I thought the actual ball ball lump thing was an egg, I hadn't noticed it before that point no. I kept thinking it was growing throughout the day.

oh, and seeing 1 magpie was bad luck. (2 or more bought good luck), but thats superstition.

My aunt's birthday is the 1st April, I used to think everyone was trying to trick me, but it actually is on the 1st of April 
^^ THIS! I completely forgot that I thought the world didn't have colour once upon a time! lol!
I also used to think that women could only get pregnant if you had sex whilst they were on their periods.
When I was about 4-5, I used to stay at my Grandma's house until my mum could come and pick me up after work. Whenever it was about the time she should be arriving, I used to hide in the SAME cupboard ever day. I genuinely believed that she didn't know where I was everyday.
My dads friend used to do a "trick" which made it look like he was pulling his thumb off. I always wondered about that.
And last but not least... GHOSTS. I still believe in ghosts, but my sister used to TERRIFY me that we had poltergeists living in our house after there was a TV show on about them.
Ah see now I was told thunder was God having a strop and stomping about because someone in the world had done something wrong!
gosh, heaps of things. Lived with my grandparents and they were both the ultimate pranksters and never really lost their child like and mischievous qualities, even as two highly educated people.
That there was a giant living behind the hill outside our town. Can't even begin to describe how many nights me and my bother plotted to go have a look at this giant, but we never had the guts . My grandfather would drive us there with the car and as we approach the hill, we would hide under blankets in the back so the giant wouldn't see us.
Witch of Greenriver. My grandma had me believe a witch lived by the river which was close to our house, and if I was naughty, she would go get the car keys and say 'right, that's it, I'm giving you to the witch now, let's go' . I didn't half start behaving myself quickly
If we stayed up and waited to see the tooth fairy, she would be so frightened, run away and none of the other kids would get their sweets or money. I would be in bed with my tooth inside a shoe under my bed, she (granny) would poke her head around the door to warn me that the fairy is here and I should close my eyes. I was burning up inside to have a look but didn't want to frighten her and let the other kids get nothing
If I didn't finish my glass of milk everyday, the cows would die
I couldn't have anything sweet before exactly 11:10am or my teeth would fall out.
heaps more. will think a bit later.

Slightly off topic, my missus believed that all games went to extra time and penailties. If I was at a game and fancied a few sneaky pints afterwards, the game always went to ET + PEN - EVEN Friendlies !.
Worked a treat for years until one of my mates put his put in it.
My dad used to play a trick on both me and my sister when we ate at mcdonalds as a "treat". We would always have milkshake so my dad would kindly go and get the straws and put them in everyone's drinks for them, pushing the milkshake straws right to the bottom of the cup forcing you to try and suck in flat cardboard.
Then he would say "O you two arn't old enough Ill have to start them off for you" proceeding to pull the straws up and slurp 1/4 of the milkshake out of each of our cups.
I still feel robbed to this day.

I thought if I couldn't see you then You couldn't see me, This meant that I could put my head behind the sofa & think I was Well hidden even though the rest of my body was sticking out.
I also thought that it was just a matter of time before I learnt to fly.
Later on they told me some fat old nonce was gonna creep my bedroom late at night & sit on my bed, Me mates had already told me about Santa though & I had me Bat ready.
