When I was a kid, I used to have a wooden armchair for kids. When you sat on it, and then got off, it was making noises for quite long. It was scary in the middle of the night so mom told me the angel or my grandfather is siiting on it and looking after me so I can sleep safe. And I believed it for a long time :)

That I could be flushed down the toilet. I was afraid of toilets for a long time. Now that I think back, I would probably cause a backup and require a lot of plunging.

When I was about 4 years old, I learned how Jesus had died on the cross, and I didn't understand how long ago it had happened, so I thought the Roman soldiers were still alive. I remember being VERY angry at what they had done (I somehow blamed them, not Pontius Pilate). Without ever telling anyone, I planned to become a soldier when I grew up so that I could hunt them down and avenge His death by killing them (I didn't know how far Rome was, either). The reason I didn't tell anyone was that in the same Sunday school lessons, I was learning that killing was wrong, so I was ashamed that I was planning to commit sin, but I thought I was justified by their wrongdoing in comparison the Jesus' good works. It only took me a couple of years to get over that one.

At age 5, when a few constellations were being pointed out to me for the very first time, I asked if we could go over to the top of a hill to get a closer look. Years later, when watching an episode of "Peanuts" I remembered it suddenly and clearly when Lucy & Charlie Brown were star gazing and Lucy went to a hill top to get a closer look. Even more years later and I have 5 university science degrees, including Masters Degrees in Astronomy and Cosmology.
