Things You Used To Believe

When you were a kid, what kind of funny stuff did you believe in?

Here's the stuff, I used to believe for example:

If I worked on it, I could obtain the power of super heroes.

Ghosts and monsters really existed and were out to get me.

My parents were really, really poor(they had me on that one

).

I wasn't my parent's real kid. My mom found me under some bridge(I fell for this as well

)

I was going to be a Pro Baseball player someday.

You could shift the manual trans. without the clutch.

That's all I can remember right now.

I believed that...

My Dad found me in his beer,

Eating Bread crusts made your hair curly,

Lightning and Thunder was god moving his furniture (i'm not religious)...

Thats it for now

Only thing I can think of is...

If you had black hair your significant other had to have black hair also (an so on for the other colors). It wasn't a racist thing though.

That I was actually smart. (Then I went off to college and found out otherwise.)

...that I knew Jesus personally....
...that everybody hated me...
...everybody was perfect and I wasn't... (still have that feeling from time to time) hehe...
...I had paranormal powers...
...etc, etc...

Don't make fun of me, or I'll have that 3rd feeling again :dunce:

You can. I did on many occasions when I had no clutch anymore (clutch broke down I use to drive a big bus). The only problem, if you have to stop, you need to "kill" the engine, put in second gear and start again (without a clutch). The car will jolt forwards and you're off. If the car (or bus) battery isn't strong enough you won't be able to do this.

In the late '70s, when microwave ovens got more affordable, my mom bought one and told me, "If you put the wrong thing in it, it will blow up the entire house." She just wanted us to leave it alone, of course.

I now know better, but I still feel like microwaves are black boxes of evil magic cooking powers. I tend not to use them if it's not necessary.

I use "Carpet Sharks" on my kids so they stay out of rooms I don't want them in. I often say, "Don't go in there! There's 'Carpet Sharks' in there!" Then, I go in there, and pretend they're snapping at my feet to show proof they're really in there. However, this wont work on the oldest boy anymore, and he's starting to educate the younger one.

A cute story, I kept finding popcorn or dry cereal in my bedroom, where the 'Carpet Sharks' often live. I asked my oldest boy one day, then about four, if he was eating in daddy's room. He said no, but, "I feeded the sharks so they wont eat you!"

I was brought by a stork, and my mum had to sign for me.

And power rangers were real.

What are you saying? :odd:

Danny · Jul 9, 2005

I'm just saying that they don't keep it real.

They're square, dude.

I believed dinosaur ghosts would get me when I turned my bedroom light off.

ash6660 · Jul 9, 2005

i used to believe that women never lied

911_Carrera · Jul 9, 2005

I used to believe that the Spice Girls were hot.

Like, last week.

Santa Clause, The Easter Bunny, The Toothfairy, etc...

That adults were perfect and didn't make mistakes. I think everyone believed that when they were little though. I remember when I figured out they weren't too. A friend of my moms couldn't remember my name and I was shocked. I was like seven years old.

kikie · Jul 9, 2005

I use to believe in Aliens, seeing this,

ls2_297 · Jul 9, 2005

that no matter what i did that my folks would always get me out of trouble... haha if only it where still true!!

LoudMusic · Jul 9, 2005

I used to believe that when it was raining where I was that it was raining over the whole world. Makes sense, right?

Guys, guys, guys. The Power Rangers is just a TV show. Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny are just stories. But the Tooth Fairy is real. You have teeth don't you? Proof.

I thought the first line in your sig was part of the post when I read it.

I knew Santa Clause was fake from day 1,and it was pretty sad,since my now 21 year old sister believed in him :lol:

.

I used to (and still do) think that if you jumped up in a falling elevator,when it hit the ground every bone in your body would break (which i think thats true...)

I always believed that if you jumped just as the falling elevator hit the floor then you'd just dust off your shoulders and walk out fine...i am probably wrong

I used to think accents were genetically inherited. WTF?

I also thought that an image Mr. Bean on our previous PC was a virus.

I always thought the opposite because,once you jump,aren't you falling just as fast as the elevator?So when your legs hit the ground,you will basically crush into little pieces.

It's like jumping off of a sheet of wood 10,000 feet in the air...Your legs will hit the ground instead of the wood absorbing most of the shock and will crush...

I think :odd:

FAMINE!!!! Your assitance is needed in aisle 13!

I used to think I was fast back when GT2 and 3 were all the rage.
Then I came here and ran into guys like Der Alta, Boombexus, Duke, Old Geezer (aka UB57), Mr P, Lotus 350...and the list goes on.

I used to believe that being married with kids meant you couldn't have a semi-cool to cool vehicle, unless you were rich. Now I have two!!

PS · Jul 9, 2005

I used to believe (I think when I was 4-6) that paramedics/surgeons could always bring you back to life.

I used to believe that all bad-guy's eye brows pointed down: o\/o or >

hehe...

kikie · Jul 9, 2005

I use to think I was the best race car driver ever, now I know better. :guilty:
