things you believed as a kid that are not true

My parents told me tons of stuff. But my favourite one has to be the little people in the lights controlling them and if they don't like some one they will turn the lights red... I believed this until I was 18 in my first job and was in co workers car and the light was on red I said "oh maybe the little men in the lights can't see us" she looked at me like I grew a third head and was like what I said it again. And she said no it's sensors... |

That there was a bog monster. My Brother used to run into the bathroom when I was sat on the pot, push me down the bowl and flush telling me the bog monster would eat me 
I had a phobia about flushing the toilet for years after
Acorn shells, my Dad used to tell me that they were fairy hats, I used to spend ages looking for the fairies

We ate too much sugar. I'd get worms.
If I sat too close to TV then I'd needs glasses.
If I pulled a face . And the wind changed I'd stay like it.
Best one ever. My grandad used to tell me when he was watching a western on tv. That he would have to clean all horse poop out of the back of he tv  |

A while back my Mam was showing my youngest my baby teeth that she's kept all this time (I've also kept my kids teeth - are we weird). When she came downstairs she told me and without thinking I said 'Why hasn't the Tooth Fairy got them?', my Mam quickly said 'because I got to them first'. I don't really know what to believe now. |

Never look a stranger in the eye. He might steal your soul! Also I was told girls were from Venus and boys were from Mars and that Mars bars were only for boys/men. I remember asking if there was a Venus bar just for girls.  |

Was told when I was a kid that thunder was the angels and passed family were playing bumper cars and that it they hit head on that was the cause of lightning. And anytime I hear thunder I think of my daughter and my nana playing in the bumper cars |

"That if I ate my crust, I'd get curly hair.
I never ate them. I wanted hair like my Actionman."
I was told if I ate my crusts it would put hairs on my chest... I still don't eat crusts I don't want hairs on my chest |

Buttercups could be used to tell if you liked someone to butter!
If you blew on a dandelion, each of the seeds went to a fairy.
Step on a crack, break your back.
Thunder was God expressing his/her disappointment.
Turns out girls are not made from sugar and spice and all things nice. |
