in Chit-Chat
My father once told me that ALL yellow cars were "Lemons" and that is why I never saw yellow cars driving.
It made sense to me.

Up until a few years ago I belived it, until my fiance laughed at me.


Also, (I've mentioned this before) when watching football games and seeing QB's looking distraught talking on phone on sideline... always thought it was to their parents. NOT THE COACHING STAFF...

    I would hear noises from my pillow at night when I slept on my side. I thought it was bugs crawling in my pillow, until I was in my teens and realized it was my heartbeat... :blushing:

    When I was REALLY young I used to think the world used to be black & white, because all old pictures were in black & white.

    as a kid - My parents had me convinced that cotton came from the jowls of armadillos, and that the big round hay bales with white plastic on them, were actually marshmallows that had grown in that field and had just not been processed and cut down yet....... I believed both of these until I was 10, and I lived in areas that I should NOT have ever believed either of them.

    That ducks couldn't fly. I actually wouldn't believe my family until I saw it. I'm usually so gullible that I'll beilieve anything, so I figured they were messing with me.

    I am known for being gullible, anyone who has met me will tell you that.

    One thing I remember most was in parochial school (6th grade) two 8th grade girls were telling me how one of them was an extra in Patch Adams. She said she had to shave her head and everything. I bought it.

    Putting salt on the tail of a bird or rabbit would make them freeze.
    I chased rabbits for hours at my Great Grandmothers house.
    She even sent me a rabbit statuette and told me she used salt to catch him. I totally believed her.

    :huh: :laugh:

    I used to try to sneak up on them.

    When I was little my mom had me convinced that Mommys didn't fart. That worked until she was right next to me and she couldn't blame it on anyone. I was little and the story is still funny to my family even to this day.

    I actually believed in Santa until I was like 13..I didn't get the words of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" until after I was married... and you could get pregnant by kissing
