oh god okay
so when i was a little kid i was terrified of what was at the time my brother's room (which used to be my room was i was really little, and is now the guest room). i absolutely could not be in that room by myself, otherwise i would freak out. and there were things about that room that could make it seem creepy to a six year old, bc it's always been the darkest room in the house bc of the way it's set into the foundations, and when it was still my brother's room the walls were painted blue, making it seem even darker. but that's not why i was so scared of that room. you see, there was an outlet strip in the far corner of that room. you know how with some outlet strips, when they're turned on there's this little red light in the switch? yeah. i was scared of the red light.

I thought princesses and dragons lived at the SunSplash-GolfLand castle. I also thought the Polar Express had actors and was a true story. SPOILER FOR YOUR LIVES!
And I thought Santa was real.
I never thought Santa,The tooth fairy, or the Easter bunny was real at all.. XD All the kids said I was wrong...
Lol. And I never belived in the tooth fairy or the Easter bunny. They just didn't seem believable. A giant bunny that acts like a person and a fairy that likes teeth for some reson! Not real! But a fat guy with flying reindeer that delivers presents to everyone in 24 hours! Totally real. That was my world.

my older sister once convinced me and our two neighbor friends (who were the same age as me) that we were "Romani" and only we could see "spirits" and stuff like that, but she was lying about it the whole time
i also thought i was a fairy, and one time my sister convinced me i was a vampire and i cried

I thought that people in England rode horses and that everyone there owned a castle and had tea parties every night. I also thought that all fairytales took place in England and they all were real. So basically I thought only my country was modern and that everyone else was just really rich kings, queens, etc.

I thought in black and white pictures, the world was actually black and white. u know how michael jackson's skin was bleached or something? well I associated bleach with laundry so I thought he poured laundry detergent all over his face MJ had vitiligo, which is a disease that destroys the color of your skin. It might just be me being ignorant, but I thought vitiligo worked in 'patches'? Like, quite recently I got icecream and the lady who served me obviously had it (I wasn't rude enough to mention, but it piqued my interest)- she was mostly a tan sort of colour, as is normal in Italy, but she had white creeping up her arms and patchy under her eyes. MJ never seemed to have splats of white, he just sort of.. lightened a few shades, as far as I know.

I used to be so scared of the dark I couldn't even look into a dark room. I always called for my mum to turn a light switch on, because it required reaching inside of the room and I was deathly afraid of it.
Also, my brother convinced me that if you put a spoon in a microwave it created plasma (I believed this for years). But he was the one to, at 5 years of age, tell me that childbirth was painful and crushed my little toddler dreams of having 15 babies.
Weird thing that I believed when I was 8-ish is that dragons were real, and if you looked up in the trees sometimes they'd just be quietly slinking away.. no wonder I turned out to be such a big Harry Potter fan.

MJ never seemed to have splats of white, he just sort of.. lightened a few shades, as far as I know. He used makeup to cover up the patches. There are some pictures online that show him without makeup and you can see the little spots on him. There's this one picture of him talking on the phone and you can see it all over his arms.

Thanks to the iCarly episode where the gang go to Japan, I thought you HAD to get there by jumping out of a plane. I was devastated because I wanted to go there but I would be too scared to jump out of a plane.
I'm still scared of skydiving, but luckily the above is totally false.

i used to thing that traffic lights were operated by tiny mice? and they lived in the lights? like, every light was a city or something filled with tons of miniscule mice that lived like humans and that resulted in traffic lights going on and off in different colours somehow?

The only kinda dumb thing I thought was true as a kid was that there were 52 states. I soon found out there were only 50 and I was so confused, maybe that's why I ended up being terrible at Geography.

when i had to pick a color for my room i chose the color "hot pink kiss" thinking that it would make more people want to kiss me
my dad is disabled and he's convinced that people from social security or whatever it is hire private investigators to follow him and make sure he's "really disabled". like he's said that my entire life. so like little me would always write songs and stuff, yeah? and one song I wrote was like "if girls ruled the world" and then a song came out similar to that and i remember talking about it with my half sister on the phone like "THE PEOPLE THAT FOLLOW DAD SOLD MY SONG TO SOMEONE"
ummmm what else.. when i was at a friend's house they had a male dog who started humping my leg or whatever, and i was convinced that i was pregnant with dog-people and i cried
i thought (and still kinda think, hello delusions) that there's this werewolf type creature with red eyes that'll get me in the dark outside, like if i don't turn on the porch light and look before unlocking the doors, or if i close the door and turn the handle lock instead of the deadbolt it'll break in
stuff like that
