My brother and I would frequently travel across a neighbor's cow pasture to get to our friends' house. One time I wasn't paying attention and I stepped in a very fresh cow pie and it soaked through my shoe. When I got home and told my dad, he told me it would make my foot grow bigger. It made sense because people use manure to make their plants grow bigger, right? Well my foot DID grow slightly larger than my other foot and I believed the manure was the reason for the longest time!
