My mother would tell me when I was young, that if I didn't take my galoshes off at the door and wore them inside the house I would go blind.
A childhood belief about around the house

others believed things like this
- I used to believe that people who wore glasses were blind and could only see when they had their glasses on. Anon
- I used to belief that the Muslim women who wore their garment wore it because they were bald.Anon
- I used to believe that if you opened up an umbrella inside your house that the whole house would fly awayAnon
- when i was young i believed that when u moved house the house would come with you !!!
just like a turtleAnon - I used to believe that blind dates were dates for people who were blind.Anon
- My sibs and I thought that the screen door was called the "scream door" so Mom could yell at us through it. — Kyle
