| what did you believe when you were a little kid? Posted: 9/29/2006 10:15:53 PM | My grandmother made us easter baskets every year that would magically apear easter morning... we were told the easter bunny had left them.... One year when I was about 5 yrs old... I slept by the front door with a plastic baseball bat and my dog's leash... I was planning on conking him on his little rabbit head, stealing all his candy, and keeping him for a pet...
I was quite the evil child
also around age 5 I had a raggedy andy doll... every x-mas this doll would be taken by santa and given a bath and new clothing.... Dspite what my parents told me... I realized santa was just giving me a new one... So this one christmas I baricaded my room... I piled books up against my door and tied my raggedy andy to the bed bedframe, door knob,ect with string so santa couldn't get him....
It worked ... Santa didn't get in my room... and I still have that raggedy andy today

| what did you believe when you were a little kid? Posted: 9/30/2006 6:16:51 AM | when i was a wee lass, my mother used to say, when we cried, that if we kept that face on and the wind changed it was gonna stay that way.
i also believed (thanks to my older sister) that when it rained, be careful on the toilet, cause rats had a way of coming up into the bowl...
family are cruel. | |

| what did you believe when you were a little kid? Posted: 9/30/2006 6:18:46 AM | I believed that being all grown up was WAY more fun than being a kid. Boy was I wrong.....
@Leeann: Maybe a fairytale that all little girls are conditioned to believe. Damn I hate Cinderally!! | |

Posted: 9/30/2006 6:25:58 AM | When I was bad (which was often), my parents used to tell me that they were gonna take me to this man's house (Mr. Hawkins was a fictional name) where it had a dark basement, was creepy, and also had a car wash attached to the house (I was scared of car washes when I was little. I used to get out of the car and walk to the other side). It worked more often than not.
Today, I wash my car in my own driveway, LOL. | |

Hehe, I got that one too! I still make it a habit when my father and I are travelling in the country to point out the chocolate milk farms from the white milk farms!!!
I believed the CN Tower was a radio for talking to martians...
I believed I could get electrocuted if I scuffed my feet on carpet too much...
I believed if I changed the channel on the TV too often, I'd get sucked into a show and never be able to get back home... Didn't they make a movie about this one?
Sigh, parents & siblings are so mean.... hahaha. | |

| what did you believe when you were a little kid? Posted: 9/30/2006 1:59:03 PM | Ok my cousin told me when I was younger that there was gas stations built in the sky for airplanes. I actually believed that for many many freakin years......
Secondly he also told me that when you went to the bathroom on the plane and you flush it, all the poop just comes down and falls to earth....again I believed this for years and years
Thirdly my oldest brother told me that we actually lived under the ocean, that we were the fishes and that other beings lived above us. He claimed that the sky was actually the top of the ocean that we lived under and then asked me to wonder why is it that no matter how far we go into space, we still cant reach the top?
His rationale was that we are the middle earth and the ocean is the third earth and there is something else that lays beneath the ocean. he also asked me to ponder why is was that no matter how much we dig into the ocean bed, there is always more to dig and it's never ending.
So for many years I believed that we weren't actually human beings, just the middle "things" in this weird form on this planet which is only the beginning of something greater than us. I was so f*cked up over this I almost had a nervous breakdown!
And the creme de la creme, we were told that little children who do not behave and gave their parents any kind of trouble, they were marked and taken away by the "Black Heart Man" He walked around in a black suit, no matter how hot it was and he never sweat and he steals bad little kids' hearts and leave them to die!
Needless to say, I obeyed my parents and never went outside when I shouldn't and most importantly I feared deeply for any man I saw in a black suit! Sometimes till today I still do....lol
One only wonders how I have been able to survive all this crap and not need THERAPY | |
