in my closet

I used to believe that sequins grew on trees-- when I was small I refused to wear sequined clothing. I now know the truth, however, I still don't like wearing sequins. :)

I used to believe that a dead cow lived in my closet. The cow could come to life at night and was a glow-in-the-dark cow. I was absolutely terrified that some night it would come out of my closet and get me.
i really don't know where the heck this belief came from.

Once when I was little I heard my dad referring to somebody as being "in the closet" and thought they really were locked inside of a closet somewhere and couldn't get out.
Then I met the guy in question and his boyfriend, and everything got cleared up.

when I was about 4, I used to think that on Black Friday, everything would actually turn black. A half a year ago I got a pair of white boots which I thought were the ugliest things, but I would have loved them black. I woke up on Black Friday and was very disappointed to see that they were still white.

My brother had a stamp of two little feet - foot prints, and I guess one day while I was not in my room he went and stamped them all over my closet door. I honestly believed there was a little man living in my closet... looked for him all night and day. lol

When i was little, like 5 or 6, i beleved in every closet in the house had big headed family members that came out every friday nightthey came out and ate you. So one friday night, i was in my room, and when i fell aslep, i woke up in the middle of the night. I looked at the closet and a big headed verson of my dad came out. Then he started talking. He was very nice. Then i woke up. and my mom was standing there. it was the weirdest dream ever!!!

Well I have 3 boy cousins, and whenever my best friend was at my house, we would run in my closet and jump ontop of all the stuffed animals in there. So when I jumped ontop of them I thought I was hurting my stuffed animals and I would complain to my friend that we were hurting them and she'd keep telling me to shut up.

I used to believe that my clothes just kept shrinking and that's why every year, my mom would have to buy me new clothes. What a mysterious world this is!

When we went to our family friend's house when I was little, my brother and their son would try to keep me out of his room, so they told me that there was a monkey in the closet. For some odd reason, this relly terrified me and whenever I would go in there they would open the closet and pretend to reach for something and say they were getting the monkey. I would cry.

That the closet in my livingroom was the entrance to a secret world...When in truth its just where my dad kept old vcr's and video tapes.

At age 12 I got so upset i cried when i went to go get a new pair of jeans, because my old ones had been so good to me and i was afraid their feeling would get hurt because i had had them for like 2 years, even though they were ripped everywhere i didn't want to get new ones. I was the same way with tennis shoes!

when i was about three or four i used to live in this apartment and then we had this really hugh closet in the hallway. I had to pass that closet to get to my room too. I used to think that there was this blue horrible monster in the closet and when i would walk by it, the monster would come out and eat me. One time, I had to go into the closet to get my shoes and then i realized that there was no monster in there.

the girl who was afraid of her closet

When i was about 7 years old I thought that after school all the children came home & hid in my closet & secretly watched me, i was frightened to change my clothes anywhere but the bathroom for years.

I could never figure out where they hid when i opened the doors though.

One time when I was maybe 3 or 4 years old, my mom was putting away some clothes in her closet. A support on one of the shelves broke, sending the shelf and its contents crashing to the floor. Angry and annoyed, my mom started muttering, "Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!"
I assumed that she was referring to the closet.
The next day, I asked, "Hey, Mom, can I put the damners in the dammit?" (If a closet was a dammit, clothes must be damners!) After she recovered from her surprise at what had just come out of her young daughter's mouth, she and my dad had a good laugh.

In my grandma`s house, there was a closet with a big boiler tank thing in it and when it was heating up, it made big gurgling noises. When I was small, my cousin told me that it was The Closet Of No Return and there was a big hungry monster ready to eat me inside, which explained the gurgling noises.
