Yup...i had my share of stupid beliefs! here are a few:
1) I used to believe that an "Air Guitar" was a real guitar, just like an acoustic/bass/electric guitar. So whenever theres the advert for 'best air guitar anthems' came on, the moto was "get your free air guitar now!" i used to think "ooh wow! a free guitar with a CD! how amazing!"

Still aint proper worked it all out yet.
Christmas is always 25th December, no matter where you live. Their winter is however is our summer and our summer is their winter. That's true.
It being sunny on other places on earth while it's dark here has nothing to do with the southern or northern hemispheres, it's the position they are placed. Alaska is on the northern hemisphere but it's around 12+hours outside GMT. Whereas South Africa is on the southern hemisphere but would be pretty much the same GMT as us. Get me now?
The obvious one's for me are Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.
great way for you to be taught not to talk to dodgy white van men though!
I mistakenly thought the foo fighters song was called monkey's freind
"don't wana be your monkey's freind...doo doo doo...."
True about thw white van men but much more scared of dogs!
What is the song called?
Monkey Wrench
I used to think there were bad guys in my basement, so when the lights were off I would run as fast as I could upstairs, and I would also sleep with lots of blankets by my stomache to pretend I was fat to ward off any bad people as they wouldn't be able to lift me then
Oh! ok, thanks! Save me embarrassing myself in public!
Lol! I would never have thought of that, you're a genius!
Aww, you poor thing!
My brothers used to tell me things along those lines, too. The memorable one is the threat of being "taken back to the baby shop". Though it did always make me behave... and do whatever they told (so basically force me into slave duty, and mean I had to give them all my sweets) :impissed:
I used to think people in Africa went to bed during the day because it was dark during the day and light during the night in Africa :yes:
Hope you have got your brothers back for that now!
When my sister came along, I think mum had got bored of the Man with the Van and so she used to tell Rebecca (my sister) that the goblins would come and take her away after we watched Labrinth! Mum would just shout "I wish I wish the goblins would come and take you away" whenever she was naughty, then we would then all pretend that Rebecca had disappeared even though she was there screaming, kicking, pinching, shouting etc but eventually she would calm down and then "appear" again.
I used to believe that 'not tested on animals' meant that it (eg shampoo) was safe for humans but not for animals.
Listen to the girl, Jim V.
Oh I blieved those too.
Yer... But realised really quickly it was not the case...
