When I was little, my dad told me ATMs worked by having little monkeys inside them.
I believed that for years. Now I work in a bank, and wish it were true!

I believed that when I grew up life would be soooo easy. I thought grown-ups had it made.

Funny!! Yours is pretty hard to top, but here is my best one:
I used to be scared to death cuz my grandpa said that earwigs would crawl in my ears if I wasn't careful. Scary!
Then I found some inside the husk when I was picking an ear of corn. DUH! So THAT's why they call them earwigs!
Oh, and another one! This one is better!
When I was a freshman on the high school football team, the whole team had to go in for a pre-season physical. The sophmores told all us freshman that after the doctor finishes the part where he tells you to turn your head and cough, he jams the dreaded SQUARE NEEDLE right up your YOU KNOW WHAT! And it hurts so bad that half the guys pass out when they get the square needle! You tell me THAT's not scary! (I think I whined a little when I coughed.)

My mom told us so many silly things! I just found this stuff out within the last year or so. I am 24.
My mom always said she hated eating chicken from McDonalds or other fast food because it wasnt "real chicken" I thought that meant it was man made...like with special ingredients!
That black olives were made from whale skin (I learned this wasn't true earlier in life)
That is was illegal to drive with your interior lights on.
My favorite memory of my mom being mean (but it's so funny as an adult!!) is the time we were at McDonalds and I begged for a Happy Meal. She told me they were Sad Meals now because Ronald McDonald died....you wouldn't want a Sad Meal now would you?
hehehehe :)

In college , my boyfriend's fraternity told me you could not make mixed drinks with diet soda because the soda was too light and would float to the top and not stay mixed with the liquor. I felt like an idiot when I found out the truth 2 years later as a senior....duh!!!

When I was little I asked my mom if the earth was spinning all the time why don't we get dizzy? She didn't know so she told me it was because the earth spun very very slowly. I was satisfied until years later I repeated it in science class and the whole class laughed at me!

When I found out there is no Santa Claus, because of him I turned in my sucker.
When I found out, that babies come from having sex, I couldn't look into my moms eyes, because my parents had 5 kids. I couldn't believe, that my mom did it 5 times.

For years I thought the Beatles lived in a yellow submarine. I will never recover from the truth.
