Strange Things...

[Jemisa]

Looking back I remember some of the daft things I thought were true at the time.... I thought at 16 a Blow Job was a hairstyling technique....
At 10 yrs I thought if a man & woman danced together it meant they wanted a baby.... Also at 10 yrs I thought when I saw a woman heavily pregnant I thought she was disfigured like a man who had a hump on his back, & felt sorry for 'em.

Did you think strange things as a kid?

There were three of us, so I thought my mum and dad had had sex three times!

When I started doing gymnastics when I was little, a friend told me my legs would fall if if I did a cartwheel while wearing a leotard :-0

I believed her!

[albaqwerty]

lol maggie, my sons (2 of them) thought that too

When I was about 7, I asked mum and dad why weren't roads built straight as they were in 'Roman times'
The answer was 'it makes the journey more interesting'
I bought that for a few years.

mum told me that the cemetery was where they bury people. I hated walking thru there because i thought someone might pop up and try to bury me

When I was nine, I remember reading a story on the front of my Dads newspaper about a nine year old girl ( somewhere in Africa, I think ) who had just had a baby!
I was terrified, I kept thinking, that could be me, I'm nine.
I thought babies just happened to you , like measles or chicken pox.
It worried me so much that Mum sat me down and ve me the birds and bees talk, and a book to read........what a relief. X

Any chance of a hair do.....?

[tonyav]

LOL ?.

[cupid04]

lol!^^

[cupid04]

Shoota, have you still got any hair?

[boxtops]

My elderly grandmas told me

If you stand on your head, all your innards rush up to your head
You mustn't wash your hair with the window open
You mustn't wash your hair while you have a period
Apple seeds grow into trees in your stomach if you eat the core

and so on. It must have been a very fearful time for them, they really believed these things.

OH's mum (who was just deterring him) told him that if he fiddled with his belly button, his bum would unscrew and fall off.

I was led to believe that the odd times I had swallowed a prune stone that a tree would grow out of my bottom! I was 11 at the time.

[boxtops]

ah prudie - my grandma never told me where the tree would come out, I'd assumed it was upwards!

[albaqwerty]

parents can be cruel :-)

Told mine for ages that the chimes meant the ice cream van had run out

[boxtops]

when I was 16, I'd never even heard of a blow job.

[tonyav]

My mom used to tell me ( as a small boy ) that if you touched a Dandelion you would wee yourself.

[shoota]

Cupes - I have so much hair..........

[boxtops]

Ah tony, that's not a fib, dandelions are a diuretic!

[albaqwerty]

at the age of 48, I was asked to stop referring to beejay as BJ, never even crossed my mind :-D
I think Bigjack had a similar problem when referring to his good lady.

[albaqwerty]

If dandelions are a diuretic, what on earth does the burdock do?

I'm curious.

[tonyav]

So mom was right then, boxy.
