i used to believe that the big water tanks were fart tanks and you were assigned to a color according on what color your house was.
so your parents took you when you were sleeping to the top of the fart tanks and stuck a hose up your butt and pumped all the farts for your whole year on new years eve thats why you stayed up so late so you could get to the tanks first. and so whenever we drove pass a tank i plugged my nose so i didnt have to smell all the farts

fart tank

Up until the age of about 13, whenever I farted or burped when drinking I would use my hand to scoop out all the air from the cup so I wouldn't be drinking my fart =P

Because i could not see them, i thought my farts came out as green bubbles

When I was young I used to believe that when you burp that it was a fart out of your mouth.

I was never allowed to say the word "fart" as a kid, so my brother and I had to say "boop".

I was once told my a elder friend of mine (sure he knew it wasnt true) that in his school, the teacher's chair had a pipe connect from the middle of the chair to the toilet to enable him to fart. He also told me that the students would know, when the teacher attempts to align when he is seated.

I was probably 7 or 8 then, and gave a hard thought to the story, I was half hearted to believe as I didnt see any such thing in my school. But eventually did decide to believe after 3 days of 'deliberation' with myself.

Back with a was a really little kid, I used to believe that if I fart in my pants, the gas would stay there go back up my butt and cause me to fart over and over. So I used to pull down my pants and underwear whenever I farted. Made for some embarrassing times...

I believed that if you farted and lit a match, there would be an explosion. I tried and it didn't work :(

There's really no polite way to say this, but for the longest time, I never knew that boys...well, fart. At home, it was always just me and my mom, and of course it never came up at school.

Then when I was ten, my step-brother came along. He wasn't shy by any means, and he left me astounded, frankly.

Even now, four years later, the idea of both sexes farting still seems so weird, I still can't bring myself to do it in front of him. I always have to trot off to the bathroom, cheeks firmly squeezed....

I was always very close to my grandmother. She was very proper...always a lady. One day out of nowhere she passed gas...I went running into the kitchen, because I couldn't believe what I'd heard, and she looked at me and simply said "Did you see that barking spider?" From that point on I would say that at home to my parents because I believed there truly were barking spiders!

Now a Mom and know better

For the longest time, I never thought farting was rude or anything. It's just as natural as breathing; how was I supposed to know doing it in public was socially frowned upon?

At home, my sister and I would fart freely, whenever we felt the need, and my parents (though somewhat more inhibited) weren't especially shy, either. I only learned otherwise after one particularly embarassing incident in grade school. ]_]
