Once when I was about 6 or 7 I was playing with my cousins and sisters and they knocked me which Made me swallow my chewing gum. I freaked out and went and told my mum and dad. Well Thats when My father told me that it would block my butt up so i couldnt do a poo, and it would all build up and i'd explode... I freaked out even more and started crying, my dad just laughed I mean seriously what type of father does that to a child!!

When I was little, my sister told me that if I swallowed chewing gum, or just any lollie without chewing it, I would die. I remember a teacher handing out lollies. Then I swallowed mine and I was nearly crying. I'll never let my sister forget that.

My sister always pronounced - and spelled - chewing gum that way: jewing gum. She obviously thought it was a Jewish invention. Well, maybe it is???

I was always told that if you swollowed chewing gum your Bum would stick together.

when i was litle my mother said that if I swallow chewing gums they will be atached to my stomach, and then I imagine the walls of my stomach full of different colors and tastes.

When I was in kindergarten I believed that rocks developed from gum. I was chewing some one day, and spit it out into the dirt. Me and my friends went back to the same spot and dug it up, only to find a rock.

When i was five, i used to think that if you blew a bubble (from gum) and it got stuck on your face then you would have the gum one your face forever more.

when i was 6, my friends told me that if u swallowed bubble gum, it would sit in your stomach FOREVER & stick your sides together. i actually believed them.
that was until 10 when i swallowed a bubble gum & im still fine till now!

I used to beleive when i was really little, before i could blow bubbles with bubblegum, that only adults could blow bubbles. I thought that they had a special thing in their mouth that blew air into the gum and shaped it into a bubble!

I used to belive that if you swallowed gum then it will stick to your butt and your butt will stick together which will not let you poop! I always used to swallow my gum and my mom told me that so I wont choke!

I used to believe it took 7 years to digest swallowed gum. If that was really the case then I would have over 8,000 pieces of gum wadded up inside of me. 3 pieces a day x 7 days a week x 52 weeks in a year x 7 years really adds up. It is gross that I swallow that much but it is just a habit. Now I think I believe that the gum swallowing has saved me from many accidents and health problems. They will probably find someday that it is actually good for you!!!!!

My parents used to tell me when I was about 5 that if I ate bubblegum and swallowed it that it would stay there for seven years.

They also told me that if I ate the watermelon seeds that in about a couple of years I would have a watermelon growing in my tummy.

When I was young my grandad told me that chewing gum was made from the soles of Native Americans feet. I believed him!

When I was really small, I had this little friend who thought that Starburst was gum. She'd put a piece in her mouth and chew it for a few seconds and then take it out and give it to her mom. I was only three, but I thought, "Gosh, this girl is dumb." She thought I was going to die from swallowing it.

friend of the stupid

I swallowed gum once when I was little, and I told my dad about it so he'd give me another piece. He told me that when I tried to poop later, I'd blow a bubble out my butt! I totally believed him! Now I tell my friends' kids the same thing, and they swallow it on purpose to see if it's true. :-) Hee hee!

i was sitting in my P.E lesson and a girl started getting told off for chewing gum. immediately i realised that i was chewing gum too, and as i didnt want to get told off, i decided to swallow my gum. my friend then turned to me and said: "dont swallow your chewing gum, it will rap around your heart." to this day, whenever i think about that i laugh.

I used to believe that if I swallowed too many wads of gum, they would stay in my stomach and one day they would all stick together and form a big ball and then it would expload in me and i would die. i was terrified of gum until i was 7!
