Funny things I believed as a child and a couple my son believed

Tweet

I found an article about hilarious things people thought when they were kids. I read through them and found myself thinking similar things when I was a kid. Kids are so imaginative. I laughed so hard reading through them. Here are a handful of things I thought as a kid: I thought there were little people in the radio that sang. I thought people and characters lived in the TV in their own little worlds and that if a person tried hard enough they could get sucked into the TV. I blame Roger Rabit for this one. I thought that serial killers lived in cereal boxes and jumped out and killed people and was terrified to eat cereal for a while. I thought Jack Frost marked windows to take children while they were sleeping (this was because my brother told me this). I thought monsters lived under beds and would grab me by the feet and pull me under I used to run and jump into the bed and duck down and hide under my covers because I also believed the vacant house across the street from us that just so happened to face my room was haunted and that the ghost could see me looking at night and would come get me and I believed the boogyman lived in my closet (also thanks to my brother) so nighttime was a blast. Here are a couple of things my son thought he, for the most part, was a much brighter kid than me: He thought the three little pigs was a true story and was terrified of wolves because he thought they'd blow down our house and freaked out when I made him see them at the zoo in a cage because he thought they'd blow through the glass. I still laugh at this one it was cute and hilarious. He also thought when I bought him a Pink Floyd shirt that it was a pink shirt with some guy named Floyd on it. Those are just a few of probably many weird things I thought as a kid and my son probably has more that I can't think of but those were a couple of my favorites. What about you? What funny things did you believe as a kid or did your own kids believe?
