There's a noon siren in my town, and it sounds almost identical to an air raid siren that they used in England during WW11. When I was little ( around five years old), I watched a movie set back then, and my brother told me that the siren meant people were going to bomb the town. For the longest time, everyday at noon I ran inside, so I wouldn't get hit by a bomb. It didn't occur to me that IU had been outside many times at noon, and was never hit by a bomb.
A childhood belief about in the street
others believed things like this
- When I was little my parents would tell me if I ate candy before noon I would get worms.— Jenny
- I used to think that "mourning doves" were called afternoon doves starting at noon!
— Megaroo - I used to believe that an atom bomb was a dragon in the sky.— Mazzkitten
- I thought there was only one copy of a movie and you had to wait til it got to your town,— quagmire
- When i was about 6 years old, i thought God was washing his"LEGO" town, when it was raining here.— Meie
- i could swear eleventeen was a number for the longest time -- it still sounds pretty convincing.— erin
