What I Used to Believe

When we were little younguns did we believe such ridiculous things? Of course we did we were merely growing up to become more wiser yet before the process of gaining knowledge, we simply had to think for ourselves. Now when I was younger I thought what was happening in films were actually real life. I also believed butter came from Butterflies (yes i am embrasssed). There are many others which are quite obscure at this moment in time so I will leave it at that.

So when you were younger what did you believe was true in your mind which you laugh at nowadays. It can be anything. Oh and another thing, I was watching cartoons at quite a young age so I was foolish enough to believe that I could actually fly for a short time and that I could stand in mid-air . The beauty of learning certainly is an exaordinary thing but at that age I had no idea.

i used to believe that when you started to run really fast youre legs would spin around in a circle...i also used to believe i was cool...stupid, huh?..about the legs thing...ok ill shut up...

People don't grow out of believing silly things, well, not all of them anyways, they just move on to new ones.
Horoscopes, Psychics, Perpetual motion machines, Aliens etc.

Anyways, off the top of my head I can't think of any silly things that I thought that aren't rather generic.

Well, I dont know if this counts. But I always wanted to fly.

When I was five-ish, I would grab one of those plastic walmart bags, pretend it was a parachute ... and in hopes of flying, I BELIVED ... that if i stand on the coffee table, and jump off ... I would hover in the air.

Yes I did that. I stood on the short coffee table in our living room, and would jump off of it with a plastic grocery bag in hopes of hovering.

When I was 7 months younger I thought ZU was cool.

I also used to believe Squirells were out to get me. Bad squirells, creepy squirells.

When I was young I thought God was an old man with a long beard, sunglasses, and an extremely worn out robe.

But for all we know, He might be. O_o

I used to think the word Tatoo was a swear word.

I used to think that there were monsters under my bed and in my closet.

I used to think the word Tatoo was a swear word.

Any reason why?

When I was real young, I always thought people could read my mind...
Ah.

I used to think the word Tatoo was a swear word.

Any reason why?

probably because he thought that tatoo meant taboo so he thought it was a taboo to say tatoo and even though taboo isnt bad but people ofter refer to swears as taboos. Uh, lets see. I thought my world was t.v. show for a brief period of time then i believed that there was an evil version of me that lived in my closet with red eyes (the idea came from a photograph) it lead to a series of bad dreams when I was 5 or so.

Heh, it's probably more likely that he saw people that he knew swore wearing tattoos, and no doubt his parents were rather anti-tattoo, I've yet to meet any that aren't. the association of the words tattoo and taboo would take some work for a small kid to grasp.

I don't laugh at anything I used to believe in. I think it's beautiful: being ABLE to believe in such things at that age. I am very proud of what I used to believe in and I wouldn't change it for anything.

In fact, I think my old beliefs are what made me who I am today.

I used to think that if I ran fast enough I'd be teleported 50 years in the future, and that dinasours died out about two hundred years ago... that monkey bread was made of real monkeys...

I always used to think that "heck" was a swear, too, so whenever we sang "It Aint Gonna Rain No More" in 3rd grade, I'd sing, "How the hell will I wash my neck if it aint gonna rain no more".

When I was younger, my friend and I would go out to a soccor field on windy days. We would take an unbrella with us and climb the blechers and jump off of them with the unbrella to see if the wind would carry us. It never worked though.

I also used to believe that some of my favorite characters from cartoons or movies were my imaginary friends. I am an only child.

When I was a kid, I used to think that people lived inside my television set XD.

I don't know if this counts but I also remember when I was about 5, my teacher told me that she was sick because she had lost her voice box- so I spent my lunch hour looking for it XDDD.

Its very sad but I never believed in anything like that. For example when my parents told me about Santa at age 5 I said that the whole thing was ridiculouys and impossible. I said that it was impossible to tour the world in one night. I said similar things about the easter bunny and the ,tooth fairy. The only adsurd thing I ever really belived in was that demons would come for me at night.

LOL!!! That's is SO funny! XD Definitely sounds like something a five year old would do.

Rhea I thought exaclty the same thing about my TV. I used to think that they were crammed in this strange world pretty much like our own but being shown through our tv screens. Its weird when I think about it, not only that but I used to think there was tablets that actually made you grow bigger and smaller in a matter of seconds (sigh, cartoons again).

When I was little, I thought that I had an evil twin. I would constantly make up stories of my mother driving me to a warehouse, and me fighting my evil twin to the death with plastic swords inside the warehouse. But, my evil twin would always come back. Pretty dumb, I know. I was a stupid little kid.
