Ash Wednesday Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 My brother used to think those signs that said "Do not drive on the shoulder" meant that, literally, the driver of the car wasn't supposed to use their shoulder to maneuver the steering wheel.

goldbug16 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I fooled my brothers and sisters into thinking that pygmies were 3 feet high, lived in trees, and ate nothing but peaches. They believed it for the longest time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groo the Wanderer Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I used to think it awfully weird how many cities had streets near the highway named 'Frontage Road'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totus Tuus Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I always wondered if I were really just dreaming and would wake up from my life one day. That makes it sound like I had a really bad life that I would want to escape, but I had a really happy childhood. I think my fear was really that I would wake up and my waking life wouldn't be as good as my really looong dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissScripture Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I used to believe that the dogwood seeds that fell in the lake were fish eyes (because when they get wet, they're black...and look like they could be fish eyes...and my brothers said so. Who was I to not believe my big brothers??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggyjoan Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 [quote name='Rod' post='1297903' date='Jun 18 2007, 05:28 PM']I used to believe that if I closed my eyes I was invisible .... because I could not see anyone, how could they see me????[/quote] haha i still do that, especially when i'm in trouble. i usually get at lot of disgusted 'WHAT are you doing?' [quote name='Brigid' post='1297928' date='Jun 18 2007, 06:21 PM']I decided that the way Santa got around the world in one night was the time zones... I mean, how could it work any other way? At one point, I thought our lives could be like musicals, where the main characters are singing thier songs and everyone around them is walking around and saying hi like nothing's happening... so I walked around the playground and sang. I think everyone ignored me, which only proved my thoughts. um... If I think of any more, I'll put them here. [/quote] um, NO, he used MAGIC. DUH.

Brigid Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I always thought that the signs on the road that say "DIP" meant "Drive In Peace"... it kinda blew my mind when I found out that they actually meant "dip". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there have been times I'd wonder if my life was a nightmare I'd wake up from... not all the time, as I think my life has been really good -- but it HAS happened. Perhaps in part because I have had scary dreams and woken up feeling relieved upon realizing that it was a dream. We also had a sadistic babysitter. He hid my brother's blankie and told him he flushed it down the toilet. Later on my brothers tried to play the same trick on me. They told me I'd have to go down underground and talk to the "sewer man" to get it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaeology cat Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Well, my uncle had me convinced that he saw Rudolph one Christmas. Didn't help that my dad would ring jingle bells outside my window on Christmas Eve as I was going to bed. . . And for some reason my mom had this stuffed bobcat (it was a present, but who really gives someone a dead bobcat?) Anyway, I believed that it would come to life when you left the room, so my cousin and I used a toy periscope to see if it really did come to life.

[/quote] I was a believe, until my parents made me take down the gifts from their room, to put under the tree for my borthers and sisters! And when my little brother got his first job, i convinced him that there was a big brother tax, and that he had to give me money, my parents caught on quick, and I got in big trouble for it, still cant sit straight in a chair...lol Edited June 19, 2007 by IrishSalesian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and remember Old Heffalump and the house in the woods? And the "treasure cave" in the woods? We had the boys completely fooled... I never believed anything unless my Mom corroborated it.

Groo the Wanderer Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Used to think I could try to dig a hole to China. Then I found out about the earth's core, so I set about trying to figure out how to keep the shovel from melting until I got through it. Used to eat clover flowers.
