    That you had to be born a vegetarian. Came up with it myself and didn't know I could choose that until I was 10

    A high school friend's boyfriend swore that women could not fart....not that they didn't, but that they COULD NOT! :noway:

    After much arguement, he bet me $10.

    I proved him wrong right then and there, and won the bet. :bigsmile: :drinker:

    My childrens father told me that Jack rabbits existed and I believed him up until a few years ago when we were talking about said jack rabbits. He burst out laughing after he saw the very confused look on my face and said "Ddn't I tell you that I was joking with you?" For 10 years I believed the darn things were real!

    Jackrabbits do exist ... http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/jackrabbit/

    Unless he was talking about magical ones or sumthin ...

    Did you mean Jackalopes? Because Jackrabbit is a species of hare.

    My sister convinced me that we had to hold our breath when driving near a cemetery, or the evil spirits would go inside of us. I seriously believed in this till I was a teenager, and hated going some places because I had to hold my breath for a really long time.

    I used to believe that too!

    As a kid we had a black and white TV - I swore up and down that it was color based on the perception that big bird was most definitely yellow. To this day I remember ABSOLUTELY being convinced the shows were in color. The tricks faith can play!

    As an adult someone convinced me that it snowed in the mountains in the Philippines, she even told me stories about skiing there. I mentioned it in front of family once - big mistake. They made fun of me quite ruthlessly for a time and I felt like an idiot for it.

    In the town were I grew up there was a place called "The Blind Factory." I thought that it was a factory that employed blind people and I had always wondered what they made, and how they did it :blushing:

    I thought for some reason that Pope John XXIII had died of the hiccups, so I was terrified when I'd get the hiccups when I was a kid.

    I was driving my ex-wife and her father to the airport. We passed by a dairy field and noticed a cow kneeling. "Oh look at that cow kneeling, I didn't know they could do that", she said. Without missing a beat her dad said, "Where did you think low-fat milk comes from?" "Really???", she replied, clearly astonished. I nearly ran off the road...she was 43 and believed that.

    When my neice Sarah was younger, like 4ish maybe 5 I had her convinced I knew everything. I would get info from her Mom and she didn't know it so it went on for years. I hope she remembers it fondly.

    otherwise, your face will get stuck that way

    When I was a kid my dad convinced me that there were only 3 hours in a day. Also, I used to think EVERYTHING on TV was animated, and when I watched live action movies I wondered how they got the colors to be so life-like.

    When I was younger I used to think that if you got a green chip in a bag of potato chips and ate it you would die.

    "Make sure to clean behind your ears - if not, potatoes will start growing there!"

    Playing with frogs and toads would make you get warts.

    My cousin said the same thing. I remember playing along but I knew my mom never held her breath when we did that so it couldn't be true.

    My ex fully believed that women only have 2 holes, and that pee comes out of the vagina. I tried to explain but he just wouldn't believe me.

    Good Lord, where did you find him!!! He must've had an IQ of minus 20.

    Being Jewish and brought up in a Jewish household, I was under the impression that everyone in the world was Jewish too. Man I was confused when I met Christian people, lol

    A friend of mine believed that drop bears were real until she was about 24. She was devastated when she found out the truth

    A drop bear is something that us Aussies made up to scare unsuspecting tourists as a joke

    Watched cartoons where the ostrich would put its head in a hole to hide. Believed it until we went to an ostrich farm and asked the farmer if it was true.

    When I was little girl, I thought the moon was following me everywhere. We were on a car trip and every time I looked out the window, there it was! I was sure it was a sign that I was going to turn into a werewolf! I finally became so worried, I mentioned the stalking moon to my father, who assured me that since the moon was so high up in the sky...it appeared to be following everybody!

    I never was very gullible, because my brother tried pulling crap on me all the time, so I wised up fast. He had a girl in HIGH SCHOOL convinced that he was fed as a baby on alligator milk.

    I once cried at the store because my mom was buying Aunt Jemima Syrup. I was scared that the bottle would come to life on our table and start talking just like it did on the tv commercials.

    This is amazing!!

    My older sister told me that brown cows gave chocolate milk. She's my older sister, I believed her till I was pretty old, probably high school.
