Stupid things you used to believe as a kid

when I was young they used to have those sanitary towel adverts on tv where they poured cups of water to show how much they soaked up, until embarrassingly late in my childhood I always thought they were because women used to pee themselves >.<
 
We had a patterned lino in my bathroom when I was a kid, some of the patterns looked exactly like gremlins and I was certain that when I went to the loo, they would come alive and get me.

I had to have someone stand outside the door each time I went :o Must have been about 7 or 8!
 
i used to believe in santa, the tooth fairy and god - unsurprisingly the belief in god was the one that went first because it was the stupidest.

It's true. You grow up thinking peolple are nice. You play with children, siblings and parents and all is rosy. That illusion is shattered one day - and never comes back.

"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
 
My nan used to collect used tin foil to give to a blind charity, I always thought it was to help them see????

Obviously I know now that this wasn't the case, but at the time, that's what I thought.

Also, I thought that under the ice in ice rinks there was water, like in a frozen lake and was scared in case it cracked and I fell in!!!

I should remember that quote, it will be usefull the next time someone asks why I am such a cynical fart.
 
We had a load of dense bushes and trees at the end of our garden, I was petrified to go near them in the dark incase a big cat would come out like a puma or a tiger lol
