toys

I used to believe that stuffed animals had cameras in their eyes and thats how the toy companies knew what kids wanted in toys. which is why they always came out with better toys the following year.

...That the dolls I had in display cases talked at night and followed my gaze with their own.

When I was little I saw the Child's Play movies with Chucky and the Nightmare on Elm Street movies with Freddy Krueger. I had a girl talking doll that was about the size of Chucky too. I always thought that Chucky, Freddy, and my girl doll were out to get me and would hide under my bed or come when I was asleep. I would sometimes run and jump to get in bed. I also believed that my Cabbage Patch Kids dolls protected me. I had 3 of them so I would lie with 2 on one side of me and one on the other when I was going to sleep.

When I said "shut-down" mode the toy would "power down" , meaning they couldn't feel anything when me and my sister were done playing.We created this because we don't have a shelf and put our toys in a big wooden box thing and the toys would get crowded.

When I was little, one of my friends had a toy fire truck that had a big red button that said "fire" on it. My friend told me that pressing it would make the truck light on fire, so i never played with it ever again.

When I was 5 after I saw ToyStory I thought that my toys would come to life when I left the room or went to bed ect. And If I treated them bad they would come after me in the middle of the night. So I always 'played nice'

When I saw the movie Toy Story it made me believe that if you treated your toys with the utmost care they could come to life. I remember I would go as far as bathing my toys and shampooing my barbie dolls hair.

I used to believe that my toys would get cold at night so i always put them on the bed and under the covers when i went to sleep.
P.S Totally because of toy story. =P

I used to believe that my stuffed animals would get lonely and sad when I was gone so I had to leave them at least in pairs so they had a buddy to talk to.

I used to believe... that when there was no one in my room, my toys gain life... and start to play by them selves.

...the game Guess Who had a commercial that came on all the time. Wacky people would become animated and talk to you and tell you if it was them or not. I thought the game cards would actually come alive and talk to you. My parents never bought the game for me and would constantly have to talk me down from thinnking the charecters came alive and were interactive... =( soon enough lol

When I was little, I thought that babies in the mothers womb had toys with them, so they couldnt get bored. Think: miniture cars, barbies ect.

As a child I believed that if I didn't have stuffed animals completely surrounding me, it was quite possible I would be murdered in my sleep. My logic was that each animal had to be thick enough in key areas (heart, head, etc.) that a knife could only do minimal damage to me. Something about a child's brain not having adequate information to process probability. Strange.

I used to believe that barbie dolls would come alive at night when i was sleeping. i soon realised by the age of 8 that this was a lie lol.

I used to believe that vegetarians didn't play with toys so I bought this vegetarian kid two bottles of V8 for his ninth birthday.

one time i really wanted a pink cloth child's wallet at a toy store, that had a kitten holding a star-topped magic wand painted on it. somehow i thought this picture meant the small wallet contained a full-sized wand, and when my mother bought me the wallet i was crushed that this was untrue. i felt absurdly self-pitying about my deprived childhood afterwards.
