I used to believe that if you did not keep your shoes tied, that the police would arrest you.

When i was little, i was so scared of going to prison for some weird reason, that i wanted to become a policeman when i grew up, cuz you know, policemen never go to prison, they are the good guys, the ones that noone suspects, and that never do anything wrong (since they know the rules).

I used to believe that if you were on trial and you told the truth, they would let you go, even if you were guilty

When I was young I was in the car with my Grandma and Great Grandma (her mother). To avoid confusion I asked if I could call one Grandma F and the other Grandma R (the initials of their last names). Well Grandma told me no because it was illegal and I believed her for years!

When I was young, there was a lot of public service advertisements about the danger of sniffing glue - it being addictive, and will cause you to suffocate etc.

I took this to heart so much that when we did arts and crafts at school, i used to hold my breath whenever the kid-friendly paper glue was anywhere near me

When i was little, I saw a sign in a store that said "shoplifters will be prosecuted."

I somehow got it into my little head that if you tried to steal your hands would be chopped off.

I always heard about how you shouldn't do drugs in school, and I always wondered why they didn't just make them illegal if they were so bad for you. I didn't know until I was about 12 that marijuana and such are indeed illegal.

I used to beleive that you would be put in jil if you didn't do what your parents told you to by the count of 1. I thought that they would just take you to jail and keep you there untill you died.
