My little sister and I were misbehaving so my mum started peeling off her sunburnt skin and told that us that if we didn't behave she'd take her batteries out.
By golly we pleaded with her not to take her batteries out and we certainly behaved that night.
A childhood belief about family

others believed things like this
- my nephew used to believe that when people died, they just needed new batteries.— p-daddy
- I used to believe that I could make a laser by putting more batteries in a flash light.— Tyler
- I used to think that putting batteries in your ears could electrocute your brain. Hahahaha.Anon
- I used to suck on the ends of batteries intent on gaining super electric powers. Anon
- when i was little my sister told me that when i bite my nails it would cut through my skin and i would die! — nn
- After being told by my parents or relatives to "behave," I would usually reply: "I am being have."— Ed
