When my Mum left my older sisters in charge of me whilst she was out, she told me that she had given them authority to smack me if I was naughty.
I spent ages looking for this authority hoping I could get rid of it before they could use it on me!
A childhood belief about family
others believed things like this
- I spent ages wondering what a bart ender was as a child without realising that it was actually bar tender.— Heather
- I thought the 'dubbing mixer' on TV credits was the person in charge of stirring the make up for the actors.— Clive
- i used to think the "Smack my Bitch Up" song by Prodigy was "Snap my picture"..like Snap my pic-cha!
Anon - We told our little sister that she had a long bushy tail and she fully believed us for ages!!Anon
- Turtles can fly. I believed it for ages.
My turtle got lost or probably died and I was told it flew away.Anon - I used to believe that there was a time limit whilst using the loo.— Helen
