I came from a good family

There was an inexpensive candy called a black ball. 3 for a penny. They were also called jaw breakers. If you let them melt in your mouth they'd last and last because there were many layers of candy. Well, my older sister told me if I wanted those candies without having to pay for them then I should plant the seed that was in the center of the diminished black ball. So I did... hey, I was like 4 yrs old.

That if I love them they will accept me without broke me

when i was little i had these paper masks that you tied on with a string or ribbon. they were disney cartoons like mickey mouse's face or snow white face, etc. and i remember wearing a mask and going to the side of the road waving at cars going by like i was in disneyland. i believed i looked like that character to the cars going by and thats why they waved back.

My aunt told me the power windows in her car used brake fluid so if I used the windows too much the car couldn’t stop. 🤣 my mom would always point out an older man at the grocery store telling me he’s the bogeyman if I didn’t behave he would get me. Scared the heck out of me. 🤣

That the majority of Americans believed in equality and justice.

Heaven was the clouds

Whatever you do, never ever swallow a watermelon seed!

I believed that the apartment on top of our local funeral home when people passed away that's where they went to and I believed that funeral home apartment was Heaven and that Jesus was up there too.

The cops would pull us over if the car's interior light was on at night.

That a 2000 year old carpenter was a magical deity.

My mother use to threaten me with the idea that the crabs in the neighboring old lady's underpants would get me if I misbehaved

Ironically, she wasn't that far off

Couldnt get pregnant the first time lol

Inanimate objects were alive

people became stars after they die

That if your horrible older brother karate chopped you often enough in the forehead, it would burst all the blood vessels in your head and blood would collect on top of your cheek bones giving you a massive set of panda eyes for the rest of your life. One, two, three, four....

"Muuuuuuummmmmm!!!!!!!!!"

Luckily we grew up! 😂

Santa Claus. 🎁

Jesus is real, followed closely by the concept of marriage being valid.

Both of which have proven themselves to be false.

Bloody Mary

that this was safe sex
Just kidding
that centaurs were/are real

That those with smaller eyes (like Asians) could only see a smaller segment of the world around (I was 5)

That it's possible to accidentally swallow a needle. Like you're holding it one second and suddenly it somehow gets into your mouth and you're at a risk of swallowing it. 😆 For real, there was some period of my life when I was anxious about handling needles.

not really a belief, but i used to imagine there were like gods and angels walking on the clouds where i couldnt see

I thought if you didn't go to sleep after you said your bed time prayers that God would be mad at you.

That monsters and mythical beings were real but lived on like another dimensional plane so ordinary people couldn't see or interact with them, similar to ghosts.

I believed that from 8-13.
