If Everybody In China................

[LeonBlank1995]

If everybody in China jumped off a chair at once, it would cause an earthquake.

My question. Apart from the obvious, e.g. Father Christmas, Tooth Fairy etc. What silly things were you told in infancy that you believed for a while?

If you're good God will welcome you in Heaven, if you're bad Satan will burn you eternally in Hell.

We're all equal and politicians are normal people.

When the ice-cream van was playing its chimes, that meant that they'd sold out of ice cream.

Whenever we visited Felixstowe when I was a kid, my dad would always say "We'll walk up to far end of the seafront, as there's a bit more sand (among all the pebbles) on the beach there, for you to build sandcastles". I could never really see a lot of difference but, if my dad said it was true, I supposed it had to be.

Even as I grew into adulthood, and walked along Felixstowe seafront, I always looked out for some rare sandy patches among the pebbles at the far end of the beach. It took me 50 years to work out that the real reason my father always wanted to walk to the far end of the beach had nothing to do with the availability of sand; it was simply to get me as far away as possible from all of the fairground rides, amusement arcades and ice cream parlours that he couldn't afford to take me into ;-)

I believed my mother for a long time when she told me that thunder was the sound of clouds bumping into each other ;-)

[eleanor2]

That was for Buen & Jim.

When you heard Mr Softy's jingle, it meant he'd run out of ice-cream.

[Spicerack]

My mum recited quite a lot of poems and songs and told me she wrote them.

my bellybutton was a screw to hold my bum on! spent a lot of time clutching my bum cheeks!

[eve1974]

Buenchico thunder is NOT the clouds bumping into each other - its the elephants moving their furniture. It must be true cos my mum told me!

if it rains whilst the sun is shining it's a monkeys wedding.

If you pick your nose you might pull your brain out (or your cap lining).

My mum and her twin elder were told by their elder sister that they had "Made in Hong Kong" stamped on their rear ends (they were born in Kowloon). They spent many occasions looking in the mirror trying to spot it.

Whats silly about Father Christmas, the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny?

If everybody in China did that and there was an earthquake where the Earth moved, how many women would end up pregnant?

On that thought, how many transgender Olympian New Zealanders would end up pregnant as well?
