When I was young I thought...

Finish that sentence with silly things you thought/believed when you were younger.


When I was young I thought Rumpelstiltskin (I was terrified of him, still creeps me out a bit if I'm honest) was under my bed so I would take a long run and jump on the bed so he couldn't grab my ankles. :bawling:

When I was young I thought those little alien toys in the egg shaped container were real

When I was young I thought.....

If you swallowed chewing gum it would wrap round your heart.
If you swallowed an apple pip a tree would grow in your tummy.

Also I thought there was a monster who lived in the canal called Jimmy Green Teeth

One of these bastards were gonna come out of my wardrobe and get me

When I was young I thought that if you put something in a fax machine, it would send it to the end location, so I thought you could put like a flower into a fax machine and it would be teleported over to somewhere else. I used to slide down the sofa at home on my stomach from the back down to the floor and declare "I'm a fax!" and my parents had no idea what I was talking about until like last year when it came up in conversation and I explained :joker:. I basically invented 3D printing 20 years before it existed :idc:

lol.. I'm a fax... you weird child.. I love it!

I used to think people lived in the hi-fi. My mum and dad owned this big hi-fi stereo system, and when they played records on it, I thought the people were inside it singing.

I also used to run past the big mirror in the hall to see if I could beat my reflection.

That these... http://www.stuartvallantine.co.uk/im...icBusVolvo.jpg

could fly, that is why they were called the Magic Bus :joker:

:joker: My parents were in hysterics when I solved the mystery, it was only last year when I was in my dad's office one day for some reason (I think I was picking my brother up from work and we swung in past to see my dad) and he was away through to their printer/fax/scanner machine so I went through with him and mentioned that I used to think faxes sent the bit of paper to the other end like teleportation and he was like OMG!!!!! and called my mum :laugh3:

i thought teacher slept in the school

If they do then they are usually arrested afterwards

yep
i saw early at schhol and thought they did

Seriously??! I had exactly the same fear!

I thought that Cartoon Network shows were real.

I thought that mincemeat (and therefore mince pies) was literally just minced... meat... so I was a bit alarmed that everyone ate them with cream and stuff. Never tried them until I was about 16.

I too thought a tree would grow in my tummy if I swallowed a apple pip lol :joker:

I got chicken pox when I was 5/6, and it was the day after I'd eaten some chicken soup.

I didn't eat chicken soup again until I was 15/16.

ha ha ha glad theres some weird and wonderful ones on here. When I was young someone told me that is you squashed a crisp up to as small as you could it would turn to soup. I regularly crunched up crisps to see if they would turn to soup.

When I was young I thought the word "Arsenal" was a swear word and would replace it with the word "Bumnal" until I was like 11. :bawling: My family used to have a great laugh about it.

:laugh:

.....that the man in the moon was real, I'd look for him, and that if you ate your crusts you'd have curly hair (I wanted curly hair for some reason) and I also thought that if you dug down far enough you could tunnel through to Australia.

Me too..and that eating carrots would help you see in the dark.
I actually used to talk to the man in the mon :blush:

Chewing gum takes 7 years to digest if you swallow it
Fax machines teleport the actual document
The Simpsons is satanic (still watched it though)

I thought that chewing gum wrapped round your heart
Eating crusts would make your hair curly
Babies came out your bum
Mr Spooky lived at the top of the garden and waited for kids who were out after dark

when i was young. i thought the queen ruled england. i was very surprised and annoyed she didn't i still think its stupid

You're right! let's start a campaign, "Her Maj. Rulz, OK"

When I was young I thought that the Grim Reaper was standing over my Bed every night waiting to kill me.

When I was young I thought a rainbow was God having a slash.

I thought the weather people decided where the weather went, so I always used to hate the woman on GMTV for giving us rain and london sun

..when I was young, I thought that if you had a grumpy face and the wind changed it's direction, your face would stay like that...I thought that Pinocchio was real and had turned into a boy and that leprechauns lived under my floorboards...

I used to think steven hawking was so smart, he made that machine to talk for him, i didn't realise he had some disease

I used to think that thunder was God moving his furniture around,well that's what I was told.

Same :joker:
