Things you believed as children....

Can't really think of anything other than Santa. I felt lied to when I learned the truth.
Oh, maybe the tooth fairy?

I was devistated to hear Father Christmas didn't exist.

I though cats were the girls and dogs were the boys.

No I haven’t carried that into adulthood.

Oh dear because I have lots...

I though Sean and Shawn had different pronunciations is another one

Also I learnt that the little piggy didn't go to market to buy groceries...

I believed that the head of the Roman Catholic Church was called The Poke, and he used the pastoral staff for poking.

There were fairies at the bottom of my garden and I was found under a gooseberry bush. I did not bring either into adulthood!

I thought that people grew smaller as they aged because my elderly great aunt was a similar height to me!

That reminded me that somebody I worked with had a pet pig called Curlywee. She came into work one day to say he’d gone to market and because I sounded so shocked she said ‘oh only visiting’.

Uh oh... Me too

Juliet that made me laugh, I think I put them together with the 3 little pigs so all the little piggies wore dungarees and definitely weren't bacon

If you swallowed bubbly gum it stuck your lungs together. I had one or two panics growing up after accidentally swallowing it.
If the wind changed when you were pulling a face it’d stay like that (your face I mean).
That I was a shoe in to be a member of pans people when I got to 16.

Definitely Father Christmas.
That I wouldn't get old!
That Dr's made you better? ?

Correction---
That Dr's ALWAYS made you better.

There was a shed on the top of the mountain where the water changed direction.

A neighbor told me that if I swallowed an apple pip, an apple tree would grow in my tummy, spent a lot of time worrying about that one.

I can relate <3

That eating my crusts would give me curly hair.

Father Christmas of course. That my dad was and would always be my hero; wrong I'm afraid and that unlike sticks and stones, words could never hurt me.

Wrong again.

Living in a farming area I thought turf accountants sold fields

I was amazed when I discovered Enid Blyton was a woman. I’d never heard the name Enid, and I suppose I thought well-known authors must be men. That was only when I was a child, though.

I didn’t eat crusts because I had curly hair.

My father and older sister told me all about the film matinées for dogs after the children's films had finished on a Saturday morning. They explained that the chair seats tipped up so that dogs could sit on top and see the screen and that the usherettes came around in the interval with trays of dog biscuits. Of course, the films screened included Lassie and Rin Tin Tin.

I cried my self to sleep when I realised that they were making it all up.
