I thought if someone asked something and said please you had no choice but to do it (I think my dad told me this once when I wouldn't do something)

When i was younger, my older cousin made me believe that m&ms grew in flowers, so everyday i would ask her and check her flowers for m&ms
When I was little my parents told me that the oil rigs off of the coast were pirate ships, and that they would come and take me away if I was bad. It frightened me so much, it even brought me to tears once.
I used to believe, thanks to my sister, that mannequins were once real people. She told me they were people that God had punished for being bad and they were 'frozen' forever.
When I was little, my dad told me that fish lived inside of my waterbed. I still remember trying so hard to see through the rubber lining so I could see the fish.
When I was four, my older brother told me that rolled hay bales were alligator houses, and I believed him until I was nine--I realized alligators don't live in Tennessee.
When i was younger my grandma told me that the nuts that was on the bread were bug wings, i still ate it.
I thought Fidel Castro had died.... Turns out he was just really sick. I was like 17 at the time too :P
My mom used to tell me that when actors kiss on TV they have a clear tape on their lips so their lips actually don't touch. I believed that. till I saw french kissing. ew.
when I was a kid my brother used to tell me that a priest will come out of my wound. The larger the wound is, the larger the stuff that will come out, for ex: a bus or an airplane for bigger wounds. So when I get a wound, I don't really cry because it hurts; I was afraid of the things that will come out of it.

When I was little my dad told me that if I chewed on aluminum foil I would pick up radio stations.
My parents used to tell me they were my 'fake' parents and that my real ones were in jail for life.
When I was 4 my 14 year old sister would often babysit me. When I misbehaved one time, she said she was going to call the police and they were going to take me to Mexico. I asked her what Mexico was and she said it was a place where bad kids are locked up in cages. This terrified me at first, but after awhile I decided there couldn't really be a place like that so I stopped worrying about being sent there.
Well, when I went to kindergarten there was a map of the world in class. I remember the day the teacher showed us," Here is the United States and here is Mexico." I shouted "Oh no, Mexico is real?" and I became very upset....I went home and told my sister and parents I would never be bad again because I never want to be sent to Mexico!
I convinced my sister when she was about 7 that pressing on a bruise made it heal faster. I told her if it hurts that's how you know it's working. Then I silently laughed while she winced while doing it.
when i was younger my mam used to say that the tv didnt work when it was sunny outside, so we had to go outside and play...me and my brothers believed her for years

When I was little, my mom told me that if I slept with socks on they would eat me alive.
I used to believe that "Yesterday" and "Tomorrow" were actual days of the week, and that they both had a day of the week for which they were a double. I would ask my parents, "what day of the week is tomorrow?" and they would say "Thursday". And I would be outraged, because the last time I asked that question, they had said that Tomorrow was Monday, and now they were changing the story.
When I was about 5 or 6 I went with my Dad to by new tennis shoes. The sales guy brought out a shoe for my Dad to try on that had the little air chambers at the bottom heel, and they almost looked like a neon orange cave. the sales guy told me that little men lived in the bottom of the shoe and when you ran, they stuck their feet through the bottom sole and made you go faster. I totally believed him.
