When I was about 8, a friend in the playground told me one break-time that if you pushed too hard while having a "poo", that your brains came out of your bottom. I've never forgotten this and am always a little cautious when it gets to that crutial moment!
A childhood belief about weeing and pooing
others believed things like this
- You must break the bottom of egg shells after finishing a boiled egg or witches will use them for boatsAnon
- I used to believe that people's brains differed in colours. I always wanted purple brains for some reason.— Katrina
- My best friend used to believe there were leprachuns to dig up in the playground at recess— deanna
- my mum once told me if you picked your nose your brains came out!!!!— smiley : )
- My gran told me that if you drank vinegar your brains would dry up!!!— Sam
- My mother told me that if I lay too close to our electric radiator (heater) my brains would melt.
