And why?

When I was little I remember that I would freak out if I saw leaves in the yard.
I thought that the Earth didn't like leaves all over it's hair (grass) so I had to rake them all up.
I remember thinking that reindeer could really fly, and I never questioned it.
I thought it was a legit fact.

As a baby I thought my shadow was a strange man following me, my aunty almost had a stroke over a little boy's shadow on the wall. Next one was when I thought my mother knew everything when I was baby, my mom later told me she didn't know everything. One time I thought my dog was speaking plain English to me, I almost fainted. When people punch me, I rarely faint or lose my mind going berserk unbound. Back in high school people said that actually happened the berserk part,that and I mentally became beasts and did a haunting on someone. I can't recall what happened on that day, I mentally got a zoo and a jungle in me. 4laugh

I asked one time at a restaurant when I was about 3 or 4 years old why raspberries had real (human) hair growing out of them. XD
For my kindergarten school picture I wouldn't smile very big because I thought you could see all the way to my back molar where I'd had one filling if I smiled.
When I asked Jesus into my heart when I was five I called him "the bright morning shine" instead of the bright Morning Star.
I accepted the story about Santa and the Tooth Fairy for awhile but was enlightened by waking up at night to find my mom in the garage wrapping the tooth fairy's gift which I received the next morning (a Ken barbie doll). I remember at about age 7 being shocked when I was in the back seat of the car on a trip to my aunt's for Christmas and the wrapped Christmas present sitting next to me ripped a little. I guess I thought it was spoiling the magic if it didn't stay wrapped. XD

I was never really superstitious, but when I was really young, I always had a strange "sensation" that there were snakes under my bed ready to attack my feet when I got close. I always told myself to stop being silly and not be paranoid, because it was completely illogical, but somehow that feeling persisted. So as a result, when I got close to the bed at night, I would jump onto my bed to get my feet away as fast as possible.
I think I know why I had that strange feeling though. I grew up my entire childhood with cats, and some of them liked attacking my feet from under the bed. I guess I got used to that, so during a period when we didn't have any cats that was when I developed that strange, almost superstitious feeling.
I eventually got over it by giving myself another "superstition" to think about. (Remember, I didn't truly believe in either of these things, I was just trying to find something to get my mind off that uneasy feeling.) So I told myself that as long as there was light shining on my feet before bed, the snakes wouldn't be interested in attacking me.
What was really bizzare was when I was in high school, one of my friends told me she used to have the exact same experience-- that strange sensation of having snakes under the bed ready to strike, AND she overcame it the same way I did with the "light shining on the feet" logic. eek

I used to believe that all of my stuffed animals were alive, so I used to leave food out for them when I went to school because I thought they would starve.
I also thought the devil lived in the ground, and if you pressed your ear against it he would try to talk to you. ><

When I was really little I was like four?
My whole family and I went to this restaurant called Chillis.
Around that time they had a band called Nsync doing a commercial for them for baby back ribs...
So I HATED that band because I thought they liked eating babies.
Then my sister ordered those ribs and I started bawling and throwing a fit.
My mom had to take me to the bathroom to explain that the restaurant wasn't selling babies as food and that she wasn't eating a babies rib cage.
I had very literal thinking as a child...

Back in my childhood, Cabbage Patch kids were popular. Once they came out, my mom said that I really thought babies came from cabbages. XD
Another thing is- my two best friends were my cousins and their family was christian. When they asked me if I was a christian, I said, "No." We were so young then. I had no idea what they were talking about- I didn't go to church like they did, so I felt I should answer no or be called a liar. My cousins gasped and backed away from me. They said if I wasn't a christian, I believed in the devil. Imagine my face when they told me that. I was so confused. Once I grew up, I realized we were all ridiculous.

I will revive this old thread just to say that I used to think that if I kept my eyes open for too long, they would dry up and turn into raisins. Actual raisins. *shudders*
