When I was a kid, I believed white people didn't poop. The reason being is my childhood friend who was white ofcourse never "pooped" around me. I think she used to hold it. LOL I know, what kids think of.

I used to think they if you farted with you pants on, the fart would stay in my pants and go back up your butt, and you'd never stop farting. So I used to pull down my pants to fart.. I stopped because it got embarrassing having to run and hide at school!

One of my elementary school mates once told me that if you burped and farted at the same time, you would die.

It was hard to test, and I was afraid to, but once the feat actually occurred and I didn't die, I figured it must've been because it wasn't _exactly_ the same moment.

When I was little every time my day would fart he would say it was a mouse on a motorcycle. I never saw any reason not to belive him. I always pictured something from a Tom and Jerry episode. Eventually I figured it out.

When I was 3 my friend told me that if you ate a bigmac from Mcdonalds it would make you fart so bad you would start flying and then you would go to space and you would have to stay there forever.I actualy believed it! I was afraid of eating anything from there for a while.

When we were little all of my friends and I believed that if you were touched by a person who farted, you would get the fart-touch. to make yourself immune you had to say "rooty-tootie-fresh-and-fruity, knock on wood!" and cross your fingers while counting to ten.

when i was little my dad told me that if i farted on the fire it would blow up so i always tried it and he would yell "BOOM" and it would scare me half to death

When I was young, my parents referred to farts as "Tooters." Of course, this was never written down, so my concept of the spelling of the word was not quite what it was today. I was convinced it was spelled "Tudor," and when I first heard that word used to describe the style of house I was really, really confused.

When I was little, I used to enjoy smelling my farts. If I farted in public, I would have a disgusted look on my face and I would pretend to cover my nose but I would actually sniff them in deeply. I did this because I believed that smelling something strong and rancid would make my sense of smell stronger and able to smell the worst of things. Good times, good times..

Yuck!!

This isn't my belief, but a few years ago my best friend made her little brother believe that if you ate only one food for an entire week (for example, apples), that your farts would smell like apples.
He never got to test the theory because there's no way a parent would let their child eat only one food for an entire week!

I was told that thunder was the sound of clouds bumping together after being split by lightening. Therefore, I believed farts were the sound of turds bumping together in your bowel.

When i was little my grandpa told me and my cousins that if we swallowed our gum that we would fart bubbles. I stopped believing it when i was older and had tried it to see.

growing up near the mexican border my mom was used to not being understood by spanish-speaking kids so she thought they wouldn't understand any noises she made; burping, farting ect.

my older cousin once told me that if i never farted again, all of the gas would build up inside me and i'd explode.

when my sister was about three and noticed her first little fart, she put her hand to her mouth and said, "whoops, my bottom burped".

When I was young my dad used to lean against things like a wall or tree,or he would bend over and pick something up and he would rip a long loud one. Then say something like"did you hear that? the tree is moving" or "sounds like this thing is broken".He now walks stairs and says"creeky stairs, i better fix them soon"

my dad, the tree mover

i used to believe that when you farted you released
"poo particles" and if somone let one loose during dinner i would refuse to eat another bite it wasnt untill i was 9 i realised that i realised my sister was lying

I used to think that farts were really stink bubbles that come out of your butt and explode and make a really loud sound. The silent farts were when the bubbles were small and not ready to pop.

When I was younger, I had a friend who told me that if you farted and then immediately turned off the light, the fart couldn't find you.

I belived that if I pushed my butt cheeks together then the fart would come out smaller.
