Silly Things You Believed As A Kid? by UjSizzle(f): 12:05pm On Sep 06, 2013 |
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 59 Likes |

1. Never spit on the floor cos if you do and someone steps on it, it takes away your voice 2. Never rule a line in the sand cos if an ant passes thru it, it blinds your moma... 9 Likes |
