When I was young and I sneezed but no one said 'bless you' and would quickly say 'Blessyoume' to bless myself.
I didn't realise that the saying 'Blessyoume' made no sense until I was 17 and my mum laughed at me for saying it.
A childhood belief about general
others believed things like this
- I used to believe that "God bless you" was "gableshu," so everytime someone sneezed, I would say "gableshu."— JS
- I used to believe that when I said my prayers, "God Bless..." meant please keep burglars awayAnon
- In "God Bless America" I thought it was "With the light from a bulb" instead of "from above."— Carol
- In the Hail Mary prayer, I used to say 'Bless a dark fowl among women' rather than 'blessed art though'Anon
- I also thought that people in different countries coughed, sneezed, laughed, or cried in their own language!— Mini
- Phil Collins song "I missed again" - I thought it was "I pis*ed again" - didn't realise he was an alcoholic?!Anon
