when i was younger if there was a bad smell i would always cover my mouth because i thought that you could get bad breath from breathing bad smells..hehehe
A childhood belief about general

others believed things like this
- I was told that if one doesn't cover their mouth when yawning that their soul would escape.Anon
- I used to believe that when I farted, i could smell up all the stench before anyone else could smell it.— Tim
- If you hold your breath and make a wish under a highway tunnel it will come true....I still hold my breath :)— aj
- that song that goes *bring me a higher love*
i thought it said *breathing in iron lung*— oi - I used to believe that when you fart, your tummy was breathing!— Nicholas Orsmond
- When I was a child, I used to believe that when we slept, we stopped breathing.Anon
