My sister and I used to believe something bad would happen if you breathed while driving over the bridge, so we held our breaths. Strange that we could breathe in the center at the county line.
A childhood belief about cars

others believed things like this
- I thought everyone only had a set number of breaths before they died.
I breathed slowly for a long time.Anon - i thought that if you held in your fart you burp if you happen to hold both in you explode!— ahh!
- I used to think that County Durham was in Ireland.Anon
- I used to think farts were air you had breathed in and out loads of times and was 'used'Anon
- i used to believe that if you swallowed gum, when you breathed in, your stomach would stick to your back— cope
- I used to believe that if I pumped in my sleep and breathed it in I would turn into a rotting turnip!— Quako
