My mum told me nasty ones and i beleived them lol

She told me there was a little worm that lived up your nose and if you picked your nose he would bite your finger

On halloween if you got out of bed and looked in the mirror after midnight you would see the devil behind you

If you didn't eat ready brek in the winter jack frost would come and get you

Spinach made you strong like popeye

some of these are funny. when i was young i never dropped litter as i was told that the police pick it up and finger print check it and put you in prison! i was obviously young and stoopid. as where the fuck would they have got my prints from.


and one of tracey's is just cracking! after watching silence of the lambs many years back,trace misheard what was said by the prison manager.thus believing that "you could die from swallowing your own cum"
instead of hearing "he died by swallowing his own tongue"!

i thought that "bumming" was if you touched your bum cheeks against another persons bum

similarly most people in our class at primary school seemed to be of the same opinion lol

When I asked my Grandad to do something he didn't want to do, he'd say "i'd love to but I can't, i've got a bone in my leg"

I can't believe I swallowed that one, used to think he had something wrong.

I firmly believed my mum was 29 for about 5 years apparently til I figured out my mum would have had my brother when she was about 8 years old...

When I must have been about 4 or 5ish, I also believed my dolls came to life when I was asleep so I'd lie there pretending to be asleep and opened my eyes REALLY quickly to try and catch them.
