    I thought you had to drink 8 full glasses of water a day instead of 8 cups- making it close to 15 cups.

    My dad told me that refinery smock stacks in SoCal were the place where the Indians used to cook their steaks. I believed that for a looooooong time.

    When I was about 7, my 12 year old cousin and 10 year old brother convinced me that they were aliens from another planet and that their spaceship was buried in the back yard. I couldn't figure out a way to prove them wrong so I had to believe 'em.

    I had a friend who was about 25 years old, and I was cooking tacos. Because I sort of rolled the tortilla around after filling them, he went ballistic and started telling me how much he hated burritos. I said DUDE it's still a taco. Apparently he believed that by rolling the taco up, it became a burrito.

    When I was a kid I thought lesbians were aliens that shot lasers from their eyes. (I have no idea why.)

    That my brother was actually going to come FIND me when he suggested that we play hide and seek. I stayed in that laundry hamper for an hour before I figured out his scheme!

    I thought the "In case of fire, use stairs" signs by the elevator meant there might be a fire in the elevator so you should the stairs instead. I could never understand why there was an elevator AND a sign telling you not to use it because it might catch on fire. :embarassed:

    When I was little, I used to think if you jumped at just the right time in a descending elevator that you could fly. I think of it every time I get in an elevator now.

    I mean.....Burritos pretty much are rolled up tacos lol You typically fill them with the same things...One is just rolled in a large tortilla lol

    When I was in middle school there was a rumor that BBQ potato chips had either spider eggs or bat poop in it, I can't remember which, but to this day I still can't eat BBQ chips because it grosses me out LOL

    I knew a girl in school who thought that AD , as in 2013 A.D meant After Dinosaurs.

    I used to think that eating toast crust would give me ringlets.
    It doesn't work :(

    Definitely can relate to that! Who knew it was about a dog! :noway:

    I believed up until last month that the song "Who let the dogs out?" was about actual dogs and not the less attractive girls in a club. I think a decent part of my childhood disintegrated with that knowledge.

    Also, my mum told me that when she was little, her sisters told her that she was found under the hedge in the back garden, and she wasn't actually one of them, but my Nanna was too nice to say anything or leave her out there.

    My dad convinced me that Prince Charles could fly/hover because his ears stick out. When I questioned this he explained HRH could only lift himself a few inches off the ground, but that was still flying.
