What crazy things did you believe as a little kid?

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Life was fun in the earliest years, wasn't it? We hadn't developed a firm grip on reality yet, and it could thus be made to conform with our imaginations. So I'll go first:jointsmile:

- When I was 3 me and my friend believed in "the dungeon". That is, we believed that if you dug deep enough into the Earth, at any place, you would eventually reach "the dungeon". Which would of course entail the cliche dark lair of stone, chains, bars and the such.

- I had no idea men shaved. Rather, I thought some just grew beards and some didn't. Some guys grew mustaches, some goatee's, some nothing at all.

- When my friends and I were discussing how babies were made, we came to the following conclusion based on a distorted organization of the facts: A woman and a man get married, they both agree they want to have a baby, and so she gets pregnant. Then when it's time to give birth, the woman goes to the hospital where the doctor puts his penis in her, thus inducing labour. LOL, ah innocence.

- For some reason I thought Canada had conscription. And so my plan was, when the military recruiter came to my house and said I had to go to war, I would say "alright, just let me get my gun" (to take to war). Then I'd come out with it, shoot the recruiter, and with the recruiter dead I'd be free from having to serve.

I really thought that you could dig to China. Kinda like your Dungeon thing.

[geonagual]

I thought the world was gonna end in the year 2000..also, I never let my covers hang over the edge of the bed in fear of something under the bed grabbing them

i had that same fear except with hands and feet:thumbsup:
I used to think that people who died in movies were actors that were suicidal and they acctually had to die to film the movie:wtf:

[Kenn]

Ha ha , my parents are to blame for this belief..I believed that if u played with your belly button ur ass would fall off...lol..Now thinking back what was their problem with me playin with my belly button.......wierd.:wtf:

[birdgirl73]

I thought there were probably monsters under my bed and, if not there, in my closet or in the bathroom shower.

I thought that if two people kissed, it meant they were married. That seemed obvious to me from "You may kiss the bride" at weddings. Consequently I didn't think I'd ever get married because I was too shy to be kissed in public.

I thought Santa Claus was scary. Had to go get my parents or big sister up to go with me into the living room on Christmas morning in case he might still be there, and I refused to sit in his lap for pictures in photography studios. Seriously, what self-respecting kid wants to get close to a big, fat, hairy, red-faced, white-bearded stranger and smile for a picture?

I thought a jet engine in an airplane was the same thing as a rocket engine, so when our family traveled by plane, I was always sure we'd shoot straight up in the air like NASA spacecraft did and braced myself hard against the back of the seat.

I thought nuclear war was an imminent danger. There was so much talk about the nuclear arms race and the Cold War when I was a little kid in the mid and late 60s.

[4osiris]

I really believed as a child that there was a such thing as Mary Weatherbee(a ghost).

[420_24/7]

I thought there were probably monsters under my bed and, if not there, in my closet or in the bathroom shower.

i was kinda messed up as a kid, i wasn afraid of monsters under my bed, i was afraid of psychopaths and murderers:wtf:

[ScaryMissMary]

Around the time 'Home Alone' came out, I made a "burglar alarm" it made a mess out of the hallway and den. I was so pissed off when my mom made me clean it all up. I actually believed shit like that would work.

I really believed that my dolls and toys came to life at night, I would sneak in my room and turn on the light and scream "CAUGHT YOU!" expecting to see my toys scrambling back to their places.

[ificouldiwould]

if you beat your meat youwould go blind

[Weedhound]

I believed we elected our president. What an IDIOT I was.....

[krazy chino]

i believed that if didnt go to church tuesdays wednesdays fridays and sundays i would go to hell.......damn religion

[Cannabis-Sativa]

yeah i though that the world was going to end in the year 200 also

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Oh also, I had a friend that believe when he was younger that the Earth might spin off it's axis. He would wake up in the middle of the night crying from nightmares about it.... weired, but little kids are :wtf:

[geonagual]

Oh yeah..I believed if they let Charles Manson out of jail he would come and kill me

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

My little brother, who has Aspergers Syndrome, believed he was a different species than other people because he felt different and actually related to animals better. He said his species was the "Paddy" (his name's Patrick, we call him Paddy) and thought there were other Paddy's out there, somewhere.

[Weedhound]

Ha ha , my parents are to blame for this belief..I believed that if u played with your belly button ur ass would fall off...lol..Now thinking back what was their problem with me playin with my belly button.......wierd.:wtf:

Kenn....dare I ask about your ass? Intact? :D

[joebob13]

Ha! Would you believe that I used to believe that Cannabis was a dangerous drug? I used to think it was bad and would ruin my life...

[DreadConches]

I used to believe that there were monsters and that toys came to life. When I was little me and my cousin seriously believed we saw something at his house move. I was especially scared of porcelain dolls. For this reason I almost always slept with the covers over my head.

[smoke_and_fly]

i thought my sisters dolls stole my things when i was asleep and returned them
i thought the tooth fairy was gonna punch me in the mouth and steal my teeth
i thought that dinosaurs where a indangered species
and i was always wondering when i was little what would happen if i dug a hole from one side of the earth to the other what would happen if i jumped in
like would i stop in between or would i just keep going just keep falling
lol
peace

[Kenn]

Kenn....dare I ask about your ass? Intact? :D...lol yes mate my ass is intact..lol

[clock]

I believed a plastic bag made a suitable parachute and there was a bunker under the towns trash dump

those two are the only things I think were crazy

[Mr. Glover]

When i was young the jason movies was huge. So if it was dark out, i wouldn't go outside or no where around water. I used to believe jason came from the lake down the road from my house. Who as kids always thought when you walked past a grave someone was going to reach out the grave & grab your leg?

[TryptamineScape]

haha, dude...Jason really does live in the swamp man...you know we done seen some crazy shit there...

I used to believe that if I slept with my wrists turned up a vampire would come get me...

also I used to believe I was dying of cancer, but that was right after my dad died of cancer...so...

[Jah420]

I actually have a memory of believing that magic is possible.. very long time ago :smokin:

peace 420

[crudemood]

i used to believe if you were to push those buttons on soda lids the police would come after you.
i also used to be deathly afraid of Thomas the Train for some reason. A train with a face? Cmon.
I also believed that if you showered right after you ate it would give you a stomache ache, I can thank my parents for that one. -.-

[TryptamineScape]

i also used to be deathly afraid of Thomas the Train for some reason. A train with a face? Cmon.


Steven King made me fear that just recently...if you haven't, red the wastelands...it's one of the dark tower series...that'll definitely make you remember why you were afraid of trains with faces...

[el_fantistico]

Okay... this is a bit gross. But when I was a kid (like 3 - 5 years) I started to notice that no matter what colour of food I ate, it all came out brown. I came up with a theory that was a factory just on the inside of my bum that processed, packaged and "brown bagged" my terd before letting it fly it into the toilet. Yeah... I'm fucked!

El Fantistico :smokin:

[420MissHighTimes420]

this is so odd and idk how my mind came up with this, its not like someone told me this either. idk how old i was but i must have been really young because i can remeber thinking that wen i ate there were little m&m's in my throat that would pull this lever that would open this metal trap door type thing that would let all the food go to my stomach. i was even crazier back then. ahaha

[Number 1 DJ]

dam this thread brings back a lot of memorys of the "stupid days"

[Number 1 DJ]

used to think people on tv could see you for a while when i was real young

[make it legal]

I always thought at night that there was someone sitting outside the window with a gun waiting for me to fall asleep so he could shoot me. I would actually look out my window to make sure.

I also thought weed was bad for you.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Oh damn, I forgot one of the best ones! Hence I'm resurrecting the thread.


At a very young age I actually believe that only black men were allowed to play in the NBA. I didn't find this discriminatory either, as I had no concept of racism, I just thought it was a biological fact that white men can't jump lol.:D

[MadSativa]

I used to think I lived in the most free place on earth, and that all people were great............................................. .......What a thing to think but I was only a little Sativa and not even MAD yet.

[DaZeDShAdOw]

i used to think when i was little that the teachers lived in the schools lmao!

[cm8883]

I used to think that the only time people had sex was to get pregnant.

[EbelEyes]

Christianity.

[SpadeOfSrh]

i thought that if i went downstairs to late or got out of my bed i would be attacked by someone

[StickyfingahZ]

when I was 8 We had our old christmas tree in the backyard and I lit it on fire thinking if it gets too big I would just pee on it....Man,that thing lit up quick and I yanked my pants down to pee and I was all scared my older brother caught me dancing around the fire with my pants down,I couldnt squeeze out a drop and it was really terrifying man.......Even to this day I get teased about it as being some horny pyromaniac who was trying to get his rocks off to a rageing fire.

[GreenLadyOfDankDowns]

I believed that dogs and cats were the same species. Cats were girls, and dogs were the boys. I have no idea where that idea came from.

[TryptamineScape]

lol that's an awesome belief...

[Nightstar]

Tooth fairy, Santa, Easter bunny, Thinking I could fly if a put a fence board across my bike.. Damn ET...

[Staurm]

I used to believe that smoking marihuana was bad for you.

[Innominate]

Santa Claus always seemed hallow, but I enjoyed the reaction of my parents.

I had a paranoid fear of ghosts.

I also came to believe this world was of peace and fairness. We were played as fools.

[Ganja Dude]

I used to believe my dads weed stash was "cigar papers" (what he told me hah) and that the smell was the cats. Yeah right, haha.

[Metaphor]

i used to believe there was a monster that lived in the closet of the guestroom in my grandparents summer home, then when i realized monsters didnt exist i thought it was a psychopath killer

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

I believed that dogs and cats were the same species. Cats were girls, and dogs were the boys. I have no idea where that idea came from.

I really like this one, it's somehow cute:D


My friends and I used to debate over what made superman fly. I insisted it was just powers, but they insisted it was his cape that made him fly. Then one of them put on a cape a few days later and rollerbladed off his garage roof, thinking he'd soar into the sky I suppose. Broke his ankle good.

[logie_boy]

you know how when you get fuel on a wet road you see rainbow colors running through it, my dad used to tell me when i was younger that they were dead rainbows, lol

[youngturk3389]

When my cousin was about 3 or 4 years old, I was about 8. He lived in the same town as me, so he was always over at my house. We had a huge attic fan that blew air into the second story.... made a lot of noise..... one day me and my friend started to take my cousin upstairs to the attic, while he was walking up the stairs I turned the fan on. He asked what the noise was, we told him it was the "fan man" and if he came too close to it he would eat him and spit him out downstairs. My cousin ran out of the house and down the street... and he actually still believed that story for a while....
