When I was in kindergarten and went to a country one room school we had an electic pole at the edge of the yard. We would put our ears to the pole and "hear" the humming. We thought we could hear the people in Hell talking! LOL

My cousin told me one time as we were going to sleep during a thunderstorm that there was an old man with a frying pan in the center of a tornado and he would come through and scoop kids up in his pan and fry them and eat them. I believed her at the time!! We were about 8 or 9.

My brother was in a town several hours away. He needed is Discharge papers from the Army (VietNam era)
He had a friend at the local bank. He called my folks and said if they would take the papers to the bank and leave them his friend would fax them to him. They dropped off the papers and went home. Shortly after they got home my brother called to say thanks he had gotten them. A few days later I heard him telling a neighbor that some how those papers had gone into the phone line and came out the other end where my brother was waiting for them. (my dad was in his 90's) He just didn't get the concept of the fax machine!!

I used to think that my grandpa and grandma were sitting on big puffy clouds looking down on us. To this day, I look up at the clouds and talk to my father who passed away in 1983 and I talk to him. Most importantly, I look up at the clouds and search for the most beautiful puffy cloud and I pray. Edie

I thought that there were little tiny men in my belly chopping up the food I ate with axes and picks. And of course they all wore hard hats for safety!
I always had stomach issues and that explained why!

Actually believing with a garden shovel, I could dig all the way to China

mile hi quilter

Thought that the people on t.v. were actually inside the big wooden t.v.set, I would look inside the slots on the side of the t.v., Could dig deep enough to see the devil, orange sunset clouds meant Mrs. Claus was baking cookies and a fingernail moon meant that someone just had there fingernails trimmed and that was the fingernail...it always seemed I had just had mine trimmed too..we didn't have a fireplace/chimney, so I couldn't figure out how Santa Claus got into our house, my dad told me he sprinkled magic dust on himself and came through the keyhole in the door....My hubby thought potato chips grew on trees, one of the neighbors told him they just planted a potato chip tree, he waited and waited for the chips..

My 90 year old mother was in my daughter's new car with GPS built in. She wanted to know how it worked. We turned it on and put in her address. She never figured out how that woman knew where she lived. But, she always loved the heated seats. She died 3 years ago and we miss her and her funny personality!

I thought for a long time that if you turned the radio off during a show, it would pick up at the same place when you turned it back on.
