As a child, looking at old black and white photographs I genuinely believed that the world was like that years ago; void of colour. πŸ˜‚

I thought Brussels pate was made from brussel sprouts.
So did my sister, she was trying being veggie at the time and rang me horrified to ask did I know Brussels pate had meat in it, I asked what she thought it was made from and she said well sprouts!! πŸ˜‚

I was a teenager in the early 90s when the first Center Parcs opened. Based on what I had seen in the adverts, it was only a couple of years ago that I realised that it wasn't actually all under a massive glass dome. I'm not an outdoorsy person so never had any desire to go there, it was only when I asked a regular Center Parc visitor that I found out the truth πŸ˜‚

When me and my sister were little my mom
told us on one holiday to Wales that the Welsh sheep have two legs slightly shorter than their other two legs , so when they are on a hill (which there are many in Wales) they don’t roll down it. Making them more balanced. Believed it up until about 5 years ago when I mentioned how clever it was that welsh sheep had evolved this way to work colleagues...I’m 38 years old. My mum couldn’t stop laughing when I told her this and my sister was equally as shocked as me that it wasn’t real, she’s 41 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ My mum is a very convincing woman!
Wait... what - they don't? :eek:
Haha - my dad told me this too and about haggis' in Scotland being little furry animals that ran around. Was definitely in my teens before I realised on both!! x

I was always told 'Red sky at night, barn on fire'

I grew up in the countryside so fully believed this. Think it was my early 20's when I questioned this.

When I was 5 I thought that turning the car light on was illegal. I also believed that babies came out of belly buttons (I don’t have a clue where I got that from). And that if it was thundering outside it was God saying he was angry.

My first wedding as a grown up they asked if I wanted champagne to go with the toast. I politely declined and said I was full after the meal and didn't want any toast. Genuinely thought they were going to bring plates of toast out to eat with champagne after a 3 course meal πŸ˜‚

Up until a few years ago my SIL wouldn't eat mince pies because she thought they were filled with meat. She's 52!!!

My primary school best friend genuinely believed Kylie Minogue was her birth mother as her dad had a crush on her and her family would wind her up every time she was on TV. They told her Kylie gave her up to be a pop star. For years she believed it and would cry every time her music videos were on TV.
