Bit of fun on a monday, trace back to our childhood and remember those things that use to scare us rigid.

I used to think my bellybutton could untangle and my insides would fall out

I always thought I was taking a genuine risk standing on the cracks in the pavement

I wanted my dad to buy me a round TV so my eyes wouldn't go square
 
My brother used to think girl parts were just like boys' just tied in a knot and folded inside the body, I have a feeling he tried it once or twice too >.<

An ex couldn't eat prawns as her father told her, when she was a child, that prawns were "fish willies" hehe
 
pulling a face and the wind changing got ingrained into me an a kid

sitting to close to the tv to stop eyes going square

can't really remember any other ones!
 
I was told by my mum that a montster would come and get me if i didn't go to sleep so I used to think this monster was going around the kids bedrooms, one-by-one in our cul-de-sac, checking if kids were asleep. If they wern't you'd get eaten.

It's no wonder I still have sleeping problems not that I still believe there's a sleep monster :p

LOL thats a tad extreme.

Mine was thinking that if I picked my nose my brains would fall out.

Oh and jaws could actually come out of the toilet and get me scared me for a while.
 
I didnt like sitting in the car along when the keys were still in the ignition because i thought the car might drive off by itself

That a hoover could chase me up the stairs

That the grates/filter holes in swimming pools would suck my up. (The centre parks bars are the worst in the main swimming pool)

These things i remember seeing in either cartoons or on films which is probably why i believed them and gave me nightmares that i then remembered. Watching IT when i was 7 in florida didnt help. This is why i am still scared of grates in swimming pools (and i'm now 25)

You know when the icecream van goes past with its music going it means theres no ice cream left

"Look dad look at all them dumb kids, they don't know what me and you know ha"

"Anyway off to college"

:(
 
I used to think a fire drill was like a drill but instead of a bit it used an intense flame, whenever primary school had a fire drill i would always wonder wtf we dont just get a normal drill to stop all the disruption :/

I use that one even now :D
 
I used to think that when I went to school the rest of the world outside of school just stopped, and then everyone just sat outside the school gates waiting to pick their kids up again.

And I believed my grandad when he said if I pulled a funny face and the wind changed direction, my face would stay like that.

Oh and if I swallowed any kind of seed, like an apple seed, then a tree would grow in my tummy and kill me when it got too big and burst out.
 
I was told that if I swallow chewing gum, it would wrap round my intestines and I would die :(.

A couple of times as a child I believed these 'The world's going to end' stories and got pretty upset.
 
I coloured my thumb in with a felt tipped pen on my first day of first school, Samantha Velma told me I was going to die as the ink would poison me. Apparently I was inconsolable, and they had to get my Mum to come in to comfort me.

Later on in my time at that first school, I drawing pinned that girl's seat.
 
Very little that I can remember besides Santa untiL I was about 5 when I woke up at night to check because even at that age I was a cynical little git. I think I lost all traces of innocence when my parents devorced and I realised that yes, in fact life CAN be that horrible.

Sorry to put a downer on the thread by the way.
