I believed that fairies were real and I would look for them everywhere. I once saw these leaves on a weed moving when there was no breeze and could swear that the fairies were doing that. I must have looked for what seemed like hours. I think I was four.

I believed that Labour Day was for expectant mothers.

In high school I believed that I was a descendant of Abraham Lincon because we both might have had Marfans syndrome (Being tall and lanky).

I believed that my mom was King Charles iii twin sister, because they were born in the same day, same year. It would explain why my mom is so awesome.

I believed that Garfield was a calico (mistaken for green and orange) cat and couldn’t reproduce.

There used to be a cartoon called “Sinbad the Sailor”. Sinbad had a magic belt that made him super strong. In the 5th grade a classmate claimed he had a belt like this but his father wouldn’t allow him to show anybody. Can’t believe I fell for that.

I believed that north was up, south was down, east was on my left (no matter which was I was facing) and west was toward my right. I think that was a pretty common belief among kiddos

I convinced myself that I had magical powers because I could blow soap bubbles and then command them to rise in the air, by raising my hands up and chanting “rise” (thereby generating lift in the air column). Believing I had magical powers was so exhilarating! and yet when I realized the basic physics (as well as a child can) it was pretty deflating being non-magical.
