When I would choke on something I ate my grandmother told me that it went down the wrong tube. For example, if it was Wednesday she told me that it went down Tuesday's tube. What a shocker in 6th grade anatomy to learn that we didn't have seven tubes (one for each day of the week) but we only had two tubes...one to eat and one to breathe.
A childhood belief about eating
others believed things like this
- I used to believe that the lungs where tubes in the neck.— Some Guy
- I thought when i was a kid, that all mailboxes had tubes that brought your mail to the person u sent it to.— Andrew
- if you eat toothpaste straight from the tube, you will get worms— wormelow
- I used to want hemmoriods so I could use a "float tube" in the tub and have a cushy toilet seat like my dad.— Tami
- Remember the old Tubes song "White Punks on Dope". Thought they were singing "White Folks are Dumb"
