I used to believe our neighbors were royalty! They were very poor by todays standards but they had running water in their house, an indoor toilet, a tub, telephone and a furnace! We had to get water from a well, heat from a wood burner in the center of the home, we had an outhouse and I took a bath in a big washtub! I'm only 45 so it wasn't that long ago! :)
A childhood belief about in the street
others believed things like this
- i used to believe that when you sat in the bath to long and got pruny
that the water made you old— Jami - I used to believe that if i splashed water on the wall during a bath, the water would turn into spiders— justin
- I used to believe that the heat from the furnace came from hell, and that it was a straight drop there.Anon
- I used to think what heated the food in the pan was the boiling water, not the heat under it.— Mario
- how many us believed you would go down the drain with the bath water? I did!— Amy
- When I was a kid, I use to believe, when I put salt in my bath water I will turn into a mermaid.— marletha
