around the house

I have three daughters, 4, 6 and 7. They always put there dirty clothes in the laundry basket in our room. They usually have to be nosey and then I have to tell them to get out of our bedroom. I tell the girls that my bedroom is the Kingdom and they live in the village not the Kingdom and since I am the King I am also the warden so get out of my room. . So my 5 year old goes to school for show and tell and tells the class that she is a peasant that lives in the village and that the King is an evil warden.

Silly Kids...where do they come up with this stuff!

The Warden

I used to believe that animals could pop out of my walls and would eat me so I went in the hallway and slept on the floor or I would go in the kitchen and climb out the window

When I was young, my sister who is 6 years older would have to babysit us all summer long. To keep us in line she used a metal yardstick (which she called "the beater".) Although I don't think she ever actually whacked us with it, for years I thought a wodden yardstick was called a yardstick, and the metal ones were called beaters.

When I was little I used to think that they nails in my grandparents deck were slivers so whenever we would eat outside or sit around on their deck I refused to and I would sit inside.

As a child I was terrified of yetis (despite the fact I live in England and they don't) and I was certain that they lived at the bottom of my garden and in the cupboard under the stairs/other random places in my house. Whenever I went down the garden I would freak out and run back up it, screaming.
This belief was shared by my twin sister, as was the idea that, if you flushed the toilet, the yetis would come running (though I have no idea why they would do that or what they'd do when they got there).

I used to be freaked out when I went to my garage to get the food for my dog because I thought the Nain Rouge lived in a box behind my dad's car.

F.Y.I.: Nain Rouge is a creature that's been since the 1700s-Now.

I used to believe that alligators would jump up out of drain grates and eat you-my brother told me when i was four. I was gullible.

when i was a child, i used to believe that at the bottom of the pool was Atlantis like in the little mermaid movie. I was trying to press the tiles in case it came out of nowhere.

when i was 15 we always had a mailbox on the side of my house and we would reach out the door to get the mail. but when a nehighbor down the street tried to sick their dog on the mail man they made us put mailboxes at the end of our property. one day my mom told me to go get the mail and i looked out the window and said "the flags not up!" she looked at me in disbelief and busted out luaghing, i had no idea why. later after they told me that the flag was not up to alert to that the mail was their but to tell the mailman that there was mail going out. im still tuanted about it to this day especialy since i was so old and all my friends joke around an tell me to go get the mail and then say o wait the flags not up! haha

As a child, i used to believe that all inanimate objects were either male or female, for exapmle, forks were female, and spoons and knives were male. I also had different "degrees" of male and female, even before I knew about people being gay. Numbers, for instance: one was kind of ambiguous, two was male, three was male, four was female, five was male, six was female, seven was male, eight was female, nine was female but very masculine!!!! Must be the OCD in me!!!

If I had to iron I used to think I was the first person to use an electrick iron and I was showing people how to use it! The people were amazed!

At my grandparents house you have too go down a long hall way to get to the kitchen thought there were people watching me from the screen glass doors so i would ether run to the kitchen or make my dad go for me.It tended to need water at night (at odd times) So i would wakemy dad and tell him to get it .
