Childhood Beliefs.

[windy]

Take your mind back to when you were a young kid, (i know some still are:rolleyes: )

Was there anything that you held to be true, but now you're all growed up:rolleyes: , you know it was silly or just plain weird?

 

When i was a kid, i overheard one of my aunts say that she was just going to powder her nose.

For weeks after that, i checked womens faces to see if i could spot if they were wearing some kind of special dust just for noses.

 

 

 

 

 

Kate Moss obviously does go to the loo to literally powder her nose, but that ain't quite the same.

Unless my aunt was a coke head. :)

Our mum always used to tell us, we should never eat to far into the core of an apple, as if you swallowed the seeds , then an apple tree would grow in your stomach.

I have never to this day been able to eat a tomato (to many seeds).

Even though I know it's not gonna happen, that saying still sticks in my head somehow

I had a Corgi toy petrol tanker and it was an Esso one.

 

And I can remember correcting everyone when they commented on my tanker or when passing an Esso petrol station.

 

'It's not S-O, it's E-S-S-O'

We sometimes used to visit one of my old man's friends in Liverpool.

In their bathroom was this massive, cast iron bath, the legs of which were the type that looked like big dragon claws grasping a ball.

I always refused, point blank, to the point of screaming hissy fits:o , to go to the loo by myself, in case the bath let go of the metal balls and tried to chase me. :o

You big sissy

 

My cousins told me that a monster lived in the attic.

Wild Horses couldnt get me to walk under the loft hatch alone :o

Every Sunday afternoon, after Sunday Lunch, my Dad used to pick up the paper and announce he was 'Going to see a man about a dog'...

 

Yeah, NOW I know what he was really doing - but on one famous occasion I suddenly turned round to Mum one Sunday as Dad disappeared and asked 'So when are we going to get this dog then?'

 

I was only 4...

Whenever we go back home oop norf the kids would know that we're getting close when they saw the huge power station next to the M1 at Notts / Donington.

It had always to them been 'the cloud factory', a huge factory that was open 24 hours a day to pump new bundles of lovely fluffiness into our blue skies:)

Our eldest was in secondary education when we had to take her to one side and inform her that it wasn't actually a cloud factory:rolleyes:

Education today eh:confused:

When as kids, we visited my grandma around christmas every year, she would offer us a choice of cordial or a glass of adam's ale. I'd get so excited expecting something like ginger ale, only to be dissapointed when the water was plonked in front of me. Only after the third time did it sink in.

Chewing gum will stick your insides together if swallowed.

 

I once heard a rumour that if you undo your belly-button then your bum will fall off, not sure I ever fell for it though...

[kite geek]

I used to believe my nana used to have santas number.

[cookie121]

Father Christmas, Jack Frost and God, how can I tell my children its wrong to lie after all that bull****?

[Odds]

I was told that if you undid you belly button your bum would fall off!!!!

 

I've still not had the guts to try it........

[eifion]

Not so much a belief as a mistake.

 

When I was little, I remember watching my dad driving at night in the country and I remember asking why he flicked the main beams off when a car came and back on when it had gone. He told me that it was to avoid dazling other drivers.

 

For quite a few years I was wondering how the hell a tiny little blue light on the dashboard could dazzle other drivers when I could look at fine, and I was much closer than they were. :o

My missus STILL has to have the bed all tucked in incase the 'tootie monster' comes up from the end of the bed and starts nibbling on the end of her toots:)

 

She's making excuses now;)

[kite crazy]

i did believe in santa claus, but then most people did. at around 9 it started to sink in...

[windy]

I just found a site called iusedtobelieve.com

Here's a few from there!

 

 

I was half listening to lamb chop,(kids programme) and they said something about an egg turns into a chicken, but I thought it said a leg, and for the longest time I had this huge phobia that my legs were randomly going to turn into chickens and walk away.

 

 

 

I used to believe that shampoo for "dry" hair meant you didnt need water; it was a failed attempt when i tried it out but my mom thought it was cute

 

 

From when I was 4 years old up until I was about 8, I used to believe that Boy George was the prettiest lady I'd ever seen

 

 

[jack blood]

i used to think thunder was clouds bashing together lol

[jordan_aryan]

i used to believe that seeing 1 magpie alone was bad luck, but seeing a pair together was good luck.

[king_of_the_sky]

When i was younger i always used to think that sinn fein was a person (gerry adams to be precise) lol

[Kiteboyza]

if you touch your penis it would fall off....how wrong they were!

[DIGGY]

That being short and Ginger wasn't an affliction!
