... and possibly beyond?

I was always told zebras were actually horses in pjs ready for bed. I was about 14 beside I realised they were actually different animals

My parents also used to tell me that the ice cream van played music when they’d run out of ice cream. Mean b*stards

Anyone else?

My Nan ruined my future relationship with bananas by telling me there was a spider at the top end and that's why you had to bite it off and throw it away....

That there was an actual man living in the moon.

My dad also used to tell me about various animals who used to visit our tiny garden whilst my brother and I slept. I don't mean foxes or hedgehogs, but emus and elephants.

I fully believed him til I was about 6/7.

My best mates gran told me, that your boobs kept growing southwards until they hit your knees. Unless you had an operation to make them smaller. I genuinely believed her for years

I was always convinced the man in the moon was following me until I was far too old to still believe it

Our mother said that the inspector from the council came regularly to make sure houses were clean and tidy, so that we would tidy our bedrooms I still believed it when I grew up and had my own council house

I had a (male) boss when I had a Saturday job who told me boobs grew bigger if you swallowed cum Slightly icky in hindsight. I was 15.

On the 24th of December a man with a beard and a red suit would come down our chimney and leave us presents bearing in mind we didn’t have a proper fire place it was an electric fire and a fairy left me 50p every time my teeth fell out

Somewhere In The Ether…

I was told by my mum not to pull faces as if the wind changed I’d stick like it.

All well and good....until she told me off one day for innocently asking if this was the reason the man across the road looked the way he did

Love these. The little man in the fridge makes perfect sense

I remember doing “this little piggie” with my children when it suddenly occurred to me that the little piggie wasn’t going to market to buy a new dress but to become bacon

Also a fully grown adult before I realised sea horses weren’t actually mythical creatures and actually existed. Believe it or not I have three degrees Just incredibly naive/dippy

I always believed that if you looked into the mirror and said beetlejuice three times something very bad would happen! I'd always get as far as two and then freak out. I still try to do it now but I'm too chicken.
