When I was younger my brothers and sisters, total 9 kids, we were told we couldn't go in the swimming pool after we ate for 45 minutes and the only way we could we had to do laps around the yard, we had 7 acres, if we didn't we would get stomach cramps and drown, ever night we did laps around the yard, come to think of that I still believe that today. I wonder if that's really true lol I'm gonna have to look that up on the Internet
A childhood belief about around the house

others believed things like this
- In a race if you finish several laps down you have to make up for it afterwardsAnon
- i used to think that you would die if you didn't wait 30 minutes to go into the pool after eating. (^^)— cady
- I used to think that a "pool shark" was an actual shark that lived in a swimming poolAnon
- If you eat 30 minutes before swimming, you will sink.Anon
