Stupid things you used to believe as a kid

[ikillbears]

my sister, who is 13 years older than me, used to tell me that if i stepped in dog turd then an ear wig would crawl up my leg, into my ear and snip the cords from my eyes to my brain. Needless to say i was extremely avoid-ant of dog poo and terrified of ear wigs for a long time

i thought that st george actually killed a dragon, rather than the metaphor

I'm not joking when I say, this is the first time I am learning this.

lol

So you thought until reading that post by Pish that dragons actually existed at one point in time?

Carrots help you see in the dark! (or is that one true?)

No, it isn't true. This particular myth started as a piece of WW2 propaganda intended to cover up the fact the British were using radar to spot enemy planes.

Burping and Farting at the same time would make me explode.

Pulling to many faces would make my face permanently shrivel up.

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

i do this to my kid since he was 4

i tell him the shadow man will get him if hes not asleep.

my wife thinks its evil but it works and stops him faffing about

That the sun went to sleep at night. It rested in this very dry land where no one lived and was surrounded by dinosaur bones.

No but I thought the story that he killed a dragon was actually a story about him killing a dragon, not a metaphor lol


Although he may have killed a komodo dragon.
