Oh how innocent I was. I honestly thought........
- Aeroplanes dragged a long, long, long cord behind them to be able to talk on the radio.
- The flashing "pedestrian crossing" sign was worked by someone whose sole job was sitting there switching the light on and off.
- That we were sailing to England when we went on the Manly ferry
- If I spoke to my cat and repeated my name over and over, that it would be able to talk.
- That if I practised hard enough, that I could jump backwards into trees, like the ninjas in "Samurai"

| I did believe that pigs could fly and every single time i seen a pig i would say come on pig fly for me fly. I also believed that i come from the stork and the stork found me in a cabbage patch. And for a very long time i thought the cuckoo clock had a real bird in it.

...and I also thought that when you turned on the radio and listened to a song, that the band was actually in the studio playing.
And it always intrigued me that when you plugged a toaster in to the power point, it made toast but when you plugged the radio in, it played music. How did it know? Didn't the music come through the power point....how could music make toast ?

| My dad was a tree feller and i use to think he used real long extension cords to use his chain saw, i use to think rocks grew (only found out not long ago they didnt) I use to think whales played in a bath tub. I use to think the same about the cuckoo clocks always wondered why the bird never got fed. The things i believe is unreal.

As an aside, when I was about 37, I asked a work colleague what she was going to do for Christmas. She replied "nothing" "Oh why's that" I asked." Well, I'm Jewish" So I continued in my ignorance "You don't have a tree or anything?" "No, I'm Jewish" I was really confused, I thought Jewish people didn't like trees or something. I contnued" Do you give presents?" "No I'm Jewish" I had NO IDEA AT ALL, that they didn't celebrate Christmas. She actually had to tell me that Jews don't celebrate Christmas.
I blame my Catholic education. I only knew about Jesus and Mary and the Pope.

Tell me a story and i believe it! The one that stands out the most is how my father would say a car runs on a battery he never told me it was different to the ones that go into a torch. And don't forget the old red back spider on the loo i was always told if i didn't hurry up in the bathroom the red back would get me

So did I. I always loved "Samurai" and so when I was around 7 yrs old, I jumped off the garage roof into our sand pit: right onto a house brick buried in the sand. Broke my ankle.
I always wanted to be Astro Boy too (or Astro Girl) I believed that if I could JUST find and open the secret compartment in my stomach, that I would be able to operate the jet rockets in my feet and see all the transistors and wires that make me work.

| I use to think there were real little monsters in my mouth if i didn't brush my teeth. I also thought someone sat there at lights changing them so your not alone Ducky. And im not being rude but i always thought they collected pop offs in a bottle that people did in the bath tub to get a spa working.

| Really shows how easy we can believe in things when you think we get told something or see something and we try it or think its real. No wonder people grow up nuts

| Finding out Santa/Easter Bunny and the tooth Fairy wasn't real was enough for me not to believe in anything again it destroyed my life
