After a long car trip when I was about six, my older sister and I both had to pee quite badly and raced to our bathroom. She told me that if I peed before her the water would turn to acid and burn her, so she had to go first. I believed her and let her go while I danced around in front of the door. It didn't occur to me until a few days later that pee was pee, no matter whose it was.
A childhood belief about weeing and pooing

- my aunt told us there was a special chemical in the pool that would turn red if we peed in it.Anon
- My older sister told me squirrels were poisonous, and I believed her until I was 9.— Jenni
- We told our little sister that she had a long bushy tail and she fully believed us for ages!!Anon
