Crazy things you believed when you were a kid

Did you have any strange beliefs when you were a kid? I don't mean like Santa Claus or the tooth fairy, I mean things that you believed that were pretty much unique to you, or the kinds of crazy things kids told each other in the schoolyard.

For example:
When I was little, I believed that when you called a 24-hour phone line, you would literally be on the phone for 24 hours. I almost freaked out once because my mom was going to call a 24-hour line.
I also believed that pencil lead was a deadly poison and if you accidentally poked yourself with a pencil, you had to get all the pencil lead out of your skin or you would die. (I'm pretty sure I have a piece of pencil lead permanently stuck in my foot after I stepped on a pencil barefoot a few days before I graduated from university.)

I thought that the saying about "elbow grease" meant that elbow grease was a real thing, so I would work really hard to get grease to come out of my elbows.

I also used to think that if you were a girl and strained hard enough on the toilet, a baby would come out. xD

-that if I sent water or as I thought of them "samples of evidence" down the holes in the top of the sink they would be directly sent to the people on Animal Faceoff

-I lived in denial of carnivores killing other animals for food as a very young kid. I'm not sure how I thought they were fed, I guess maybe I thought that meat just materialized.
-When my anxiety symptoms first started I had a recurrent delusion that I wasn't real. I was 7 when this first started happening .____.
-I thought that people got pregnant the way animals got pregnant in ZT2 when I was around 8-9. How naive I was.

I used to believe that babies were made when a man and a woman slept in the same bed while not wearing any pants and that all the magic happened automatically while they were asleep.

I can see where this is going, so why don't we change the subject now? :)

That Neanderthals and Homo sapiens interbred. I was also an early adopter of the idea of feathered T-rex. I guess I was right about some things? xD

When I was about 5 or 6, I believed that if you hung upside down for too long, you would die because all the blood would end up in your head. I didn't know anything about bats or one-way vein valves back then.

I went to high school with the one guy who chose Bulbasaur in Pokemon Red/Blue (not counting FireRed/LeafGreen), because he believed he could get them all by going with Pokemon #001 in the Pokedex.

I used to belive that if you ask permission for a murder to the cops, you could kill anyone with their permission.

I believed that in the washing machine, there was a huge Komodo dragon lurking, waiting for the moment to strike.

When I was little and has no idea about the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous, I thought all dinosaurs lived together before they all died.

Is walkin' with a dead man.

...I thought that my grandparents had monkey tails that fell off when they were born. This applied to everyone that was a generation older than my parents.
