i was told in first grade that when you farted green gass or bubbles come out....so for months i tried to catch a peek when i farted....but i always missed. it came out before i got a look. i still haven't seen what a fart looks like, but adult reasoning tells me that there would be a green coloring to my underwear if this were so.

When I was young I believed that if you farted when it was cold outside smoke would come out of your bootie the same way it does mouth. So when I would have to fart and I was waiting for the school bus I would hold it until I was sure that no cars were coming by so that no one would no that I pooted.

When I was about 5-6 years old, I used to think that whenever someone farted, a little invisible man came out of ur butt, made the sound, and ran around the room stinking the place up with some sprayer he had.

When I was younger I used to think that when someone said, "He is going to the gas chamber" that the "gas" was farts. I envisioned a bunch of people pressing there butts into holes in the wall and expelling gas. The gas was either bottled or the "victim" was in the room while the gas was being expelled. I now know the real meaning of the saying, but I still get a laugh out of my original thought.

My mom told me that she had stocked up on a "new" invention that you spray around the house and if someone farts the air around their butt turns purple and a purple cloud follows them and everyone knows they farted. I was very feminine and girly when i was younger so i was terrified that everyone would find out that i fart! lol

Courtney

when i was little my parents taught me to say "pardon me" when i farted. i didn't really understand, so i came up with my own logical saying. "fart on me"

When I was a little kid I beleived that in order for no one to know that I farted, I had to smell it all before any else did. So after I farted I go snffing up all the scent I could find, needless to say, I could never get to all of it quick enough...someone always got the last little bit that I missed!

Matt

when i was a kid i thought that when you farted you lost air. So whenever i farted i ran around gasping for air

When he was little, my dad used to think that farts were laughing gas; because whenever you farted, people laughed!

Autumn

I was about 6 and thought my family invented the fart because I never heard anyone outside my family do it.

Bob

My brother used to believe that if he farted into a plastic easter egg, then closed it fast enough, he could store the smell and use it as a stink bomb in the future.

Apparently, my mom and her friends were very ladylike. Until I was about 23 and living with my fiancee, I was utterly convinced that females were physically incapable of farting.

Jaede

Up until 8th grade or so, I was convinced that I invented the word "Fart"

I used to believe that if you sniffed up a stinky fart, that no one else could smell it. I tested my theory one day in class and when it didn't work, that's when I stopped believing.

I also used to believe when you farted, your "fart cloud" would float around the world.

I don't sniff my farts anymore.

I used to beleive that the clouds were evrybodies farts. And if everybody kept farting soon the sky would be clogged up with cloud. It was when i was 8 in a geography class and i told the teacher the clouds were our farts that i found out that clouds werent our farts after a large amount of teasing

Bianca

I used to believe that if I turned my head and looked at my butt when I farted, I would see the fart coming out. So one day I went into the bathroom naked and looked at my butt until I farted. I was very disappointed when I saw that farts are invisible.

Vannah

My dad told me, when i was about 6, that if i farted with my head under the blanket, my hair will become curly. I didn't buy that, but my younger brother did. The funny thing is that his hair later on really became curly:D

Lia

When I was little my dad used to tell me that when he farted, that if I breathed it in I wouldn't get a cold in the winter

Anan

I used to believe that when I 'popped off', as long as I said 'Pardon me' it wouldn't smell. I hate to think how many times I farted in company and then quietly whispered 'pardon me', thinking no-one else would ever know what I had done!

Rosie

I used to believe that the natural gas trucks you see on the road were filled up with fart gas. I thought that people hooked up a hose to their butt and farted as hard as they could,the gas would travel up the hose into the trucks tank. That's why I always thought natural gas was so expensive.
