Oh the sweet innocence of childhood.
When we were kids i used to believe

that kids fall from the sky
Into mommy's tummy of course.
You know after she and daddy held hands and prayed then they'll go to bed and the baby will fall spiritually into mommy's tummy.

that the boogey man comes if we cry at night
Our dad would threaten to call the boogey man A.K.A ojuju calabar if we cry or make noise at night. Y'all need to see how very quiet we'd become afterwards.

that throwing our tooth up the roof would make it grow again
So a fallen tooth is careful tossed up the roof while we we wait for it to somehow get into our mouths and grow again
Wow. How gullible we were as kids.

Add yours.

that the shadow image on the moon was a man who was breaking firewood on xmas day..

Spitting into the toilet would cause Sore throat
Swallowing of orange seeds would make them grow into a tree from within us
babies developed in the womb due to overfeeding
Combining Mango and Fanta would result in death
So many, would update if I remember more.

Coconut water is only meant for adults and if children drink it, they will become dundee and not know book again...

Tooth ferry.

When you loose a tooth, you put it in a shoe and slide it under your bed and the tooth ferry will collect it and leave money

When I was a kid, I was so mischievious that many thing they asked me not to do, I do... I looked inside the mirror, drank the communion wine, ate the communion (my friends were mass servers)... I am just suprised that I am now a very quiet guy now that I am old.. God really saved me

KingMEXX: Swallowing of orange seeds would make them grow into a tree from within us

I was fond of swallowing udara(agbalumo) seed. To see if it would grow in my tummy.that's how much I loved the fruit then.

nbright: Tried it when I went to saturday market @ Rumuomasi in P/H.. I was slapped alright... But fortunately not by a spirit/witch..

I'm sure it was a lady who slapped u. She probably thought u were a perv. curiosity kills the cat.

I was always asking her when i'm going to grow up.. Lol.
Now when i remember that, it makes me laugh.. How can somebody grow up to be another person.. Kids..
