i used to believe that if you farted soooo hard that your butt would explode becuase i knew this lady, who had a huge butt so i figured she just farted all the time...i dont know how i came up with this

SILLY SILLY SILLY LILY

when I was young I used to believe that underwear was a filter for farts. so then I thought that if I didn't wear any underwear they could smell worse. then I decided to play a joke on my brothers. so one day my brothers were in the living room watching TV. I decided not to wear any underwear, just my pants and I started running in circles and farting really hard and loud in the living room with my brothers in it so they could smell it. I had eaten a can of beans that day. And I kept saying, my farts are not filtered. but then, to my surprise, one of the farts came out wet and from that day on I always wore a pair.

I believe that if you ate beans you would fart so hard you could fly

If I farted around my sister when I was younger, she would tell me, "Girls aren't supposed to fart. I've never farted in my entire life." She had a innocent little girl year old thinking something was wrong with her for the next few years.

When my brother Paul was a young child, he would fart constantly! This earned him the nickname of "Stinky." My sister and I would yell at him all the time to stop, saying it was disgusting. My mother would DEFEND him, saying,"Leave the baby alone! It's POISON! If he holds it in, it will make him SICK! He must've really believed her, because today, he is 32 years old, and he hasn't changed one stinkin' bit...

I used to believe that people only fart when they drink Pepsi.And farts were produced to tease people with bad smell.If we smelled those farts , we could even die.

I used to believe that if you could just let one big fart out you would never have to fart again. I also didn't think that my parents had ever farted in their lives.

i used to belive farting made me magic and i could fly with all the gas, but that didnt work

I used to think people farted whenever they drove by a gas station without stopping there, and that's why it's called "passing gas." It never occurred to me that it didn't always happen.

Ahh, childhood...so many stories.

A friend of my moms (still friends) use to tell me and my brother not to fart around cigarettes or a match cause our butts would 'blow off'. I wasn't afraid of something that never happened so on that same day we went to pick up my mom from work, I leaned to the front seat and asked.

"Mommy, if I put a match to my butt and fart...will it blow up?"

There was a pause, my mom looked at her friend and her friend looked like a frog holding in air, then BOOOOM!! Burst of laughter and I knew that the woman friend was lying the whole time.

gas bubble will pop out and explode in your face, well thats what someone told me anyway.

Susan

When I was 5 my brother told me to strech a huge wad of gum over my bum. And then fart to make fart bubbles.This was fun

I used to believe that if you farted when it was cold it would look green instead of the normal steam that your breath makes.

I had heard the term "old fart" used disparagingly since as far back as I can remember but I didn't know why "old and "fart" went together but I was never short on imagination. My *final conclusion* as a kid of about six or seven was the result recalling a kind of "fecal" odor that I often smelled when my granduncle (Who was *very* close to me and took me absolutely everywhere with him right up until his death -- just one week before my 9th birthday.) stopped to chat up some rather elderly men, some about his age, most were older. Although my granduncle himself had no such odor I suddenly had the thought that when people got very old, especially men, they couldn't control their bowels very well and no longer could wipe their bums very effectively.Thus, the term "old fart" suddenly *made sense* to me!
I believed this for a very long time and I still don't know the *actual* origin of the term, "old fart."
