Let's cut some slack here kinkroids, because this is after all...casual banter. We can discuss the mating habits of the TziTziFly, or why animals aren't gay. Not to mention how some men feel that to own say a hot sports car makes their cock 2" longer. (Z06 vette 3") So I mention it anyway.

However, my older brother actually had me believing (at about 4 or so) that certain bridges were held up by sky hooks. Oh...they were invisible too.

People in heaven were bowling? hahaha
I was told and believed it, God was angry, when it thundered, it worked for mom. I was usually being quite the demon.

I also would lay with my bestfriend under the stars on a clear night, we would stare at the stars for hours, talking about what we saw, she would turn to me and say "Do you feel that?" I said "Yes I do" then we would be spooked out and run in the house.

Sky hooks, Mr. Rodgers? Now, THAT'S creative. I love it.

I've been reading this thread from the git go wracking my brain for a contribution and it finally hit me.

For a couple of years, from maybe 5 - 7, I was sure there was a boogey man under my bed. It truly felt like it. I remember doing my level best to keep as much distance between my feet and the bed as possible, i.e., jumping off and jumping into, and NEVER letting my feet hang over the bed.

I used to think older folks had experience, so I listened. Biggest mistake anyone can make.



LittleGirlHeart -> RE: Most embarassing things you used to believe? (7/11/2013 2:51:00 PM)

I always thought there was something under the bed waiting to grab me too. I'd run from the door way into the room an launch myself into the middle of the bed and quickly curl up away from all 3 sides.

Ironically though, i never feared being grabbed getting out of bed, just getting in.

When I was very young (four, five or six-ish) I believed that dogs were the male of the species and cats were the female. That haunts me to this day, considering my mild, non-professional success with animal husbandry.



Peace and comfort,



Michael


I believed the same thing at about that age. And when I went to college, I majored in animal husbandry until the caught me at it one day.

For the longest time (so basically, until ~3 years ago), I used to believe that a baby shower was literally a baby's first shower. I thought it was some sort of a quasi-Jewish tradition. I always wondered how they kept the baby from drowning... [8|]

Imagine my dismay when someone finally told me what it actually was! There is no actual baby involved - if anything, it should be called "giant belly giftapalooza."

(In my defense, I'm not from around here hahaha)



Duskypearls -> RE: Most embarassing things you used to believe? (7/12/2013 5:02:02 AM)

Giant belly giftapalooza. Good one.

This has got to be one of the most common ones! I thought this too. Kids minds are so imaginative and creative. Mine always had green eyes! and of course HUGE TEETH.



Duskypearls -> RE: Most embarassing things you used to believe? (7/12/2013 6:29:58 AM)

Imaginative and creative, you say? Perhaps, perhaps not, but I like the idea that yours had green eyes. Did they glow in the dark?

Now that I've had decades of experience with some of the different "energetic no-so-nice-or-cutie critters," that abound, I am not at all sure there wasn't some "thing" actually under my bed. Others sometime sense them in closets, mirrors...

Yes of course, if I would have looked, they were enormous and glowed in the dark!! He got bigger and scarier, if I peeked to watch a scarey movie my older siblings were watching. When I say he ALWAYS had green eyes, that's when he was there, sometimes it was just a sense of something being under there. So jumping into bed became a big habit, like launching across the room habit.[:D]

Did you ever sense someone behind you traveling up steps?



MalcolmNathaniel -> RE: Most embarassing things you used to believe? (7/12/2013 12:04:10 PM)

-FR-

My mom told me that there was a dragon who lived under the cellar steps.

I also believed that if you removed the liquid from everything it would become a powder; I actually know where that belief came from: The 1966 film called, "BATMAN! The Movie"

But the dragon under the cellar steps was the more immediate threat.

No, but I'm guessing you have. Care to share? If so, maybe start a new thread?

Yes, I was very curious if you had that sense and experience too. Nothing to it really other then when climbing the basement stairs at my childhood home, I could never walk them I had to run, because of the overwhelming feeling, kinda like the story told of the dragon in the cellar told.
My sister owns that same home still, and still have it to this day, if I go there! Its happened before in other ways, but minds are very creative and imaginative. I don't think it merits a new thread, unless you want to start one. Its very fastinating when people tell stories of borderline mysterical that have happened to them. Most people however, in fear of looking like fools, keep them to theirselves or just tell a close friend.

I on the otherhand, can make a fool of myself without care. LOL.

I used to believe in the innate goodness of humanity.



Zonie63 -> RE: Most embarassing things you used to believe? (7/13/2013 8:53:52 AM)

I remember watching old movies and TV shows with my brother as a kid, noting that they were all in black-and-white. We surmised that the reason for this was because the world was in black-and-white back then.




ShaharThorne -> RE: Most embarassing things you used to believe? (7/13/2013 9:35:56 AM)

When I was 14, I watch a documentary about the Zodiac killer. Was scared to go outside after dark for weeks.

Now, reading "IT" has me a bit wary about clowns...



Duskypearls -> RE: Most embarassing things you used to believe? (7/13/2013 10:19:20 AM)

Good one, Zonie, that's actually cute. You should hear me going, "Awwww..."

I've been nurturing a hypothesis for some years now that Stephen King wrote a demon clown story because he hates the McDonald's corporation. Not even Ronald McDonald looked harmless after that book came out.



HarryVanWinkle -> RE: Most embarassing things you used to believe? (7/16/2013 7:05:10 PM)

Among my oldest memories, from about 3 years old, is of believing that African-Americans were ghosts. I lived in a very white community and had a very bigoted uncle. You can probably guess what his favorite word for them was.
