Surely I'm not the only one who grew up with a slightly warped sense of reality. So I'll share my biggest strange belief as a kid, if you'll share some of yours.
For the longest time, I had this weird belief that north was up and south was down. I lived in Missouri at the time, so this meant that Iowa was above the clouds, and Arkansas was below the ground. Oddly enough, it seemed a bit fitting, especially with "Field of Dreams" and the "Is this heaven? No, it's Iowa" thing.
One day, I realized that this whole idea made no sense. Because if the sun came up in the east and went down in the west, but north was up and south was down, there were two other directions that I couldn't account for. (It also made driving to other states make a whole lot more sense, since I couldn't figure out how cars could go into the clouds...)
So let's hear yours! Or, if you can't remember any from your own childhood, you can talk about some that your kids have! :)

Remember when Kisses really made the booboos go away.
And when I really thought people could remove part of their thumbs.

into an old person and fall apart..lol..took awhile, but i musta seen one!!!
also spent YEARS looking for the dang FORK in the ROAD..never saw one, a SPOON, once......didn't hear you were to "turn" at the spoon,tho.........:)
I was just a strange kid in general lol, but some off the top of my head:
I don't know what kind of tree this is, but where I grew up we had these trees all over town that dropped these small, bright yellow.... seeds maybe.. they would fall mostly all at once and the ground/sidewalk all around the tree would be one big, yellow patch on the ground.
Well... for whatever reason... I believed that if I walked on these yellow seed covered area's that my feet would become stuck to that spot.. forever! LOL
I also believed in "Bloody Mary".
I also believed that when you saw rays of light shinning down from the sky (from clouds etc) that it meant God was talking to someone there.
And... I went through this stage where I believed I was actually in a coma and my life as I was living it was nothing more than a dream hahahahha.
wacky. You asked.

A Scandalous Overture
When I was little, like, four years old, I honestly believed that Willard Scott lived underneath my grandparents' sink. Uhm...why? I have no idea. I don't know where the concept originated, but I quite honestly thought it was true. Nobody jokingly said it to me, or anything. I totally arrived at that conclusion on my own.
(Bear in mind, when you're that young, people on TV really ARE supposedly that small.)
