When Mat was a kid, he was afraid to go to the toilet. He thought there was a little man living just under it, and he would attack(攻击) him if he was there too long. He always went as quickly as possible.
Many years later, he found that a good friend used to believe that his body was full of rice. He began to think, "Did other people have strange ideas when they were kids？ "He collected their stories and wrote a book. Later he started a website to collect more stories. The website is called "I Used to Believe". Anyone can write stories there. What a funny and strange world! Here is one from Tom.
"I think I am a normal adult, but when I was five, I used to believe that the goal of parents was to kill their kids. One day, I kept crying when my father was busy. He got angry and put his hand around my neck. He wanted to quiet me. I remember thinking, 'OK, this is the end. 'Then he let me go and I thought to myself, 'I guess he won't do it now because too many people can see him."
