OK this wasn't when I was a child but I did believe, like a child, that Trev33 would move waaaaay more often than he does.

That’s depressing.
Ah, but she didn't say she stopped believing in them!

I believed Tommy (last name left out in case of a law suit) when I was bitten by a neighbour's dog that I would die in 24 hours because Blacky (the dog) had rabies.

Note: I didn't.
I don't like to say it but I suspect Blacky would no longer be around to sue him.

Sadly not but his owners are still fighting it (defamation) in the courts and hope for a final resolution soon. It has been a decades (almost 7) old suit.

I believed 1. a4 was the best way to get your rook into the game.
I think you have to create the Childhood Remembered mandatory a4 opening tournament in which both players must make their rook the second piece that they move. I would enter.

I believed a similar thing in India, the night before a 10 day trek in the Himalayas I was bitten by a dog, well I was feeding it at the restaurant we ate at and it grazed my finger after not releasing the food fast enough. Figured it looked healthy and forgot about it, the thought of getting sick while in the middle of no where was a scary thought however.

That's spooky, I once met a dog in Northern India that was terrified it had picked up germs from some guy's hand in a restaurant. Apparently it was on a tour funded by the proceeds of a recent law suit.

I hope you told it to stop being so cheap begging for food and use its money so it can eat off a plate at the next restaurant.

Apparently it's funds were running low and it had been trying to set up another defamation suit. It had already sold a Canadian passport. I felt no sympathy that it had been left with a morbid fear of germs.

I believed that earwig insects really crawled into people’s ears and altered their brains. I was relieved to find out it wasn’t true...

then I saw Wrath of Khan...
