author=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

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

*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 . 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

*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

*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

*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

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


*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 [/quote] hahahahahahahahaha reconstructed brain and thinking wisely now.

Freiburger: Always thought the father Christmas came from New zealand

Made to believe that if you like or love someone and you don't know how to go about it as a kid,just try and find when and where the girl urinAte and immediately she urinate just put ur own urine on it,told she would later like or love you but I got it wrong when I urinate on lola's urine and I tot she would start liking me but I got it wrong when I involved her in a deadly play by droping down our money for food in the schl then,I called her if she was the one that got the money on ground and she immediately said she was the owner of the 50kobo meant for me and my sister,guys this small tory no be small thing as we needed to involve our teacher and a friend that witness that the money was mine,it was then I realise av been fool by the fact that if you urinate on somebody urine d person would like you

I used to believe dat wen Sumone is fat he or she doesn't get hungry....

* if i blow a whistle at nite, it wil attract a snake
* if i swallow any fruit's seed, it wil start germinating 4rm my stomach
* if i loose one of my teeth, i'l pick small stones equivalent wt my age nd throw them up on d roof, else d fallen tooth won't b replaced... Funny gud old days

Even to this day, I have heard adults and oldies yearning on how pythons 'shit' diamonds which they use in finding their way around. Some things/tales never change.

Wu Zetian: 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.

how old are u? Micheal jackson? Damn, micheal was just 51 when he died.

I used to believe then if something falls on the floor, the devil has tasted it, so i will leave it there.

Who remember's " Agbalumo daa omi sugar omo oba lo fe mu"

Was thinking "Gold circle" then was an airfreshner, i told my dad to buy it one day at a shop and he shot me up !

Thought we were all birth through the anus

I believed the animals in folktales
1.Tortoise could talk and scheme. Still difficult to see it as an ordinary animal
2. Hated toad for telling God humans wanted to be dying. Killed any toad we saw and organized a mock funeral for it

RINE.:
Drinking coconut water as a pupil would make one dull.

I stil believe this til now o, always scared of tasting it not to talk of even drinking it

Use to watch kingkong movie with our 4 legs black and white TV when he carried that lady on his hand, never knew it was a film trick.

crackhouse: how old are u? Micheal jackson? Damn, micheal was just 51 when he died.

And he wasn't dancing when we were kids?? Doubt u understood her story

pumpingmachine: me too. I used to strike a pose. I remember when my hand was on a girl's bossom and thunder struck. I felt sick for weeks cos of the evidence waiting for me

hahahahahahahahaha guy u don make me laf nw I don dey piss for my pant

That the white man that dug water Wells went home from the bottom of the well.

that Zik of Africa put Mermaid into a bottle.

If you lie with the name of God, thunder will strike you when it is raining.

Believing God lives in heaven,jesus died for the sins of the world, the devil is black,i will go to hell if i do not pay my tithes......loads of other silly ideas!

*Believed dat wen a dog is pooing and we lock our fore fingers 2geda, de dog won't be able to poo again.

*Wen 2 dogs are mating and u hit a nail into the ground dey wld never separate until de nail is removed.

*Wen we killed a lizard and it's facing up, it's praying to God for vengeance.

*Thought sex was a sin even for married people. Remembered I cried wen some1 told me my parents are having sex.......lol

That if i die, i might go to heaven or hell

ITbomb: I believed that the first woman was born with a dick but because of disobedience , God cut it off. They later warn me that if I let any girl outside my family members see my dick, it will disappear and I will become a girl.
I kept to that warning diligently untill . . .
