I used to think Helter Skelter was a treehouse or club or something. Wtf was I (as a 5-10yr old) smoking?
 
I remembered another stupid one. :D When me and friends were playing underneath the balcony in the dark, I held up a piece of metal or something and noticed it reflecting the light. I went home and bragged to my mom, I had discovered a flashlight that didn't require any batteries. :ouch:

Also, not everybody will get this one(at least, not in the U.S.). I used to believe that Japanese express trains(Kyuko) actually ran faster than other trains. They actually just skip smaller stations, to run quicker.

Hahahahaha!



I believed in the tooth fairy for far too long if I can remember correctly - I categorically denied the existence of Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, etc., but I was damn sure that the tooth fairy was real.

I also really believed that my dad was pulling potatoes out of my ears.
 
You know when a piece of broken glass gets stuck in the ocean for a long time, it eventually becomes really smooth? When I was little, I found such a piece – it was green glass, but I thought it was a translucent green rock, which got me all excited. I even brought it in for show-and-tell in kindergarten.
 
I used to believe :

-eating spinich actually made you stronger.....damn popeye
-when it rained while the sun was out, that a witch was getting married.
-at the beach you go into the surf turn around and close your eyes, a mermaid will take you away.
-the bogeyman existed, thanks to my aunt and an episode of ghostbusters.

That's funny :) I needed cheering up...

I used to support a basketball team in Edinburgh, Scotland called 'Murray International Metals'... I was a member of their supporters club, and they had monthly meetings, where alot of the players used to turn up... my hero was a guy called Sam Foggin (who is apparently now a scout for the Orlando Magic!).. he was 6'9 and I (quite literally) looked up to him as a legend of the game... (if I get the chance, I will scan the photo of an 10-year old me standing next to him!)... I asked the dumbest question it is possible to ask a professional basketball player... "How did you get to be so tall?" As we were standing next to the table with the coffee and biscuits, he turned round, picked up a coconut ring biscuit, and said "I eat alot of these!"... being an extremely gullible child, I badgered my mum to buy coconut rings (despite the fact I hated coconut) and proceeded to eat these biscuits for months...

Believe this or not, but I only stopped because I went to high school where I stopped playing basketball... I didn't actually figure out that he was only joking... I must have eaten a hundred packs of those damn biscuits... the really irony is that if anything, eating all those biscuits and eating less regular food, probably stunted my growth rather than make me tall.. my dad is 6'2 and yet I am a mere 5'10... Foggin you b*stard! I'm going to sue your ass.... :ouch: (only joking, you are still a legend...)

I believed that the past was all in black and white because all the movies and TV footage and photographs of the past were in black and white.

I kinda used to think that too, and when you see people dressing up in old things on tv in colour, it looks really fake. Don't know why ..


I used to believe in santa, or father christmas as he's called over here. I used to believe that he didn't make toys in his factory, but that he went along to the local toy store and got the stuff there. Afterall, half the toys i got said either "made in china", or "made in taiwan". When it did dawn on me that other people thought he made them himself, i thought i'd try and ask for something that i wanted, but i knew didn't exist. I didn't get it ...:dunce:


I never believed in the easter bunny for some reason

I used to believe in the tooth fairy.

I used to believe that if you jumped just before an elevator landed on the ground, that you would survive :dopey:

I also used to believe that Toshiba Laptops were reliable :ouch::ouch::ouch::ouch::ouch::banghead::banghead:
 
I use to think that the sllimy things, coming out of your tear-glands (while you're a sleep) was nothing more than mucus from you're nose!! :yuck: (when you have a cold)
 
I used to believe Americans(white people in general) were all tall.

Oh boy, i got few things that i believed when i was little and still i refer to them if those things are true. When i was little and when it would rain my dad would always tell me never to point at the rainbow because you will grow a wart on ur finger. I always thought where ever the ends of the rainbow would be touching the floor there would be a pot of gold. LoL...
Another thing im not sure whichis true or if any of you have heard this but my dad would always tell me not to play w/ fire because at night u woulld wet the bed. :nervous:

While growing up in Japan, I used to think 70's T-Birds, Camaros, Firebirds, Jeeps were super exotics. :drool: Around same time, I used to think my friend's mom's 70's Skyline GT-R was kinda crappy car. :lol:
