn't because it didn't belong to us. I never understood why we couldn't go inside.
