What did you believe when you were young only to find out that it was a load of old codswallop?!

I used to believe that my Grandad had a tin of horse manure on top of the cupboard in his kitchen that he would spread on his head to make his hair grow. When I was a bit older and had what I thought was an understanding of the facts of life, I thought that a mans penis was rolled up like a fireman's hose, to be rolled out to have sex and then coiled back up again!:o (please, no comments on how yours is actually like that....:rolleyes: )

Go on, spill the beans.........

My mother always told us that our local river was deep and treacherous and we were to be very careful when anywhere near it. I think I must have been about 45 when I realised, on a visit home, that some chaps were messing about in a rowing boat and one was standing up to his waist in the river.

She wasn't lying all the time, as when it was in flood it was deep and flowing fast. I discovered that my friends were also told the same tale.

Duh.

Didja ever figure out Hammy that your brains would stay put. That is so funny.:yh_rotfl :yh_rotfl :yh_rotfl :

When I was 5 years old, my brother showed me microphone/speaker from a ham radio set, and told me that thousands of little people lived inside. I really believed him!

When I first met hubby I was taking my eye make up off with nivea cream and spread some on his arm, he told me that he was allergic to it, I paniced and was apologising frantically wondering why he was laughing at something so serious!! (moron)



My daughter for years believed that she couldn't sleep unless I put a 'going-to-sleep' spell on her first!:wah:

Oh, Pinks! :lips:

Someone told me that drinking coffee would turn my knees black and I believed it.

Someone else told me I could change into a boy if I kissed my elbow! I probably spent WEEKS trying that one.

I remember being furious and feeling betrayed when I learned about Santa Claus. They'd told me HE WAS REAL! (I hope I haven't broken any hearts with that revelation.)

:wah: I'd forgotten about the watermelon seed thing! I've always loved the taste of watermelon seeds & have been eating them (secretly) forever! As a kid, "THEY" told me those seeds would sprout and grow and a watermelon plant would come right out of my MOUTH!

(What a rotten thing to say to a kid!) :thinking:

:wah: That's so cruelly funny...I laughed out loud at that one, sorry Pinky...

I was an older sibling and had a bit of a mean streak. If he got on my nerves (theres a 5 yr difference) I'd pick up the 'phone and pretend to call the orphanage......"yes? You've one place left for a naughty boy? Great, I'll just get his shoes on"......:yh_devil
