I believed that spaghetti grew in fields, my Dad told me tales of the beautiful sounds of spaghetti swaying in the breeze, I believed that Kiwi shoe polish was made from Kiwis, boys had boy babies and girls had girl babies and that you got pregnant by kissing, what did you believe?

That God was in heaven, sitting on His throne, with the angels flying their wings around Him! That He was a middle-aged man wearing white clothes and was clean-shaven! Anthropomorphism!! LOL!!!
That Jesus permitted his followers to eat pork and drink alcohol. Blasphemy! LOL!!
That women had no sexual desires; unlike men...and that women accepted men's attractions only because it made the women proud and socially prestigious!!!
That my living great-grandmother had no parents; that she was the beginning!
That Americans were kind people who loved truth and justice!!!

Your dad was right about spaghetti swaying in the breeze. It started as corn or wheat then it is ground and made into strips to make spaghetti and macaroni. You could be right about kiwi shoe polish being made by kiwis but not the bird but maybe by a newzealander. When a couple get married they would hope to bring up a family and the young man would hope for a boy child to follow in his footsteps. The young woman would usualy hope for a girl child. Kissing is part of love making and bring on sex. It's all very logical.

My dad (presently dead, well for ever really) once told me that he lived in Tynemouth Castle in the North East of England. It's a ruin really! I asked him how it become a wrecked castle and he told me that he was living there and lying in his bed when all of a sudden, the bulding was hit by a rock from space. He fell 4 floors down - still on his bed - and had to wipe the dust off him.
I was about 7 when he told me this story and believed him until I was much older. When I look back, my dad must of thought I was thick as pig's sh*t!

I believed Wetherby in North Yorkshire was by the sea because it had a fish and chip shop called the Wetherby Whaler. I could never understand why we drove 100 miles to the coast when we could just pop down to Wetherby.
I also believed (thanks to some truly devious parents) that the house alarm sensors were Santa Cam. This is one I may reuse....

I used to believe that storks brought babies- that was until a few years back when we started to learn about SRE. I used to believe the Bloody Mary story. If you ate too much crisps, spiders would grow in your stomach. Too much chocolate would make you ugly. Kissing frogs would make them into princes (never tried that though). It rains because god is having a shower.

That my stuffed animals came to life when I wasn't looking.
That cats were female and dogs were boys.
That my brother was the messiah and the anti-christ all in one.
That I had latent super powers of flight. So many dreams from early on. They have to mean something.

My parents led us to believe that people who came round looking at our house which was for sale, were from the 'Children's Home' and were visiting us to see if we were 'good'. I can still picture me and my brothers sat petrified in bed whilst these people looked at the bedroom!
How BAD was that?!!
My parents were clearly 'lacking' in the parental skills department!
I'm happy to say none of it ever rubbed off on me!
Your Dad sounds great! I was with you in those spaghetti fields!! Aaaahhh! Lovely!!

That our Minister Dr. Bagwell was prejudice. He gave several sermons on disarmament saying we needed to get rid of all the atomic "bums". I didn't understand what disarmament or atomic meant but how could he believe "distroying" the homeless be in "God's plan of peace and love"?
