Woo! I've got my first radio reading this Saturday morning! *is terrified* It's live, and the newspaper to boot, which is a big scary job.... I'll be double-teaming with one of the regular readers, thank goodness. I suppose you could listen to my debut here

Aliens. Yes.
Especially after Mr. Snyder had us watch "War of the Worlds" in 6th grade (even though that movie still strikes me as being hella cool)

Santa was real. I still kinda believe in Santa, if only because he is the embodiment of Christmas spirit that lives in a lot of folks.
The tooth fairy was a crock. I knew my parents were leaving money for me. (and I know this because the tooth fairy now comes in the form of a dentist that leaves treats of Codeine instead).

Unicorns were real. Dragons were not. For some reason I couldn't fathom large flying, firebreathing lizards... but I always thought that if I looked hard enough, I'd catch a glimpse of a unicorn.

Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the other holiday critters were fake- my parents were very clear on that point. Magic wasn't real, but plenty of things that bent the laws of physics were- f'r instance, there was a giant cavern filled with treasure and traps under the school soccer field. Aliens were definitely real- I saw something in kindergarten which my six-year-old mind concluded must be of extraterrestrial origin. Mutants and psychics were also real, on occassion, because they'd been created by the aliens. Mythic beasts never existed; dinosaurs, on the other hand, were still around... somewhere.

Congratulations with the radio reading!

Santa was real until I noticed how my uncle always slipped out on Christmas eve when it was time for all of the cousins to get gifts.

for an initial brief answer...
I was afraid Alf was going to come and eat my cat.

*shaking with suppressed laughter* That is an awesome answer.

Aliens were real. (Thank you for the freaky pictures randomly placed around my room to scare the crap out of me, dear loving sister.)

Faeries were neat, but not real. Leprechauns were real. Dragons and unicorns were real but didn't live in our area. Ghosts were most definitely real, as was something called "The Crow Man" my friend and I saw in our church cemetary late one night after a youth group meeting. Once I thought I saw a parade of tiny green glowing dinosaurs doing the mamba on the bunk bed ladder, but that probably wasn't real. The ghosts and the aliens were the worst. Santa is enough in doubt that I still believe in him just in case.
