What was something silly you believed as a kid?

I assumed you could put a letter on a carrier pigeon and be like, Take this to my friend's house. And the pigeon would just know where to go through pigeon magic. So let me know what some of yours are. I think it would be funny to hear

I think I was seven years old when one of my friends told me that you would get sick on your face if you counted the stars in the sky. And I believed her. And I didn't look up at the sky for the longest time until somebody proved me wrong. And I felt it's like a complete idiot. But it's something I laugh about today because I don't know what it is. I believe that

Girls get pregnant from holding their hand. Lol

Greetings Tribe. As a kid, I used to believe that by holding girls hands that you could get them pregnant. And I remember one of my first quote, unquote girlfriends in first grade. All she wanted to do was hold my hand in the playground. And it was like a big thing back then. As a child, like, Whoa, you're holding so and so hands. What? And then they start making nursery rhymes. After you, Aaron and Jen sit in a dream

One thing very silly that I used to believe when I as a kid any time we used to go and drive somewhere and we used to go on any road trip certified was just driving anywhere and we used to pass by cemetery. I used to go and hold my breath until we until we passed by the Cemetery. And it was a pretty stupid thing I did

And for all the people, you could imagine that until maybe I became 20. When I saw a child doing this bad habit, I told Tim, your knees will become bigger and bigger and kill you. I believed it until 20. So this is the most mysterious thing for me. Thanks

When I was a child, I thought that if I heard an artist singing on the radio, that they were actually singing live from the radio station with their full band and backup singing singers. And I knew what records were, but I didn't understand that you could play them on the radio one day in the car. I think my parents changed the radio station and the same song was playing on another station. And I said, how did the band get from one place to another so quickly

Thanks all! I relate especially to madymz's story about nail biting

The one that I related to the most was the one about your mom cautioning you that if you eat your nails, then they'll grow in your stomach and you'll eventually die because I also, as a kid, grew up biting my nails, and I don't think my mom told me that, but she tried to do everything within her power to keep me from biting my nails
