My mum told me you have to own more than one goldfish else it will die of loneliness (we had a goldfish that died a few days after we bought it). I believed it for a long time.

When I was little my mum told me Dr Banados - the charity shop on our high street was where you left naughty children. She used to pretend to phone them to come and get me, I used to be hysterical crying, then I cant remember what I did she left me outside drove round the corner, I wasnt even very naughty.
I was about to post the same thing as well as when you hear people laugh on tv I was convinced that you could other people who were in their homes so i would always laugh behind a cushion my brother asked me what was doing and when I told him he took the piss for years even convinced me we could speak through the tv and he would hear it cue my mum thinking i was crazy sat yelling at the tv
We

They don't
(I genuinely had to Google this as i wasnt sure if it was a joke or not lol)
This reminds me of the Banff unicorn video on YouTube. (Except that wasn't a reindeer , it was an elk or something).
Although when I first saw a reindeer, they were much smaller than I expected.
We called super noodles “wriggly worms” in my house. It wasn’t until I went to uni that I realised we were the only ones
We also said the “mucky pub” and “mucky beer”, my husbands thinks I’m daft.

My family used to call Parmesan "Sweaty Socks". I was a bit disheartened to discover no one else did.
My family called the TV remote control 'the twitcher', still do this day I call it that. And my mum never liked the word fart, so they were 'blow-offs'.
That's a really horrible thing to do to a childWhen I was little my mum told me Dr Banados - the charity shop on our high street was where you left naughty children.

My mother used to do something similar to me. There was a really big detached house with huge gates near where we lived and my mother used to tell me that bold children were put in there for adoption, and that she'd put me in there.
Until I was in my mid 30’s I thought the phrase “lovely weather for ducks” was mean because I didn’t realise ducks were waterproof.
I also worked with a woman who was ADAMANT that you HAD to eat Corned Beef ‘Ash on Ash Wednesday and that they had it every year. She got really cross when none of us knew what she was talking about.

I wouldn’t say it’s stupid as I really wish it was true in some way especially now I’m a mum myself and my mum is getting older but back when I was little I used to think people didn’t die, that when you reached a certain age you’d turn into a giant and we’d all go live in giant land 
My mum told me that the cows had Velcro on there feet to stay up on hillsWhen 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
I still get laughed at about it now
My own dad told me this as a kid.
OMG this is brilliant
It might be true! Normally when you have flat areas and there are a random hill it will have fossils in or underneath itWe have a massive hill outside our family home my dad used to tell me it was a dinasour and his tb Jag was a dinasour bite
Very sadThat's a really horrible thing to do to a child
I used to think your hair grew from the ends. Believed that until I was 13
My Mum also used to pretend to phone the naughty boys and girls home to come and take us away if we misbehaved. The home in question was near our house and was later in the news because kids there were abused.
