Once when my sister and I were putting the washing up away she asked me if I had breathed inside a glass I was holding. I thought she meant that I was supposed to and from then on breathed on everything before I put it away. Funny thing is no-one ever questioned me on it. I must have generally been a bit odd...
A childhood belief about around the house

I breathed slowly for a long time.Anon - I used to think farts were air you had breathed in and out loads of times and was 'used'Anon
- i used to believe that if you swallowed gum, when you breathed in, your stomach would stick to your back— cope
- I used to believe that if I pumped in my sleep and breathed it in I would turn into a rotting turnip!— Quako
- I used to think that when it rained,it meant God was washing his hands Anon
- I used to think that GLASS and GRASS was the same thing. I always wondered why windows weren't green...— Alex
