What weird stuff did you believe as a kid?

When I was younger my over active imagination and my comedic parents led me to believe a series of bizarre things ....

For example -

Sequins gathered in dark corners would fly off to parties in the night.

Yorkshire puddings grew in mines and naughty kids had to go down to mine for them.

Old photos were taken from the ‘black and white days’ where everything really was just black and white, until the first colour was invented (red) which is why postboxes, telephone boxes buses etc are red. Also why some Tudor houses are black and white - they were accidentally missed !

  • mum and dad were born during the dinosaur ages
  • a cupboard in my room turned me invisible

And I read one on Facebook (which prompted this thread) a boy was adopted as a baby but was black, his adoptive family were white. They told him the other kids were born in the day, and he at night !
This lad then began telling the other black kids at his school that they were simply born at night, and white kids in the day .... ahahaha

I’m sure there’s more !

When driving, on the side of the road there was all the wooden crosses, like markers or something, I thought that was all the people who had died while driving and they had been buried at the side of the road

So did my brother - but mostly because that's what I told him they were Grin
