I used to think............

1) When I heard records on the Radio I thought the band/singer was actually in the studio and everything was live.

2) When watching Sussex play 3 day games my Dad would say towards the end of the day that the next batsman was a "nightwatchman". I thought the poor sod had to sit up all night and watch the Ground !!:dunce:
 












I remember a young sprog who, when his Dad was leaving home for an evening match, asked how they could play in the dark.
He was told that everybody parked their cars round the pitch and turned on their headlights.
Being fully aware that Dads knew everything, he believed this for years (I think, deep down, he still does)

Me too!! I wondered how they knew if he fell asleep if everyone else was asleep...

I believed the old "eat and orange seed and a tree will come out your ear" one..

My Mum always used to say when she was driving and people annoyed her that she would love to own a foam car so she could run into them to teach them a lesson but not hurt them...I so much wanted to buy her one and looked for one for years!!

and for years I walked home from school not stepping on lines or cracks "Step on a line you break your Mum's spine, Step on a crack break your Dad's back"...

:blush:

I used to believe;

(1) That thunder was caused by clouds bumping into each other!

(2) That ladies had a stump where their willies had been cut off!

My mate also believed that if you screamed a word down the speakers of your TV set the presenters in Blue Peter would say that word :shootself

I used to believe a mythical creature called the Bunyip(like big foot but nastier) existed, and thus whenever the family went to the bush for a BBQ i'd refuse to get out fo the car for fear this effing great creature would come charging through the bush and rip my family to pieces.

I used to believe if ever i heard a noise at night in the house it was a ghost.

I used to believe if i went swimming in the sea a shark would eat me.

I used to think the world revolved upside down whilst we were asleep at night, and returned to normal by the morning. I never understood why my stuff wasn't scattered all over the place afterwards though.
