I used to prostrate to red head lizard when I lost my teeth.

I belief throwing the removed teeth on the roof with seven stones and also begging the lizard not to remove it again will make my teeth intact.

I alway wonder where a child comes frm when a woman is pregnant, and i was told and i believed that dey come frm the anus. I also believed that wen u teeth falls off, u must throw it on the roof of a house, otherwise it will never grow back. I also believed that women gets pregnant wen a male pee into their organs during intercourse; i tried it, did not work and the bigger boys then told me i did it wrong.

ledafaze: 1. Never spit on the floor cos if you do and someone steps on it, it takes away your voice grin grin

What I believed then is if someone steps on it, you would have sore throat. Then, I always look for a gutter to spit.
Even till now, anytime I spit on the floor, would use my leg to clean it sharp sharp! grin grin grin grin

As a Nigerian kid I believed we are the leaders of tomorrow - politically.

Alas how can we be, when the then leaders are yet to die or leave the position

My dad used to tell us that God has only one eye and it's bigger than the whole world. And that eye sees everyone no matter where you hide to do evil for sure hell fire awaits you. I was not afraid of the hell fire as i was afraid of the big one eye my prayer back then was never to see that eye in the dark.

I believed every trash that came my way as a kid - Call me the super gullible kid and u wouldnt be far from the truth cheesy

Cant have all of them stipulated on here but the arguably biggest one was that ''I was made to believe that every fruit seed that awkwardly gets swallowed would surely throw up a tree in ya belly'' - I cried myself to stupor the day an orange seed found its way to my stomach.

A decade has gone and am yet to feel some branches in there grin

When I was like 4yrs old, my neighbor's house help-Chimobi told me this ridiculous lie that I didn't figure out till I was 9.

He told me that Micheal Jackson drove a plane straight to heaven. He said, he just kept on driving the plane, "up, up, uupp, up...!" And that when he got to the door of heaven, God was so mad at him because no earthly man was so supposed to see him but he was impressed by Micheal Jackson's dedication and commitment to find him. Thereby, he gave Micheal Jackson those glittering(shine-shine) socks he usually wears anytime he performs. Every time Micheal wore those socks, he would be able to dance so beautifully; the socks was the magic behind Micheal Jackson's dancing.

I did believed that if you scrap the last portion of food and eat it directly from the pot, rain will fall on your wedding day. It doesn't matter if it is raining or dry season. For a long time, I missed the last portion on jollof rice.


Also, I did believe that if rain is falling and the sun is shining, it means an Elephant has given birth.

uj_sizzle: I remember watching Bill Cosby's 'Kids Say', and it occurred to me how as kids we had some real weird imaginations, had silly things we believed or just swallowed the lies our parents and elder kids told us hook line and sinker; ofcourse until aftersometime in our adult life we realized we'd been real silly grin

Here are a list of things I thought and believed...
You can add yours too tongue

*I believed in the Tooth fairy(courtesy of cartoons), only ish was in Nigeria our tooth fairies were actually rats. Mum would tell me to keep my tooth safe after it'd fallen off or the rats would eat it and i'll have rat teeth cry. I guarded my tooth with my life.

*I always wondered how Santa would drop me gifts since we didn't have a chimney. I bothered dad so much about adding a chimney to the roof for Santa n begged him to buy a Christmas tree too. I got the tree but not the chimney, and I never saw Santa.

*Everytime I saw Always sanitary pad advert, i'd ask mum why they poured that blue liquid on it. When I saw her own pad I was so excited, I spent over a week searching for where she hid the blue liquid. I got a lashing for all my troubles undecided

*My dad is dark and mum fair. I have two fair siblings, while my bro n I are dark skinned. I concluded dad birthed us and mum had the other two.

*When I finally discovered only women had kids, I kept wondering why we were dark. My little mind concluded the doctors colored us whichever way our parents wanted. I was gonna have red babies like the red Indians cool

*When I was 6, my classmate told me we could turn cabin biscuit to chocolate by frying. I got home and emptied half a pack of cabin in the pan--all I got was charred biscuit afterwards. I still believed I had done it wrong till I turned 10..before I finally realized that cabins weren't chocolates grin

*After a bout of chicken pox, I refused to eat chicken for the next 5yrs...my parents had to convince me I hadn't contracted it from an actual chicken tongue

*I believed covering my head with a blanket would keep the monsters away embarassed

*Things acted in Sci Fi movies were real. I wondered why our car couldn't fly.

*Whenever I swallowed an orange seed, i'd go to sleep really scared wondering when the tree would grow outta my belly.

*If u stood up while eating all the food would settle on your feet.

*Food sacrifices left in the center of a 3-way junction were taken away by real spirits grin
You were really a mumu sha o...lol
