I thought eating raw potatoes would give me worms.

That I could get pregnant from sitting on the lap of the guy who I called my uncle (he was a friend of and student of my parents, was at our house all the time). I had a massive crush on him for a while. I knew nothing about sex (and this was late elementary school/early middle school), so I was convinced I could get pregnant from hugging him or sitting on his lap.

I believed in the Ty-D-Bowl man. OK I was really little at the time but I'm told I used to look for him in the toilet tank.

I used to think that if I breathed while going by a cemetery I would be cursed.

Hell, I still hold my breath passing by cemeteries;;

For some reason, when I was little my mom told me some crazy story about how Arnold Schwarzenegger had some accident where he lost his hearing for awhile and when it came back he had to relearn to talk and that's why his voice sounded different than the people I knew.

Why she couldn't have just said "people from different countries sound different", I don't know.

That is... really, kinda horrible actually.

ayrt

Yeah, I honestly don't know what she was thinking. I've thought of asking her about it but I doubt she'd remember. She also told my brother and I that our house was buried on an "Indian burial ground" and that some tree roots we found poking through the ground in our crawl space were "Indian bones". She just liked fucking with us, apparently.

Holy hell;; It got worse!
Yeah, not sure what to say about that really. If it's all under the bridge and all that, I guess there's not point in asking her...? But I'm like wracking by brain for something positive to say, and cannot get past the thought of, 'why?!?';; Fucking with you or not, that is just so... yeah;;

ayrt

Yeah. It makes no sense. Honestly, I had a good childhood and have lots of good memories of it, I don't feel like she's a bad mom or anything and we're still close today, but she's definitely done plenty of things that are...questionable, lol.

Well I'm glad for that at least!
tbh my parents have said some odd things in the past themselves, I guess that's just what parents do;;

When I was a pre-teen I knew this teenage girl through church who spoke in a way that I assumed meant she was partly hearing-impaired. One day she said she had a German accent... but went on to say that it was so weird because no one in her family had an accent and no one has any idea where her accent comes from! I never said anything, but even as a kid I was thinking "Honey, no. If you never lived among German-speakers or people with German accents then you don't have a German accent. You sound like you have some hearing/speech problem and this has gone undiagnosed or else either people have lied to you or you are lying to us that this is an accent." She was old enough at that point that I would expect people to have been level with her, but I don't know her situation.

I think it was because of Tales of the Crypt Keeper... (I actually believed a lot because of that show;;)
That eating the seeds of the more spicy peppers could result in a plant growing in your stomach...

I was convinced that I'd fall into the toilet and get stuck whenever I sat down unless I clung onto the edge of the nearest shelf. I was a dumb kid.

Anytime I saw people pulling out the gates when they closed up a store for the night (like at the mall or something), I just assumed they would stay in the store and sleep there.

when I was a really little kid I thought teachers lived in the school

That you needed to eat a spoonful of sugar after a big scare or you'd faint and never wake up. I have no idea where that came from.

For literally years I was convinced I was going to die of Carbon Monoxide poisoning in my sleep. I obsessively insisted on keeping my bedroom window wide open, even during mid-winter, and when it got warm enough in the spring I'd beg my mother to let me sleep in a tent in the yard (which she let me do).

We didn't even have gas heat or anything like that. I just saw an episode of Rescue 911 when I was like eight and my brain was like, "That Could Totally Happen To You At Any Time, Be Terrified."

Looking back, it kind of blows my mind how obvious my anxiety issues were, even then.
