I was like 4, and my Mom told me that when you farted part of your brain melted and fell out of your butt. And when it touched your underwear it would explode! I believed that until I was (1)9!

I am now 19 and 4 months

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.

I believed that when you passed gas, a visible bubble would appear (even when not in the water) and then *pop*, spreading the merriment for everyone within range.

When i was little, whenever someone farted (and it was heard) at my grandmas house, my gran would yell out, 'OH there goes another MOUSE on a MOTORBIKE'

Sad

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

I used to beleieve that farts can make you float.

I had always believed that if you farted, green gas would come out! and if you would breathe it in, your face would turn green! how dumb was i?

I used to believe that if you held a fart in long enough it would come out as a burp.

when i was about six, my dad told me that only girls farted, because he was trying to put the blame of his farts on my step-mum. i believed him up until i was about ten when i realised that boys did indeed fart.

After seeing the Nutty Professor, I was scared to death to fart around a lit match or a stove. I believed that if I farted around these fire hazards that the world would explode into a big-ass mushroom cloud due to gas-caused explosions. One day, I accidentally let one rip after eating several frozen burritoes. I was terrified to realize that I let one go near my aunt's gas stove. The gas was on high while the stove was cooking my aunt's boiled eggs. I ran away screaming for my life like a savage/ Running outside flailing my arms around at every passing car that the world was going to explode any minute because I farted a big one.

Man, I was dumb.

When I was a child, well after being potty trained, but before ever experiencing or even imagining such thing as a "wet fart", I was nonetheless scared to death for some reason of farting when I was naked. I was afraid that somehow if I farted when naked, I was in grave danger of doing more than a fart and spraying doodoo all over the room. But when ever I had so much as just panties on, I farted fearlessly, never expecting it to soil my panties. So I can't imagine why the thought of farting naked was fraught with such apprehensions of something I'd never known to happen!

My mom's friend would tell me that if someone farted you had to say a number and who ever said a number last ate the fart. LOL

Anon

i used to think if you didnt fart you would float away into the sky because i was weird like that. that was 23 years ago

When I was about six or seven my Dad told me that the hospital sold corks for children who farted too much to hold it all in! I believed him for quite some time.... at least it got me to go away from him to fart I guess.

One day I passed gas and my daughter was right there (she was 3 at the time). I told her it was a low flying duck and to this day everytime she lets one go she says, "daddy I have a duck in my pants." Funny.
