Answer 1

My dad once told me that when the ice cream van played the tune it meant that he'd ran out of ice creams :o(

what a meanie!!

Answer 2

Good question! Well, one time I saw an orange that had a growth on one side, and someone thought it looked kind of like a turtle so they were selling it. At that point they had about 3 bids, can you believe it?! Another time I saw a guy selling a jar of sand "from the Bermuda triangle". I'm not even sure if there are any islands in the Bermuda triangle, but that's not the point...the sand could be from absolutely anywhere! Some people are so crazy...but if you think about it, maybe they're just smart because they know that some silly person out there is actually going to buy their junk!

Answer 3

The Big 3 Santa, Tooth fairy, And The Easter Bunny.

Answer 4

Hi great question.
So many God was I a gullible child!!!
If I was making a face my mother used to say if the wind changes your face will stay like that.

I also believed that the sandman used to come to visit every night and put sand in your eyes to make you sleep and when you woke that was the bits in your eyes!!

But my very favorite one and the one I still use today on my smaller kids is that if they are telling me a lie I tell them to stick out their tongue and there will be a little tiny black dot on their tongue which they really do believe as did I but only mums and dads can see it.

My younger children also believe that I am magic and can see what they are doing even when I am not in the room how mean am I. lol

Answer 5

I believed in Santa Claus until I caught my father sneaking off to put candies and chocolates in my stockings and putting toys and gifts under the christmas tree. Boy, was I disappointed!

The following day I kept repeating the lines of a christmas carol..."you better watch out, you better not cry..." Papa caught me looking at him while singing the song. With a very big grin on his face, he announced to all of us, me and my four brothers, that next year there will be no more Santa Claus. And, of course, there were no more Santa Claus, ever.

Answer 6

My mum told me when I was about 5 years old that if I kept waving a flag (i had got at the fair)I'd poke someones eye out...I then did poke someones eye out!!! Not joking!
My friend who is blind and I were running around my back garden after the fair and I jabbed her in the eye and out it rolled...
Only found out a couple of years ago that it was a glass eye and I'm 29 now...
oh the shame.

Answer 9

I asked my Mom who puts the lane dividing stripes in the street. She said the government. So for a while I visualized a guy in tails with a big stache and top hat painting lines.
Picture William Howard Taft painting lines.
I also thot "law and order" was 'law and daughter" so I
visualized a sheriff driving a buckboard wagon with his daughter next to him holding a rifle.

Answer 10

The dumbest thing I believed was that, if I told my older sister what mum and dad had got her for Christmas, she would tell the truth about what they had got me.

However she always lied and made stuff up. :-(

Answer 11

We were extremely poor and as a result really didn't have much of a childhood. Had a lot of responsibilities even as a small child
