As a lover of animals, one time in church I was quite excited by the sermon because my mis-understanding of the minister who I swore said 'Gladly, the cross-eyed bear'
A childhood belief about church

others believed things like this
- When I was younger, I believed that squinting in a storm would make you cross-eyed... forever.Anon
- I thought a Prime Minister was some kind of religious leader, due to the "Minister" part— Darth Carrietta
- I used to think that "cross-eyed" meant that people had X's for eyes, like dead people in cartoons.— Tim
- I was told that if your ever swore in church, as you walked out God would strike you with a bolt of lightning.— Lou
- when I was little my uncle told me he was part bear. I believed people could be part bear until I was twelve. — Audrey
- when was little i used to believe that if you won the grand national you would become prime ministerAnon
