I had a very distant aunt who had a very old, faded and distorted tattoo on her arm. When I was a little kid, I used to think that the green splotch on her upper arm was actually where a bird had pooped on her and left a permanent stain.
A childhood belief about skin
others believed things like this
- I'm black, so as a child I used to assume that white people pooped peach the way I pooped brown.— Rick
- I used to believe that my birth mark was a tea stain!Anon
- I used to think that being drunk was permanent— Boyd
- When I was little,I used to think the TV stopped when I went to bed. I figured it all faded to white.— Sharon
- i used to believe that if u got permanent marker on yourself it would stay there for ever and ever— abi
- I used to think that black and white TV and movies had originally been in color, but had faded with age.
