    When I was a little filly, I thought that if I held two pillows on the underside of my arms and flapped my arms quick enough, I could fly from my bunk bed. I was wrong..

    What my father told me at the age of 4

    Step 1: Swallow apple seed.
    Step 2: Wait a while, drinking regularly.

    You should have an apple tree in your stomach within 3 weeks.

    I believed him.

    List of Poetic's silly beliefs:
    1. I would someday own Thomas the Tank Engine.
    2. I could talk to action figures.
    3. I could talk to animals.
    4. If you unplugged the bath whilst still in it, you'd be sucked down the drain.
    5. If I ran full pelt at a sofa, flapped my arms and leapt into the air, I could fly.
    6. Never put my feet next to the bottom of my bed in case something grabbed them.
    7. It was possible to go into a TV screen.
    8. George Washington was the prime minister of Great Britain.
    9. The world was just one big piece of land/just the United Kingdom
    10. Lightsabers existed.

    I know I had a lot of silly ones, but I can't remember anything for the life of me. This is troubling. Oh well, there is one thing.

    I thought Turtle Rock in Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was unbeatable.

    When I grow up I'm going to be a very special person.
    Hehehe, almost as good as "oh yes, this drawing is fantastic! Let me put it on the fridge..."(bin)

    When I was a kid, I always that if you were driving behind someone, then you were going slower than them. When you were passing someone, you were going the same speed, and after you passed them, then you were going faster than them!

    Also, mom was a better driver than dad because she didn't move the gear shifter as much. Dad drove a stick shift (manual).

    And after growing up, I thought My Little Pony was for girls. Boy, was I wrong. :p

    I was the most gullible child ever xD

    My list!

    *My sister told me that gasoline came from camels. One hump for regular, two for premium.
    *If you went into the bathroom with the lights off and sat on the toilet, then a flaming head would come out of the toilet and burn you up
    *Clouds were made by unicorns to try and play charades with humans. I was so silly. It's the pegasi! =P
    *When you were sued, they took you into a big padded room and sewed you to the walls


    There are more, but I can't remember them D=

    The only time people would drive cars would be when I was in them. Otherwise there was nobody in the car and it was driving on it's own.

    Oh, that reminds me. I used to believe something similar about when you get sacked. I thought you were put in a sack, and thrown away

    As a four-year-old I thought that the world was a hollow sphere of water and when you went under the ocean you were inside the earth, also that you could swim underneath the continents. I also thought that there were monsters at my window even though it was a second story window (I guess they could be really tall or have the ability to fly). When I was in Kindergarten and Pokemon was really big I thought that there was only one of each Pokemon and some were male and some were female and that as a boy I could only like the male ones, then I became a brony 12 years later, my 5-year-old self would be appalled with my current self.

    When I was little I thought that you were an adult when you turned 13, and I'd always tell my parents that when I turn 13 I'm going to move out, get married, and get a job as an ice cream truck driver.

    I thought that dragons hid inside volcanos, my books had hidden messages in them, and that my parents had an older sister before I was born, but they sold her to the gypsies because she misbehaved. My parents managed to perpetuate that until I was about ten.

    Back when I was a wee boyo playing Tekken 2 (Way back in 1999) I thought that Devil Kazuya was real and I would check underneath my bed every night for him.

    I thought I could be as stretchy as Dhalsim if I said 'Yoga' 9000 times after playing Street Fighter 2.
