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

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?

Dont be scared if you hear thunder-its only God having his coal delivered!

When I worked in a newsagents shop, a boy came in with a very runny nose.Instead of telling him to blow his nose his mother told him "Sniff up, it makes brains!"

Thunder is God emptying the coal into the bunker. Lightning was him striking a match to see if it had all gone in.

Lady CG, why didn't your mum and her twin look at each others bottoms?

But to be serious for a second, would anything happen?

I was told that thunder was my granny moving furniture in heaven

I hated cabbage as a child, still do. My mother told me the box of chocolates that had just arrived in a food parcel from Australia (this was war time or just after) which she ate all to herself, had cabbage in them.

When my father used to drive me past a butcher's shop with rabbits ? maybe lambs hanging in the window, he told me they were little chinese baby girls. This was in the 60s during their revolution. Also when he used to talk about his "coloured" fellow musicians, I used to think they were like the multicoloured clowns with their pointy hats .

If you eat your crusts of bread, it will make your hair curly lol lol.

When it was pouring with rain and i had to walk to school, my mum would say "Oh, youll be alright, just walk between the spots!"

When I first started work, our boss sent a young lad round to the ironmongers for some 12 inch sky hooks and a pot of tartan paint! He came back soon after and told the boss they were ordering them for him straight away and they would have them in the following week!

When I was a kid my dad told me that CID was Constables In Disguise. I felt totally humiliated in my teens, when I announced this to a pub crowd after someone asked what it meant and I was then told no, it's Criminal Investigation Department.
