when i was young, my aunt would tell me and my cousin that if we fart, she would call the children police and that they would come and arrest us in the middle of night! i would always try to hold it in or wouldn't sleep to see what happens if my brother farts!

When I was about 4 or 5 I used to believe that if I fart and start running round and round the table my fart will follow me orbiting round the table the way I did.

I used to believe a fart was when air got trapped in your underwear and made a noise squeezing out of the elastic in your underwear's leg holes.

I used to think when I farted a brown bubble came out,so everytime I had to fart I went to a mirror to see if I could see the bubble.

p.s. I could never see that brown bubble.

One of my good friends in 5th grade, whom I considered one of the smart kids, we all were, it was a smart school....well anyway she told me farts were nothing but air off the dookie...when u think about it it kind of makes sense, it certainly smells like air from the dookie

I used to call farts, hearts which my parents thought was really cute. They never corrected me and I could tell them in public, "I hearted" and it never was rude

my friend used to believe that if you didn't fart when you needed to it would go up and surround your heart and give you a heart attack

When I was younger, I used to think that farts were food in the gas form, and that they would shoot out if it got too crowded in the stomach.

Laura

I used to belive that kids did not fart.

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....

when i was 5, i used to think that farts were invisible poop.

my aunt told me i did this when i was little and she was babysitting me. i was sitting on the toilet and i farted and then i said oops excuse me, my potty burped.

i dont think so

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

I used to think that when you farted, it meant that you had to poop. I realized that this was a fallacy one day when i went to go poop about 20 times, and nothing came out. in case you're wondering, i had hotdogs, baked beans, and cole slaw the night before.

i always thought that when you fart it meant you would have to poop very soon. so whenever i farted i made sure i went to the bathroom as quickly as possible so i wouldn't poop on the floor!

I used to think that a queef was just a regular fart, NOT the kind of fart that cometh from a woman's inner area. When I was around 18, I had told my boyfriend at the time about how my best friend and I would go around saying "I queefed". He then asked me if I knew what it really meant. Of course I didn't know that it could mean anything else, and when I asked him what it really was, he wouldn't tell me (being that he was a little more sexually adept than I was). Anyway, I found out the true meaning when I was 21--my roomie and some friends set me straight during a discussion on bodily functions.
Rat Boy, I hate you for not telling me before!

My dad always saya "did you here that frog?" when he farted lol

ribbit!

I used to think i giant green bubble would come out of your butt and pop when you farted, But then I looked in a mirror and farted, I was so disappointed

Josh

In elementary school I used to be starved for attention so if I was bored I would try to fart as loud as possible and everyone would laugh and pay attention to me. The more the teachers told me to stop the more I would want to fart. I found out if I ate lots of canned meat my farts would be loud and smelly and cause quite the commotion.

When I was younger my best friend told me that if I farted, burped and sneezed all at the same time, then I would die. I have yet to find out if it is true!
