When I was younger, I thought that when you farted, a little brown, smelly bubble would pop out of your butt, and then it would pop loudly. When it popped, a nasty-smelling gas would be released, and if some of the gas got on your clothing, you would smell bad forever. This resulted in: a) me looking behind myself after farting (to see the bubble) and b) me jumping as soon as I farted (so no gas got on my clothes!)

when i was 8 or 9 i used to think that when i farted i couldn't breath in. that was cuz if something can smell so bad, then it MUST be poison

out of breath

I remember being at a restaurant when I was little and my mom said something about the Nazis "gassing the Jews" and I thought she was saying "gassing the juice". I figured it meant when you try to fart but it squirts instead. I couldn't understand why my mom would be talking about something so disgusting while we were eating. (I guess what she was actually talking about wasn't very pleasant dinner conversation either.)

I used to believe that if you stood in front of an open woodstove when it was hot, and farted, the tozic fumes of the fart would catch fire. I tried this many times, and so did my brother, but alas we could never make our farts catch fire.

when i was younger... i used to cry every time i would fart... b/c my friend told me once, that if you farted too much... you would lose all the air inside of you-- and deflate lke a big balloon.

I have a friend who things that if you don't let all the air out when you yawn it will turn into a burp and if you dont burp it'll turn into a fart

I used to believe that if I pumped in my sleep and breathed it in I would turn into a rotting turnip!

When I Was Little I Used To Think That When You Farted Your Butt Was Trying To Talk. SO Whenever Someone Farted I'd Say "Your Butt Talked".

In my first year of pre school i still hadn't quite figured out that it is inpolite to rip farts in public, so the first time i walked in after i introduced myself i proceded to rip a huge fart right in front of everyone.

my mom told me that if i held in too many farts, i would explode. i took it seriously.

I used to think that you could get balloons only at a gas station, where a line of men would fart into it until it was full.

I used to believe you could fart a bubble from swallowed gum and float away.....

Michele

when i was a kid i used to think farts were another person in my tummy talking and he had bad breath

I used to believe that if you sniffed a really stinky fart, it would poison your insides and die.

I used to believe that whenever my dad farted (which he did WAY to much) that it was a duck quacking somewhere.

When I was young I believed that if you farted while you were at a gas station, that you had to hold your breath or the gas thingies would explode.
I also belived for a while that if you farted while you were next to a lamp, and if you farted right on the light bulb, it would turn on. Lol. :3

When i was about 4 or 5 i used to think if you farted really loud that it would rip through your pants and make a hughe hole so i used to always hold them (not a good idea)

Upon asking my mum why she never farted, she told me that mum's couldn't fart after having children, because it messed up 'that' part of your body. And I think I actually believed it well into my teens!

I used to think that when somebody farted, little black dots came out that looked like pepper specks.
