What are the daftest things you believed when you were young?
I thought about this today.
When I was young my parents used to take me to Sunday school. I remember there was an overweight man who was known to us as Mr Greedy.
Eventually he died, and I asked my parents what had happend to him. They told me that he burst and for a long time I believed that his belly popped and he flew off in all directions and deflated into nothing
Anyone else have any similar stories?

When the ice cream van came down our road, we would ask for an ice cream, as you do......
My Dad would say, " If he is ringing his bell, it means he has sold out."
I was 26 at the time.

My older brother once told me that the reasons planes decend so slowly is that if they came down really fast and hit the clouds at speed the plane would bounce to the moon.
I 've never forgiven him for that!

whenever we had a knock or tumble as kids, my mum would say 'oh dear, you'll have a pigs trotter there in the morning'
I used to be terrified to fall asleep, especially if fall or trip had resulted in split lip, i'd be terrified of what I might wake up to

i was told not to pick at my belly button because if i did then it would burst open and id fly round the room like a balloon and die!!??!!

picking dandelions makes you wee the bed.
if you pick your nose your brains fall out.
if i didnt eat all my greens then i would end up looking like the starved african kids on telly.
if i didnt eat all my tea then it would be sent to the starved african kids.
parents are horrible

Hello
That if you eat cotton/string it winds around your heart and you die ...
I also used to see fat women with thin children and think they were stealing their children's food. Although I actually still think that ..

If you swallowed chewy gum, it would stick to your insides.
If you trod on a nick, you'd marry a brick and a beetle would come to your wedding.
Oh and if I swore I'd get me mouth washed out with soap..... that one DID come true!

My parents told me that if I didn't stop picking my nose, my finger would get stuck and I'd have to have it cut off, just like Auntie Peggy (who did indeed only have half a finger). This worked well until Aunty Peggy (who I actually only met once) caught me staring up her nose. When she asked what I was doing, I explained exactly what my parents had told me and that I was looking to see if the other half of her finger was still in her nose.

Oh and another one I've just thought of, when I first moved from cot to bed, I didn't realise I could get in/out on my own, so used to ask my parents if I could get out of bed yet in the morning.

I used to believe that there were bad people who charmed you with fragranced wood.one day,our driver was late to pick myself and my sis from our new school.I was 10 yrs old then.While we were waiting at school gate,a fat man came to ask if we were alright.We said-"yes" but then we freaked out and ran away from him.We thought he was the fragranced wood charmer.
In next two days we found out that the fat weirdo was our art teacher
many things like that.

1. Eating apple seeds makes apple trees grow in your tummy
2. eating the crusts gives you curly hair
3. porridge actually stuck to your ribs
4. eating a black cherry yoghurt once and found a whole black cherry in it, I throw this down thinking it is a huge big black spiders body
