When I was a kid, I used to believe that....

...if I ate sweet-n-low that I would turn into a werewolf. My grandma told me that to keep me from eating it and I believed her for a very long time.

....that blood was actually blue inside the body but when it was exposed to oxygen a chemical reaction occurred and turned it red. I think I still believed that in Jr. High.

What about you?

I used to believe that women wanted a nice guy. But what they really want is an asshole who treats them like shit.

I also use to believe that Santa Claus existed.

Well, Copy ... you've simply been meeting the wrong women. My question to you: why would you want a woman in your life who was so developmentally retarded?

There are PLENTY of GREAT women out there who want a man who will treat them well, and who will treat them well in return.

Find one of them.

Aye, I've been meeting wrong women too, doesn't stop me from keeping on looking.

Aside from that, I used to believe almost every single thing I saw in movies, which once led me to suspect that my parents were robots sent to kill my future leader of the human resistance persona.

The sooner you give up that belief, the sooner you will attract better women into your life.

I believed there was only one DJ on the radio and that they changed their voice constantly.

and if you saw someone nude in a dream, that was how they REALLY looked.

and I could see in the dark.

and Ace Frehley and I could be buds.

I used to believe that my mother really did have eyes in the back of her head. They just went away when I was looking.

My cousin convinced me that the hoverboards in Back to the Future Part II were real. The reason they weren't for sale is cause some kid killed himself on them, and his mom protested and got them banned. Friggin' bastard, ruined it for all of us kids...

I know, I know....

Oh and according to my parents I used to call He-Man- Pee-Man and Castle GraySkull was Castle Graveskull....I refused to conform, dammit!

... brown cows gave chocolate milk.

... cows were girls and horses were boys and they got married.

... if a dragonfly landed on you, it would somehow sew your eyelids shut.

I also told my sister on her first visit to the eye doctor (I had already been) that the doctor was going to stick a needle in her eye.

This sounds like a fantastic story waiting to happen, Poxy.

Ditto on the brown cows, Pox.

I also somehow managed to refer to "helicopters" as "aptacripters." Boggles the mind.

I heard the EXACT same thing, word for word. They were scheduled to be released in 1990. Stupid urban legends....

I asked my mother how Santa was able to seliver our gifts since we never had a chimney. She explained that he was able to shrink himself and slip under a crack in our front door.

My grandmother is deathly afraid of lizards, and is still convinced that if one bites your ear lobe, your skin will turn yellow and it'll stay hanging there forever.

I used to believe if I swallowed any kind of seed - watermelon, apple, whatever - a tree might start to grow inside me and kill me.

Of course, the classic "don't swallow bubble gum or it'll stay in your stomach for 7 years" was etched in stone as a kid.

I know there were more, I'll try to un-block my childhood traumas...

...that love is all around...

That's about it. I always knew I was special. And cool. And capable of great good or tremendous evil.

And those I know are true...

I used to believe that I was a fairy.

No, really. Because I saw a yellow butterfly everywhere I went.

I was an odd kid.

...That I could fly if I jump hard enough.
...That dreams were another demintion and sometimes they slipped through. (Still use this for some of my stories. Dreams are so powerful...)
...A crocodile lived in the sewers under our house.
...The fog kills
...C.H.U.D. creatures really existed.
...Vampires really existed. Once after watching a vampire movie I climed up in a tree and prayed that I would become immortal.
...Aliens would come up out of my bath water and take me. (Never took a bath after that.)
...Jason was just behind the shower curtain.
...Bloody Mary really existed.
...Werewolves were real. I swear it!
...There were worms living in my mattress.
...I swear there was a monster in my closet.
...My bed sheet was a forcefield against monsters when pulled over my head.
...A monster lived under my bed and would drag me under if I didn't switch off the lights and get off the floor as quickly as possible.
...Trees were alive and the big ones ate kids. That's why they got so big. The knot holes were mouths.

...that the right tread on the bottom of sneakers would make me run faster. I was particularly fond of Zips! brand shoes. I used to select my shoes based on what the bottom looked like and how much traction I felt jogging around in the store.

I used to believe that if I put a tea-towel over my toys and wished really hard, they'd come to life.

And I also thought that if I copied Luke's poses from the Dagobah section of Marvel's Empire Strikes Back comic, that I'd be a Jedi too. I spent hours trying to summon my torch with the Force.

Almost managed it once, I swear.

Ohh my god, I swear I did that once too. I also thought I could put suggestions into people. The best was when there was a live broacast on TV, I would try my powers of suggestion.
