POLL: Childhood beliefs
Let's wake up the board 
What were the funny things you believed as a kid?
I thought there were elves inside the traffic lights that controlled the traffic.
I thought all money you deposited in the bank was put in a little box with your name on it. I was appalled to learn they mixed everyone's money up!
I thought there was a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
I was deathly frightened of aliens and ghosts. Too much Unsolved Mysteries.
Re: POLL: Childhood beliefs
LOL!
I thought that little monsters slept under the bed, and if my feet were exposed while I slept, they would pull and/or bite on my toes. To this day I cannot leave my toes exposed while I sleep.
I've posted this before, but I thought that Soup Plantation was an actual plantation, so I was afraid to eat at the restaurant.
I also thought the ball pit at Chuck E. Cheese was made of quicksand. So, I was terrified to play inside of it. I hated that sinking feeling.
I thought a person watching the streets on video camera decided when the lights should turn red, yellow, or green and they would keep a light red if they felt like being mean.
I thought a lot of crazy things because I believed anything my older sister told me. Examples:
-There were real alligators in a rapids ride at an amusement park. In my defense the park had an African theme and there were alligators in the park.
-Does anyone remember Bonkers candy? Perhaps my most gullible moment, I thought the giant fruit would actually fall on you if you ate the candy. My sister swore over and over that it would.?
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
My grandmother told me I had better take care of my dolls because they came alive at night. She told me if I wasn't nice to them they might do something to me in my sleep. Yeah, pretty sure that's borderline child abuse, ha ha!
No strange beliefs here.
This.
That's the kind of thing that would terrify me. I always thought my stuffed animals were aware. ?
Sorta this. It was pretty much due to watching Critters. Those maneating fur balls scared the *** out of me. However, I'm am no longer afflicted by it. I can't stand having my feet under the covers, now.
me too! I can't stand having my feet uncovered while I sleep. I feel like someone's going to pull my toes or something.
I also used to believe that any stranger was going to kidnap me. I was terrified to go near anyone I didn't know. I don't know why. Thank God I grew out of it.
