When I saw ads for toys that said "batteries not included" I thought it meant that the toy didn't need batteries to work. When I asked my parents for a toy I would ad "batteries not included" as a selling point, becuase then they wouldn't have to buy batteries.
I still hang onto the "toys have feelings" thing... and I'll be 24 in March. I know better now but... can't help it. Jessie's Song (She Used to Love Me) in Toy Story 2 must have darn near killed you. Well, I almost lost it, anyway.

When I was three to six years old or so, I used to believe that my toys had feelings. When it was night time, I would stack as many toys in bed with me and cover them up so they would not get cold. At the store, I would pick the stuffed bear with one eye because I knew the other kids would not pick him and that he was sad because he was different. I didn't think they could move or talk, but I was scared it would hurt their feelings if mom threw them away. I also thought crayons had genders. Red, yellow, orange and pink were girls. Green, blue, purple, brown and black were boys. Go figure. (I also knew which letters of the alphabet were boys and which ones were girls.)

I firmly believed my stuffed animals were alive. I would often burst into my bedroom, trying to catch them in the act of talking or moving. Some of them even got haircuts - being alive, the hair would grow back. Probably the weirdest result of my imagination was that I didn't give my toys names - they already had their own names, I just didn't know them because they never spoke when I was around.

As a ploy to keep us from putting small rubber toys in our mouths, our parents told us that toys were made out of boogies. I imagined a toy factory, where the workers picked their noses...

When I was little, I believed that my stuffed animals came alive when I left the room. So I always made sure that there were two of them together so they wouldn't be lonely. Too much watching Raggedy Ann I guess! Imagine my surprise when Toy Story came out and the toys came to life when the kids left the room!!

I used to believe that if I wanted a certain new toy all I had to do was find something that was the same color as the toy I wanted and throw it in front of the lawn mower when my dad mowed the lawn. He would mow over it and the new toy I wanted would pop out the back of the lawn mower.
My dad used to yell at me everytime I tried to throw something in the path of the lawn mower.

when i was a lil kid, like between 3 and 5, i used to think my toys would come alive when ever i wasnt around. so i would go to extreme measures to try and catch them in the act. one time i took all my toys that looked like they could come alive out to the livingroom and sat them in front of the tv. then i hid a tape recorder in my room and pressed record. then i brought them all back in my room and left them alone for the whole day. i would also do things like leaving the room, then bursting back in to try and catch them in the act, or listening through the door or wall w/ a cup or a toy stethascope.

I used to believe that the stuffed animals at the stores would be put through a shredder machine if they weren't bought. When my mother would tell me "You may choose one," I would agonize tearfully over the decision of which one would get to live and which I would abandon to torment and death. Often I'd pick the toy I wanted least, feeling that nobody else would want it either and it would be the first to be killed. I could almost hear them all crying "Don't leave me here..."

I used to believe that my stuffed animals all had feelings. I would sleep with them all on my bed, covered by a blanket, so that none of them felt unloved.

One Sunday when I was about 6 years old my parents and I were driving somewhere and we passed a Toys R Us. I begged them to take me there. My father simply said, "It's closed. It's against the law to buy or sell toys on Sundays." I think I was about 18 when I realized that they were lying to me.
Annika
I used to believe that my toys played without me while I was gone and that was way before Toy Story!

When my sister told me that her bear could read, I wanted her bear to teach my bear how to read. We set them up together, both with a book but when I came back all the pages for her bear were turned and my bear was just stupid.

I used to seperate my toys into two groups, the F'liters and the B'liters. (Don't ask me where I gotthese names from)
The F'liters were myfavorite toys, and the B'liters the ones I didn't care for. I would line them up on opposite sides of the room, and have pretend battles, which the F'liters always won.
Imagine trying to explain this to an adult! I only tried once.

My son used to say that when he played with his "action figures," his hands disappeared.

Remember the care bears? My sister had a nice collection of them all with their cute little curls of hair. Until I told little trusting sis that yes, it will grow again if you cut it all off. Should have got in trouble for that one but sis started crying at dad for shouting at me.

I used to believe that all of my stuffed animals were alive and would move around and talk about me when I wasn't there.
Ari
when i was a kid i was convinced that when i was out of the room, my toys came alive just like in toy story. i would always open my bedroom door really quick to try to catch them. somehow, it just never worked.

i was raised christian. when i asked my parents why i had to be christin, they responded by telling me that jesus was coming back to earth "any day now", and taking all of us christians with him to heaven. I was terrified. i didn't want to go to heaven with jesus if that meant leaving all my toys behind. i would carry around as many toys as i could at a time, sometimes strapping them to my legs with belts. if jesus returned to take me to heaven i could at least bring my toys with me.
