Do you remember anything daft you believed when you were young?
Was opening a tin of tuna today and remember when i was a kid i thought that dolphin friendly tuna meant the fish in the tin were friends with dolphins and as such why would anyone want to brag about killing dolphins friends.:loopy:
Anyone remember any gems?

haha thats a good one, well, only just leaving childness to become 16 but i was told that when the ice cream van played music it meant there were no ice creams left...i believed that from being about 4 lol...
isn't there a book with a load of these in somewhere?

That's harsh and funny.
Not sure about the book but sounds right.

Try this one, remember when i was really young first hearing the phrase 'put a man on the moon' and that it was America that did it. Took this literally and assumed they'd just put him up there as some sort of punishment and he was still there.

haha aww its weird what you believe as a young kid!
the book i have just found is called Great lies to tell small kids by Andy Riley...it is a great book and hillarious...the writer also wrote all the bunny suicides books too :)
full of the funniest things!!
one of the funniest i think from that book is
"Put a slice of ham in the DVD player. It will play a short film about pigs. (A slice of cheese will play a short film about cows.)" :P

I love that book. My fave from that is 'In Denmark they use bacon as bank notes!'
:D

I tell my 5 year old that the ice cream jingle is actually the bread van. Evil I know but she believes it! :D

awww hahaha. when i hear the ice cream van now, i still think no ice cream lol

When my kids stayed at my parents at the weekend, if they heard the ice cream van coming my mum told them it was the gravy man, and they believed her, they used to ask if they should go and get some for sunday dinner hihi

My aunt told me that when the skin on your feet peeled
(this happened all the time to me) it meant your feet were growing. Lol I believed this for ages and used to cry when it happened cause my feet were big enough ( i was a size 6 by the time i was 11) I'm now a 7/8.

I won a coconut at the fair and I couldn't figure out how to open it, my mum told me to use the tin opener. I spent a good 2 hours trying to figure it out then chucked it on the kitchen floor in temper and it opened. My mum laughed her head off.

I still remember to this day how daft I felt lol

My Grandad told me that the cooling towers at Tinsley viaduct were cloud machines.

I was told if you unscrew your belly button your bum will fall off.

I was told that my little sister was found in a bottle of milk, every time my mum used the milk I would watch waiting for a baby to come out of it. :roll:

I told my little boy that toy shops shut in November so that Father Christmas can shop for presents. If a shop looks open, the people in it are really elves in disguise & mustn't be disturbed - I still can't believe we kept that one going for 3 years:hihi::hihi::hihi:

Unfortunately, he's now a super sophisticated 6 year old so i don't think that will work this year :roll:

Oh, did you know that if you have motion detectors in your house they are really Santa Cams? The red light comes on when father Christmas is watching to see if you are being good :D

LOL, love the santa cams....very good

I remember over hearing my mother's conversation with her friend about a friend of theirs who had just given birth. I remember my Mother saying the new born was 7 pound, I was most disturbed by this and wondered how on earth I would ever afford a baby when I grew up, I only received 50 pence pocket money at the time and couldn't possibly afford a baby at 7 pounds.

I also used to think there were traffic lights and road signs high up in the air which helped the pilots of planes find their way around.

Hahaha i used to believe there were traffic lights in the sky. I thought i was the only person daft enough to have believed that. Thanks. :thumbsup:

I really believed that every time my dad put a record (vinyl) on that the person/band, whoever they were or whereever they were had to stop what they were doing and play - I remember thinking barbara dixon must of got abit annoyed with my dad on sundays - he must of played her albums 3 times every sunday!! so thick but funny to look back and remember being so innocent! :)

I was told that if an earwig got in your ear it would buirst your eardrum and make you deaf. It scared the living daylights out of me and I wouldnt go anywhere near one after lol

In primary school we had a policeman visit to give us a talk, who told us CID stood for Coppers In Disguise. I was about 15 before I realised it didn't.

i belived that black and white photos were the black and white days....before they invented colour!!just like when dorothy gayle went over the rainbow!!

At nursery school i was told that milk was cows pee . It put me off milk for life:loopy:

When my lad was really small he used to refer to the 'olden days' as the black and white days!

When I was about 4 we were walking home one night and I pointed out that one particular star in the sky looked brighter than the rest. "That's the North Star" my dad said, "I once jumped out of that on a parachute" I believed that for years! It sort of made my dad a hero!
When I had my own son, he once came home from his grandad's announcing "Mum, you never told me that Grandpa once jumped out of the North Star!"

Looking at the sky when it was about to rain my mum would say " it looked black over bills mothers"
I never knew a Bill let alone his mother but I still say it to this day!!
:hihi: :loopy:

I was always mithering my mother for a piece of chewing gum and she always refused saying in an ominous tone, that I would only swallow it!! Eventually she gave in...and yes...I had that gum in my mouth for less than a minute before I swallowed it!!:( To this day I can remember the horror I felt as it slid down my throat!!)
"Will I die", I asked my Mother...fully convinced that this was indeed going to be the scenario!! :gag:
I think I will have my tombstone enscribed with "The Chewing Gum got her in the end!" :gag:

I believed that all old gentlemen were good kind grandfatherly types, in fact a bit like Santa whom of course I always believed in

My nan always said that ladies couldn't whistle ~ I always made sure I didn't in her presence :o :(

I thought all cats were girls and all dogs were boys!! Ah those were
the days!

When I was young my dad always said, if you watch too much television you end up with square eyes.
mind you he also said, if you eat too may chips you end up with a square arse

Anybody else hear these sayings before, or was it just my dad.
