When I was little, my grandma would tell me that god was watching over me. Everything religious that we had in our house with an image of 'god' on it was of him as an old dude in a toga or a loincloth. So I was terrified to take a bath, go potty, or just plain get naked, because then god would see, and god was creepy old man wearing a diaper.
I saw a movie where snakes came out of the toilet, and after that I was scared to use the bathroom because I thought a snake was going to come out and bite me on the buttocks. So I intentionally wet myself for like three weeks before my grandma could convince me that snakes weren't in the toilet, and even then I wouldn't go without her or my mom in there with me.
I was afraid to hang any part of my body over the edge of my mattress. Because I thought that once the light went out a magic force field would rise around my bed and chop off my arms and legs. I also used to think lava would melt them off. My mom's boyfriend told me that and even though I know that can't happen, I still have moments of terror at night.
I used to be scared that when the lights went out demons would rise from the shadows and rip me apart and drag what was left of me to hell for being bad.
I used to think that the sky would open up and suck me in i I stared at it too long, and that sharks magically manifested and ate your legs when you went in the deep end of a swimming pool or lake.
I used to think that Genitals were in your neck..
I had no idea that people could be gay, even though I constantly drew naked women from a young age. No one ever told me either.
