When my parents argued they would accidentally say "God-d***-it!" and I would immediately envision God building a dam in the "River of problems" so that they would stop flowing.
A childhood belief about swearing
others believed things like this
- I used to think that the river police were there to stop naughty people from pulling the plug out.— Linda
- I used to think the Empire State Building was called the "Ten-past-eight building".— Alex
- That the rivers stopped flowing at night!— Louise
- When I was 5, I argued with a friend because I thought I never have been 3 years oldAnon
- I used to believe that "critical acclaim" meant that they liked it, BUT had some major problems with it, too.— Beth
- I thought if 3 cards stopped at a 3-way stop sign then they had to stop forever until Christmas.Anon
