That my Mom actually had eyes in the back of her head.
It seemed as though she saw everything we did.

1 I believed that under rivers everything turned into a cartoon like the waterbabies film and really wanted to dive in
2 I was desperate to remove my head as I was sure it could be done.
3 I thought oil patches were rainbows that had fallen from the sky and would burst into tears whenever I saw one.
4 The only job I wanted was the one where I was the guy in the room full of switch's that turned all the streetlights on at night.
I have always been a victim to my imagination,even now

I was told, by my nan, that if I told lies, my tongue would swell
up and I would not be able to close my mouth and everybody
would know !!! I am over 60, but am not sure if this would
be classed as child abuse now !! I have to say, if I have ever
attempted to tell an outright lie, all my life so far, I blush and
stutter....I am getting the hang of little white lies ,, just !!

Ok you ready for this?
My mother told me where babies came from at a very early age. But my big sister soon put me straight.
No no no we come out in bags, and the nurse comes along and puts us together, and if she gets it wrong you have problems like our friend xxxxxxxx (she had a deformed leg)
Now that made sense to a 3 year old. I ran through the kitchen just as mum was getting a chicken ready, and she pulled out the bag of giblets
"See you lied to me" I shouted.
It took years for her to convince me otherwise hehe.
NICE ONE SIS

That if i slept with my arms outside the bed covers my arms would turn to ice and drop off and my mum also told me that the snakes in Live and Let Die weren't real but were 'battery operated snakes' so there was no need to be scared of them. I swallowed that for about 15 years until one day i went, 'hang on, snakes with batteries'....

My grandma used to always tell me that if I thought I saw a "boogieman" that I would go to Hell when I died! When I was a kid and if I was outside at night and a bush moved in the wind, I would freak out thinking that someone was in the bushes! Active imagination but my Grandma spooked me more telling me I was going to Hell!!

and if i ever become a lawyer i would help bad people...and i will sleep with all the bad people i help in return of favor...

Most things my mother told me and now I realise my mum is completely daft. It has taken me years to get over the things she told me. I was terrified of dragonflies 'cos she told me they sting you. I thought my face would remain stuck if the wind changed direction. I would not sit on anything cold in case I got piles. Bananas reform in your stomach if you eat them late at night?!!! Cheese gives you nightmares( that one could be true). If you sit to close to the TV you'll get square eyes. I'd like to have seen that as a kid!!!!
