Untrue things U were as a kid that U BELIEVED.

[wonderwort]

Share stories of untrue things you were told as kids that you believed.

For me
1) My older sister told me that if I swallowed a watermellon seed by accident. The water mellon seed would sprout in my stomach and starting growing into watermellon vines. This scared me for while.

2) My older brother told me that the three "eyes" on the bottom of the coconut were created by God so people can put straws into them. I believed this for a long time.

First time camping I was taken on snipe hunt.

My mom told me that anything with seeds would sprout and grow in my stomach.

My dad told me if I jerk it to pix of men I'd grow up to be gay. Well, I think we know how this scenario turned out...

I was told that cartoons were real and I would always talk about wanting to go visit....

Then I saw how cartoons were made and realized it wasn't true.

Shame. That'd be awesome.

Mom told me babies came from cabbages grown by parents in the backyard when they get married. I believed in tooth ferries, mermaids, and Santa Claus. I thought cartoon characters were real living creatures on some planet. I believed that jerking off is killing babies when you waste cum.

That I could dig a hole through the Earth to China.

I've always found that to be true.

Now I jerk it to pix of "Elvin", so, naturally, I'm getting even GAYER!!! If this is even possible...???

Did you try to dig to China? I did, but all I got was hair on my chest ;-)

 

[gsdx]

Did you try to dig to China?

Yes, at least until we found worms and went fishing instead.

My Grandfather told me that if I pointed at a graveyard, I would be the next to die. I didn't point at a graveyard for years!

My Mother told me that Jello was made from horse's hooves. I still ate it, but always thought of the poor legless horses.

I believed that one, too, at least until I tried to make a hole for a straw.

For a little while I believed my mom when she said if I don't wash my ears, grass could grow in there. One day I decided that would be fun, so I didn't wash my ears for a while and then I put grass seed in them.
All it did was itch.


And for a long time I believed cops really are here to serve and protect.

That's actually on the right track. Gelatin is "derived from the collagen inside animals' skin and bones," according to Wikipedia.

When I always watched shows and films and they had kids in it I always thought that the camera crew and everything was there when they were growing up already filming the scenes for the film then I noticed on the closing credits that it was a different actor playing the younger version.
I also thought on things like Crimewatch and other shows that have reconstructions that people were there filming it and if they already have the guy or woman that killed, raped or attacked then why are they showing it and then I found out what the word reconstruction meant

when you die, you go to heaven, die in heaven you go to a nude beach, die there you go to blue world where everythings blue, die there go to red and so on! I believed that hahah

Yelp, I have been snipe hunting. I did not realize it was a joke until it was over.


Also, I was taught fornication referred to all sex outside of marriage. Then I read the Old English meaning of the word. I was surprised to say the least.

I really believed that you had to wait two hours after eating before going swimming.
