    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.

    When I was little I thought when you drain the tub after a bath you could get sucked down.

    My big sis told me when I was 5 that if I really didnt like my freckles I could scrape them off my nose with a butter knife. And I tried it. Ouch. That was dumb but I believed her because she was 18. Old enough to know little kids dont understand sarcasm well.

    That " Snipe hunting" was real. College buddies got me bad on that one- sat behind a rock( at night) down at the golf coarse for 1/2 hour before they had any mercy on me. Stupid.

    As a little one, I used to wonder why they couldn't just drain the Loch Ness lake, to find out if the monster lived in it once and for all. I just didn't get why this logical idea never occurred to the people in charge. :tongue:

    I also wondered why 'they' couldn't just print/make more money at the money factories, if everyone needed more so badly.

    That tiramisu contained real ladies' fingers. Old ladies who died had their fingers snapped off, they were so dry that you had to soak them in coffee. I refused to eat it til I was 13.

    That the bank held my money in a safe spot and that when I went back to get it I would get the same exact bills that I had given them. Totally destroyed me when I realized that they gave my money away and gave me money from a stranger! :)
