When you were little...

Looking back to when I was little, I realised that there were some funny things that I believe or thought. Just for some fun, if any of you remember something funny about when your were little, post what you remember.

Well, I remember two funny and strange things:

1. I didn't understand why it was windy. I always thought that wind was produced by trees, as I saw them blowing when it was windy. I thought that when one tree would sway, it made other trees sway and move and that made the wind stronger and carry to other trees/places. So I basically thought that if someone could move a tree, they could make it pass it on to another tree and it would be windy.

2. When I went to sleep, I believed that if any parts of my body, like my hand or leg, were sticking out the edge of the bed, that spiders would come from the floor and bite them. So I made sure everytime that my hands and legs were clearly inside the edges of the bed.

HEHE...when I look back, I find this very funny! :)

Any of you people ever had anything similar?

I used to believe that Typhoons (Subtropical Hurricanes) had a witch on a broom stick flying around, turning people into frogs or something... Of course I don't believe this now, but back then I would hide under my pillows when there was a typhoon and it was night time - In the day, I wasn't worried... At least I missed school because of them... Had to be some catch for something to be that good, lol...

Well, this is something that started in childhood, but still continues to this day. All the time, 24/7, I assume that someone can see me. Even when I'm alone and there's no possible way anyone could be watching me, I still assume there are some people watching. In some cases, if I've done something that might seem weird to the whomever is watching it, I'll try and sort of do sometihng or say sometihng to myself to explain it. Now, I know that there shouldn't be anyone watching me, yet I still act like this...It's very odd. Sometimes, I also think that people can see what I'm thinking...I know they can't, be sometimes I get nervous because some part of me thinks they can.

When I was neigh high to a grosshopper my parents said that if I ate watermellon seeds that they would grow in side me, had a many a sleepless summer night because of that.

I did the superman thing off the garage. With cape.

I rember smoking my first j when I was 11 the greatest day of my life

Damn, thesecretfire, you're incredibly paranoid...

I used to be afraid of my bedroom. And the attic, and the basement. And I used to hang out with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. One day I turned Shredder into a mouse, and for several years I would go into my basement and would all of a sudden start thinking about Shredder the mouse.

Not really, it's more like a habit I just can't stop doing...it's very weird.

I think we all tried the superman or the marrypopin thing before **** I still do it, but atleast with a bigger cape (parashute). I had ninja outfit and when I put it on I thought I was invisable to anyone, I would run around my back woods with this black outfit on. boy I was weird. What about the most stupid game you ever played? remember red light, green light. if not pm me and Ill explain it to you. lol. who had comic strip PJ's and the big wheels with the hole in the front tire. Man now you got me started on the good old days. I was about 5 years old when the first star wars movie came out. Now that was good movie effects. LOL

Hmmm... when I was little...

1.) When I would sleep, I dreamed that if a neuclear attack were to occur, that I would be safe because I was on MY bed and no one else's

2.) I hated my across the street neighbors: they were Mexican and poor so I always thought they were going to steal my stuff

3.) I one believed I was a jet plane once.

4.) I swam in a mudhole (not more than a foot deep) when i was six

5.) I stepped on a cactus once and had it go through my foot.

6.) I fell out of my bed (top bunk)

7.) When I put My hands over my eyes, no one could see me.

And More!

Hey- Ever insist when you were little that chocolate milk tasted better by the spoonfull. Or that white milk was only good full of self made bubbles. Geez, my mother put holes in the straws. Ha ha, I knew to turn it upside down when she wasn't looking(my dad showed me that behind her back).

I always talked my older brother into doing things. Together we practically gave mother a heart attack. We were my daddy's twin terrors. She hated it. My dad and i would always come up with tricks to play on everyone.

haha, i remember all those silly games i used to play. i now work in an after-school prog at the YMCA; now i'm required to play those games and be a kid again!! i like my
job! i don't think i did any of those superman or ninja things, but i sure was brave. i used to go into the woods with a friend and catch snakes and lizards, with my bare hands! but, before we
would pick anything up, we would first learn about the venomous snakes in our area. one time, i was in this small concrete tunnel with my cousin trying to
pull me out on one side, and a friend poking a stick at me. all of a sudden, i felt this sharp pain in my head, then it went away. when i went home i saw something sticking out of my head, but i remained calm. my mother freaked out! she rushed me to a fire dept, and then to a hospital. that stuff they put on my head stung really badly, but everything turned out ok. i still have a small scar just behind my hairline on the top of my head! geez, and hanging out with friends when i was little...we always got into mischief!!

The worst one I would say would be the parental knowledge thing. You know how when you were a kid you thought that your parents knew EVERYTHING you did. And every time you did something wrong they ended up knowing about it. That would be the worst for me, when my parents found out EVERY little thing that I did and I got into "trouble" for it.

my parents usually tricked me into confessing by saying that i did something wrong that they knew about. sometimes i would confess to about 5 or 6 things
that they didn't know about:)

When I was a kid I would talk to my grandma on the phone like most kids but
What was different is I could not figure out how some one her size got in the
little phone.

I 2 used to have a ninja suite and "creep" around the area in which I lived...caused my mom to put me in karate at age 7....now I'm a first degree black belt. I also used to see things that were not there.....like spirits...paranormal stuff, etc. As a result, I'm an initiate of the Ordo Templi Orientis(look in a search engine) and still study the paranormal. I wish I had some happy stories to share....but I don't. I left home at the age of 12......grew up around organised crime, drug dealing, etc......have seen 2 many of my friends and family die from murders and suicides......got shot when I was 18. Damn, I should write a book. :3pow:

I used to think that when I went outside after dark that there were monsters hiding in the shadows watching me, just waiting for me to let my gaurd down so they could attack - because of it anytime I had to go outside after dark (leave bin out or something) I would run in zigzags and stuff in the hope that I could avoid them :)

The last thing I use to do and I swear dont repeat this to anyone, my cousins and I use to play this game called the toletbowl man and pretend that the bed was a raft and the pillows where terds and that the toletbowl man was fulshing us. We went on for hours and I wish today that I could have those days back. I loved my life up to my 15th Birthday when my mom and dad got the Big D. I wish I had all my mask toys, God thats got to be worth alot now. Well now im 27 in 2 days and I have to move on to what I think will be better days. If I had to tell anyone of you kids anything, it would be put away the computer and live your life before you lose it all. I send out my respect to all my freinds. jason who we got in deep **** with the law. william who I first smoked pot with, Stay off the roof dumbass And last but not least Ron you gave up alot to show me the ropes. I thank you all and to you all I hope a better life than I.

I'm incredebly Paranoid 2, I'm always checking the security on everything I have.
Looking if people are following me, and if people can see me or are spying on me....
It's really anoying, coz I'd take long detours just to make sure I wazn't folloed......
I'm just like that.....

If I got off the computer, I'd be pretty bored...hence, I stay on most of the time.

When I was really young, we lived in major farm country in Indiana...there were cows everywhere, and my dad told me that the ones that stayed in the pastures with hills were really special cows, because they had legs shorter on one side than on the other, so they wouldn't fall off....lol. I won't tell you how old I was before I figured out he was not exactly telling the truth.
I also thought that as long as you had checks in your checkbook, that was just like having money in your hand. I didn't understand why we couldn't just write a check for everything I wanted.... :rolleyes:

I thought I breathed only when I slept (For some reason I didn't need to when I didn't sleep) and I also thought clothes would get smaller with time (No, It wasn't me growing!! it's the CLOTHES!)
Anyone thought the same..?
