chewing gum

My grandmother told my mum that if you chew juicy-fruit you would become a prostitute, I have no idea why. She beleived this up until the point when she saw a freind chew some and told her she was a prostitute.

I used to belive (after my mother warned me) that if you swallowed chewing gum, it would stick to your ribs.

I used to think that Chewing Gum grew under the tables and chairs at the Pub where my Mum worked. I can remeber picking massive wads of it and eating it along with my friend. Never swallowed it though because my mother told me that it would stick my heart to my chest so it couldnt beat. Never asked me where I got the Gum from though................

When I was a child, I used to chew a lot of gum. When my mother would
tell me to get rid of it, I would swallow it. That upset her very much so she
told me that if I kept swallowing my gum, it would all end up in my
appendix and it would eventually explode. (Which it did, but obviously not
from the gum - I think.)

I used to believe that chewing gum was made from horses' hooves and if you swallowed it, it would wind around your heart. My mothr told me this

If you swallowed chewing gum it would make a balloon inside you and your stomach would explode

When I was little, I sometimes swallowed the chewing gum accidentally. When I told my mother about this, she said my intestine would be stuck into a mess. What my mother said often made me worried for a few days.

My mum said that if i swallowed the gum ,it would stick to my stomach and I would have a stomachache.

At school we all believed that if you swallowed chewing gum instead of spitting it out, every piece wedged in your lungs and eventually you could not breathe anymore. I never swallow gum, thirty years later!

I used to believe that the little plastic size tags you got on hangers in clothes shops were chewing gum!

I used to belive that birds might be able to blow a bubble. I thought when someone spits thier gum out the bird would try to eat it but get it stuck on thier beak and when they tried to sing they could blow a bubble, or I thought. I thought a lot of things.

I used to believe that chewing gum was bad for you because my Grandad told me that it was made out of the soles of Indians' bare feet!
