I remember being told that if put dolls hair, or my little ponies hair in my mouth, then I'd end up sallowing it and it'd wrap round my bones and kill me!

Once when I was about 8 we rescued a pigeon that had broken its wing, and we kept it in the garage. I called it Pidgy. One morning I woke up and they told me it had healed and flown away... 16 years later I found out actually it had died and they hadnt told me so as not to upset me.
Still, perhaps it stopped me from growing up to be an emotionally scarred individual all thanks to one pigeon.

Yes. Santa Clause was real. The Easter Bunny hopped in to leave the candy. Silly things like that. Other than those, my parents were pretty open with us and as a result we were ready for the outside world. We weren't the sheltered shy type that wasn't aware what went on in the real world. Of course, most things revealed to us were age appropriate, others were not. Im still thankful for my lessons though.

JUst that everything was going to be allright. Now with global warming and that our leaders (on BOTH SIDES) are getting worse and worse. And the world becoming so polarized Im sacred poopless.
And guys If you don't believe in Santa he will never believe in you. Why is everyone in such a hurry to show how cool and mature they are. HAve some fun and imagination!

Yeah, Santa comes to mind....
My mom and big sister also told me that if I ate apple pips it would make an apple tree grow in my tummy and out of my throat- I got really upset when I ate a pip accidentally once, I think I didn't want to drink anything for ages because I didn't want the tree to grow!

Yeah when I was fourteen I to worry about completing school work, and getting into a good college. I was told there is no need to worry about college you are doing just fine. Now to this day when some tells me not to worry , I think Okay now it is time to start worrying. I am over 40 now and have not completed any College degree , then I stop letting people tell me not to WORRY!

As both my husband and I have blue eyes, and my youngest daughter has brown eyes, which are a throwback via her grandmother we have since found out!
I
I jokingly used to say her brown eyes were the Milk mans, who incidentally did happen to have brown eyes - and everyone would laugh.
It was when she was about 1O I realised that she actually believed this, bless her heart, I still feel sooooo guilty about this!
So be warned out there what you say to or in front of children!!!!

Up until the age of about 11/12, I was convinced that the world was black and white before 1955 ;) lol
Oh yeah...and I still believe that if I pull a funny face and the wind changes, it might stick....lol

My dad was a sonofabitch, so now i don't know who to take after.
If she didn't spit on a hanky and wipe it all over my face, people wouldn't talk to me.
People would starve all over the world on my behalf, because i left the bacon rind.
Food is for the rich.
They weren't our presents. Santa dropped them off and would pick them up late to deliver to some other kids.
All you need is love. (not true this day and age)
School was the best days of my life.
If we went to Sunday school, dinner would be ready when we got home.

My parents told me that if I picked my nose I could damage part of the nostril which is responsible for smell. I'm still trying to work out if it's true as I've never heard of anyone doing that.

That the lights running down the middle of the road ("cats'-eyes") were really cats' eyes. That there were wolves hiding behind the houses in Wolverhampton. That the blood in violent films was "just ketchup"...
