As a youngster my brother and i had a fascination with the fridge light(we were easily amused!) our mum eventually got sick of finding the door open and told us that baby penguins lived in the fridge and they would die if we kept opening the door because they'd get to warm. A belief that took me longer to loose than i am willing to admit!
A childhood belief about general

others believed things like this
- that a piece of liver in your fridge if left overnight would wrap itself around a bottle of milkAnon
- My sibs and I thought that the screen door was called the "scream door" so Mom could yell at us through it. — Kyle
- As a youngster, my older brother told me that polish sausage was really the bull's genitals. — Ross
- i used 2 believe when i left my closet door open at
night a skelleton would pop out and wave at me— bex - I thought if I left the door open too long, a dog would come from the cupboard in the washroom and eat me
Anon - I used to think that 'Child Locking' only worked on children and that older people could still open the door.— Anonymous Whistleblower
