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.
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 tvAs a kid, I used to think that everything in the past was in black-and-white because of old films and TV shows.
We say magic sponge to all the football players who have an "injury" in the game one damp on the magic sponge and they're back up and running around where as before they were crying in pain- seriously watch a football match and see the magic sponge its hilariousWhen I was a little girl my nan used to carry around a ‘magic cloth’ whenever we went to the park to play. One day I remember this little girl falling over and starting to cry because she had hurt herself, I ran over to my nan and said ‘get the magic cloth!’ And I went on to tell this girl that once she had this magic cloth pressed on her injury it would get better- I truly believed this! It was only years later, when my nan had sadly passed when I sat and remember the ‘magic cloth’ it was actually just a wet flannel that she took out in case we injured ourselves to clean the cut/ dirt !! But because my nan made everything so magical I really did think it was! God I miss her so much. Xx
They don'tThey can fly????
This reminds me of the Banff unicorn video on YouTube. (Except that wasn't a reindeer , it was an elk or something).They can fly????
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. 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.
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 41My mum is a very convincing woman!
My own dad told me this as a kid.The summer before I started junior school my older brother told me that they only let you in class if you could do joined up writing in pen without making any mistakes. I spent the whole of the 6 weeks holidays practicing. Was terrified the night before school started.
OMG this is brilliantThat “To Let” signs outside houses actually meant “Toilet” and the i had just been rubbed out.
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 biteps my dad not that old
Very sadThat's a really horrible thing to do to a childMy 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.
