When I was young I was always told not to sit on the ground or else you would get worms. I remember sitting on the ground one day playing and spending the REST OF THE NIGHT watching to see if worms crawled out my behind.
A childhood belief about general

others believed things like this
- I always thought that the gummy worms were real worms that had been mummified— The Ice Cream Sandwich Monster
- I thought ground beef was the meat they scraped off the ground at the slaughterhouse. Yuck.Anon
- My mom told me that if I ate raw hotdogs or spoonfuls of sugar, I'd get worms. I believed her until I was 13.— seale
- MY SISTER TOLD ME THAT CANNED SPAGHETTI WERE REALLY WORMS THAT'S WHY THEY WERE SO CHEAP...I BELIEVED— CATHY
- my grandma told me not to eat pizza coz the "brown squiggly" stuff there arent burnt cheese but WORMS!
