Well, this thread is to share the stupid things you beleived as a kid. For me, I used to beleive in a monster called BoBo, and it lived in a wall. My brother convinced me it was true.
Another thing I beleived was that if I kept my hands in the Vulcan greeting position (Live long and prosper), I would turn into a Ninja Turtle (again, my bro told me this. and I was a big fan.)
Go ahead, laugh all you want at me.
On a side note, the fore mentioned brother thought star fleet and the federation and the technology from star trek were al real. He told our mom that he\'s gonna be a Starfleet officer when he grows up.

Bobo is indeed a monster. He eats children who act up. Haven\'t you ever been ingame?
I have no idea what I thought as a kid. I should probably ask my parents. They\'re probably full to the brim with embarressing stories that they can\'t help but share with relatives.
is bobo still around? I haven\'t been ingame for a while.
-
Boogy Man! a big fat man that steals kids, but after growing up its obvious that there are still boogy men around... :P
-
1 I always thought there where aliens on Earth (dont gimmi that \"aliens are here\" stuff pls :(
2 Barney (the dinosour thing)
3 hope for a future for man-kind
4 santa
5 ghosts
-
um god where do I even start...
Batman was evil (Had a batman poster on my wall that scared the crap out of me so badly I tore it down, this was before i saw the movie.!)
Santa was real along with the easter bunny, and don\'t forget the tooth fairy ^^
USA was the only one involved in WW2 (You can thank the movie industry for that)
Candy Man was real (Never looked in the mirror by myself)
Vegetables are good for you
Parents never lie
Teachers are always right
-
/me give commpliments depth on his last 3 things on his list
but you for got \"parants are always right\" I cant even name how many times I said to do somthing my way but my parants wanted it their way and in the end my way was cheeper, faster, and easyer.
-
All the things you mention exist and can be rationally explained. :)
The only thing that wasn\'t momentary that i rememember was my paranoia - for a long while I slept with the lights on, thinking someone will kill me or a similar accident by a robber. And spiders were even more evil in those days...;)
-
my dad had 2 things he always tricked me about both car related...
the red button in cars with the triangle shape my dad convinced me that was an eject button that whould send me flying out the car :P
also on the car he had the radio can be operatied by the steering wheel of the dashboard. he whould press the volume up or down on the steering wheel and wave his finger over the volume button and clame that he had magic powers :|

And there was a paranoia about a certain purple dinosaur... :D
-
well actually ( this is weird come to think of it ) i wasn\'t scared of anything ( like ghosts or animals below my bed ) and my parents never bullshit me with santa or the easter bunny only with that dutch idiot ( sinterklaas ) but that stopped when i was 5 when i ripped of the suckers fake beard.
so i really didn\'t have anything :S i\'m really weird.
DUH i\'m dutch

You were such an idiot back than (no offence). Ofcourse now you know that there is no hope. Were all DOOMED, DOOMED, DOOMED!
*Runs off to play some Doom3*

That we lived in a peaceful world.... that stopped after I watched the news for the first time.
And that there was a guy with green eyes that shot at you with poison darts which made you go insane following me everywhere I went :/ Thank TinTin for that :D (It\'s a cartoon for those who don\'t know)
-
Call me retard.
My sister told that penis was something inside ear when I was a kid and I believed it -____-
-
Well, er, that brings an awfully disturbing picture into my mind... Gee, thanks for totally destroying my Mirth! :(
Another thing I used to believe was that there was a tunnel somewhere under our house that led to France... Weird, eh? :D
-
Ok, ok, I really need to preface this with the statement that I suffered from a mental breakdown at twelve and did not recover untill I was about nineteen. So the following is from that period.
- Thought that I could fly/levitate while meditating.
- Thought that I was randomly changing between dimentions and that my memorys from the last dimention only remained for about 10 minuets (that explained why things were never quite as I remembered.)
- Actually remember trying to summon a fireball when in a fist fight.
- Thought that I could metamorphosize into a Dragon.
If you think I am crazy I will refer you to the BEGINING of the post...I was.
I was never tought to beleave in the Easter bunny, Santa, etc. My folks said that they would not encourage me beleiving in stuff that was not real.
-
There was this strange little crevice in the rocks behind my house that my neighbours and I called the \"Black Triangle\".. eventually we actually started to fear it, and I mean being *truly* creeped out when we got near it.
-
I once was told one of those stories parents tell to get their kids to sleep. Basically it ended with a witch turning a kid into a carrot (yeah weird i know). i didnt exactly believe it but stayed away from windows at night for awhile.
-
Oh I rememberd some more
Atlantis
The bermuta (sp?) Triangle (that suff goes missing there)
Magic
I thought that there where black holes surrounding the earth
I thought there was a brick wall after the sky and that space shuttles to go through a door in to to get to space (dont ask me where I got this from, I dont even know)
ET was a ture story
When you went on an airplane you where going from one planet to another (wtf?)
Wtf was wrong with me..... how did I actually belive this junk?
-
ATM\'s gave out free money to everyone.
-
I thought for a very long time that if you would press hard enough on your \"weener\" It would flip inside you and you would become a girl...I never tried it though.
-
Oh I remember aanother one!
That when you let go of a balloon outside it woud go until it reached balloon land. (you can thank cartoons for that one)
-
Lucky you... i was afraid of balloons, i thought that if i held them for to long, i myself would go to... uh... balloon land.
-
Man you people were wierd
1. I thought there was an assassin after my money (I had a piggy bank...shut up :P ) and so would rarely go close to windows (ages 4-8 )
2. I thought animals could talk
3. I thought I had super powers and would constantly try to use the force.
4. And, thanks to big bro, I thought Americans and French were aliens from another planet trying to invade...He was kinda prejudiced(sp?) back then
-
Magic and that I could control the wind (Hmm and now I\'m in the AO...Subconcious must be acting up :P )
That I could make a \"seamonster\" by putting every piece of junk (like urine, water, soil, seaweed, etc) into a bucket and swirling with a stick every day. It would magically disappear and I\'d find the bucket empty...I used to assume that the seamonster would have just left. Now I know it was someone getting rid of the smelly mess in the garden :P (And now I play an alchemist and I\'m studying chemistry...)
That my lunchbox was a car (Do not ask).
I also had (and have) a fear of cockroaches. But that is another story.
Edit: Oh yeah I just remembered. I also thought programmers were really cool, typing away at a keyboard. Come to think of it, I still do think this...Hmm.
-
Lunchbox...Car...I want one!
2 more from me:
I thiough star wars was real, and that some people could still use the force.
And that if I swung my hands in a circle, then I would fly off.
-
Hmmm never believed in santa and the easter bunny and all that.. It was always my uncles who dressed up and the rest of the family always enjoyd ratting them out to the children 8o
Belived in magic though... Maybe I still do
At age 5 my sister told me that people carry diseases around in their mouths, so if you drank from another person glass you would become infected with something.. <- She did that because she was tired of me always grabing her glass of water... To this day I\'m still manic about having a clean glass when drinking water, even though I know better!? (I prolly have to go to a hypnotist to get that out of my head.. Sheesh! Can you believe that.. Sisters!)
-
O i remeberd the funnyest thing ever even though it wasnt me. My friends little cousin thought that if he took his shirt off he would get stronger :P
I was at my friends house one time and my friend pissed him off so he warnd him he would remove his shirt and grow muscles, of course i was in the corner cracking up while my friend had a crazy 8 year old on him.
-
ROFL FF!
That reminds me of this kid me and me friends pissed off, he said that his dad can shoot lasers from his bellybutton.
