When I was little my uncle told me that if you peeled an orange in one go, the peel would look like an elephant's head and I believed it for years.

I also believed my airing cupboard was a secret passage to Narnia or similar.

What crazy things did you believe as a little 'un?

I thought GUM got stuck in your stomach for seven years if you swallowed, but so did my mom. I think she still thinks that actually.

My ex and his mom (she still believes this xD) and a ton of people in Brazil apparently believed or believes that if you ate grapes and then drank milk together, you'd get some sort of bad reaction and then die.

When I was younger, I theorized that everyone in the womb had a penis, but then just for some people when they came out and it touched air it inverted itself, thus making a vagina!
