When I was a child, I thought . . .

I used to think Cleopatra had two lovers, Mark and Tony.

Three, if you count Julius. LOL

when i was a kid, i didnt believe in santa clause... but i didnt disbelieve either.
I just knew that, when my mom revealed he wasnt real (like the Tooth Fairy), i wasnt surprised. i just said "ok" and went on with my life, while my brother freaked out and developed trust issues-- "what else are they lying to us about?" "how could they just let us believe this!" "they were probably laughing at us the whole time and we were too stupid to know!"
like... chill bro. its not that serious.

also, when i was a kid, i believed that Borrowers lived under my rug and was afraid to walk on the hallway runner because i was afraid i'd crush them

Run, Arrietty, run!

The phrase isn't actually "we'll drive off that bridge when we get to it."

I was in my thirties before I learned it's "we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."

Thanks, Dad, for helping me give my friends small heart palpitations.

I picked up "We'll jump off that bridge when we get to it" from a guy at college. I still find myself saying it, even when I should not.

When I was very young I thought Bruce Lee was a fictional character!

My kindergarten teacher told us that turning the light switch on and off in rapid succession would cause a fire. Also the good old 'leaving the overhead light on in the car is illegal'

Everyone knows that turning your light switch on and off five times prevents the world from ending...

We didn't have a chimney as a kid so when my aunt told me Santa would magically appear in the cupboard and come down, I believed it, albeit very briefly.

Our dad told us Santa had a special key.

When I was a kid and it was really cold in winter I fully believed that if everyone opened the window the world would get warm again

I thought my dolls came to life when I went to sleep. Also, I believed if I didn't treat them well that they'd make me regret it.

I believed I could become a real pirate of the high seas.

And also, I thought werewolves and vampires were real. At one point in my childhood I hoped to become one, didn't much care which until I got a wee bit older and gothy.

I believed I would live forever.

When i was very little we lived in the countryside, i thought foxes were about the size of wolves and was frightened that dad used to walk the dog in the woods in case they got eaten

wheni was a little older our cub scout leader had primer patches down the side of his car, he told us he'd driven through the local RAF firing range and they were bullet holes, i believed him for about a day until i realise there wasn't a road through the firing range

I thought that high school would be fun because 75% of it would be standing around your locker and gossiping with people.

When i was a child, i thought the song/nursery rhyme "Don Gato" was sad and to this day, i wonder why they had us sing this in 2nd grade music class
