    I had a nanny growing up, and when I was little she told me that if I ever told a lie, bugs would fly out of my mouth.
    She also told me that if I ate my bread crusts, it would help me learn how to whistle.

    I STILL can’t whistle..

    I thought getting drunk meant drinking waaay too much water and basically hallucinating because your brain didn’t have air, just water. A friend would get on the bus in the morning and say her mom was drunk and I would just wonder why would she want to drink so much?

    I was legit scared of the bogeyman. Except, he looked like Colonel Sanders from KFC.
    My sister had a Colonel Sanders piggy bank she used to scare me with when I was little. Shed have him appear in the spookiest places at the scariest of times (I was 4,it was scary then)

    As a kid the song "Man Eater" terrified me. I thought, "Why is she trying to eat people?"

    I'd had scarlet fever when I was about 4, and a couple of years later I woke up one morning and couldn't see. I was convinced I'd gone blind from the scarlet fever like Mary in Little House on the Prairie. Turns out I just had pink eye, and my eyelashes were simply crusted shut. It was years before I stopped randomly practicing living like a blind person (walking around my house with my eyes closed, using my fingertip to tell when my cup was full), for when the day finally came for real. PS: It never has.

    When books and shows talked about stabbing vampires with a stake, I thought they meant steaks. Was confused about how it was possible to destroy monsters with rib eye, and why waste good food.

    My parents always called the television remote a "Channel Changer"...as a child I guess I couldn't say it correctly so I've always called it a "Chandler"...you have no idea how many times no one knew what the hell I was talking about. :D

    Many years ago in a far away place, as a kid I saw tv commercials from Dial soap. They had actors walking on a street going to work blah blah and they would lift straight up about a foot and seemed to levitate while walking. So the ad was "Dial soap gives you a lift." Well yours truly was convinced, wholesale convinced, that this soap would lift me up a foot and I could walk around in the air. So cool and HAD to have that soap. So sometime later we got the soap..I think mine was defective ~¿~

    I thought the waitresses at Hooters were topless rather than scantily clad. A friend's super-religious mom talked about how sinful that place was and I just assumed it was completely staffed by nude women, or at least topless.

    A boy I dated freshman year told me he went to Hooters for lunch with his grandpa. I was like "Seriously!?" and very surprised and asked if they let kids his age (15) in there normally...he was so confused, and then he went on to say his younger sister and grandma were there too. My mind was absolutely blown, until I found out what Hooters really was.

    Every time I start to think of something I begin to remember my mom ridiculing me for being stupid and I have to stuff the memory back down. It’s like she was already competitive and jealous when I was only 5. :'(

    That's terrible :/ I'm so sorry :'(

    My dad had this habit of driving on the very side of the road, very often past the sideline almost to the ditch. I thought that in order to drive, the driver had to do really difficult math problems to keep the car in the correct spot because just watching the road wasn’t accurate (judging from my dads habit of driving in the ditch). Come to find out he just always drove that way because “well I’d rather get stuck in a ditch then get hit head on by an oncoming car”. I miss that mans thought process.
