Funny Things You Believed When You Were Little

When I was little I used to think if you hide under the covers ghost couldn't see you. I thought those bumps in the night was ghost roaming around. I just fen prayed to God ( the Holy Ghost) to chase them away. As I grew older I realized those sounds was just the sounds old houses make. The reason I heard them at night is because of the total quiet. I started paying attention and discovered the floors creaked, Windows rattled and the other sounds happened in the day too.
Then I was mad at myself for being a scardy cat for nothing! Especially since I talked to the ghost asking them to leave me alone one night.  I tried to make deals with them and everything! No wonder they never kept their end of the bargain....it was the old house creaking.

As a child, I thought that people who spoke different languages had different ears.

I figured it was up to what ears we had as to which sounds would make sense, and which wouldn't. For example, as I had ears like my parents and local community, we could understand each other. People with different ears made strange sounds and seemed to understand and be understood only by other people with the same type of ears. 

I can't remember when I figured it out, but I sort of miss the simplicity of that idea. Learning foreign languages has never been easy for me; fun, but difficult.
