i believed that if you accidentally let a balloon go it would keep floating up so far that it would actually go into outer space.

i used to believe that the sun/moon would follow me because i could see it where ever i was.

At dusk, when the sky would turn pretty swirling colors my mom would tell me, "Santa's making candy!" To this day whenever I see a pretty sky at night, I get nostalgic and think about all the ways I'm going to lie to my kids when they're old enough to understand, but young enough not to know better.

I used to believe that the earth was like a board game for giants and that every action was controlled by them from a raindrop to an earthquake..

When I was a child I used to believe that there is a person on the moon who is watching us with a telescope all the time.

when i was young, i refused to believe what my teacher said that you can't count the stars in the universe. i was so resolved that i can do it before i'm 20, so everynight for almost 3 weeks, i saw to it that i counted at least 20 stars... making a mental note where i "stopped" counting the previous night! I finally stopped when for 3 straight nights it rained heavily and since i saw no stars during that time - i thought the sky wiped away all the stars that i've already counted and no way, i'll start from 1 again!

I used to think that the moon wasn't the moon but was just a reflection of the earth. When people told me 'There's the moon' I would think to myself 'You're crazy'

I used to think that stars are made by God for children to stop crying, to enjoy and they are our toys to make us happy and they do not twinkle but wave to us.

I used to believe that the world was solid and that the stars were the little holes that the astronauts would use to get out to outer space.

Not my belief, but I knew someone who truly believed the sun was only bright on one side, and someone turned it around at night so we could all get to sleep. This belief was shattered on one of those evenings when you can see the moon in the sky while the sun is setting - but she believed until she was over twenty years old.

I used to think that you could feel the world spinning.

I used to believe that the reason there were nights I couldn't see the stars was because god hadn't paid his electricity bill.

I used to beleive that Pirates lived on the moon because i never saw them anywhere else.

I used to think the creaters in the moon was the baby that was going to be born tomorrow. It always seemd to look like a baby.

When I was little, my dad used to say that sometime we'd "sleep under the stars." I had this picture in my head of literally sleeping right up underneath a star, possibly in some kind of hammock-like-thing. In my head, the stars would be huge, bright and shiny, but perfectly cool. One day I asked my dad when we'd sleep under the stars, and he said something like, "We did, remember?" He was referring to a recent night when we'd all camped out in tents in the yard. I was a little disappointed, but I got over it.

I believed for years that the sun and moon were the same thing - it just glowed more in the day :)

Deb

when I was small I always thought that the solar system ended, and then it was just white paper after that

The sun switches off at night and on again in the morning

When I was a child I used to believe that the stars and the other celestial bodies were at the same distance from the Earth.
