A childhood belief about birds
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

And "This afternoon" was "The Safternoon"
Yeah....Anon - I used to believe that when the sky was pink, late at the afternoon, the angels made cookies!— Bella
