... that you believed as a kid? Either things that you had made up in your own mind, or stuff parents / grandparents told you that you took as gospel?
Prompted by something I just saw on TV... I'll start - when I was little I used to think that all the songs that were on the radio were played live. I can picture it in my head now - I imagined little black studios behind the DJ and a band would play their song and then leave  obviously absolutely absurd, but it blew my mind when I figured out that wasn't the case.
I also believed for a while that sheep had 2 legs shorter than the other 2 - it let them stand on steep hills without falling over |

That I would grow up to have magic powers because I have green eyes. That's from reading too many Enid Blyton books! Gutted that I won't get to live in the woods and talk to badgers. |

My mate told me he had a full size At-At from Starwars when I was a kid. He told me he used to take it out at night and that he kept it in a big underground room. When I was round for a birthday party, I asked his mum about it and she laughed and said it wasn't true. I was devastated as I really wanted a go in it.  |

I was a big reader when I was a child and even back then was fascinated by folklore.
Unfortunately, sans the gift of logic as so bequeathed as we get older, I took it as factual and consequently scared myself shitless that there were ‘little people’ dwelling in the woods who loved nothing more than devouring children, vampires that might prey upon us at night and all manner of other heinous denizens out there just itching to harm us  |

"That children should be seen and not heard.
That when the news was on the telly it was customary to be silent.
That I could talk to animals.
That I was very probably swapped at birth "
silent when the news was on the telly! I'd
forgotten about that but it was exactly the same in our house  |

"My dad once told my haggis had 1 leg shorter than the other to run round the mountains better "
ah that's not true - we all know all their 5 legs are the same length! |

I was a big fan of Danger Man. When I saw it was filmed at Shepperton Studios I cycled there as not too far from home hoping to see him come out at the end of the show so I could get his autograph. Didn’t realise it was recorded so missed an episode for fuck all. |

"I got hugely confused by the news talking about guerrilla warfare. Has visions of huge apes with guns"
this is brilliant
when my mum was little she believed that birds could stand on electricity lines because they all wore little rubber wellies |

I remember when we to the beach and mum said "be careful there are really strong currents here"
I was hugely disappointed when I found out it wasn't actually very big and strong dried fruit |

If you step on a crack, you’ll break your back. Unfortunately it doesn’t stop you walking into things if you’re looking down on the pavement all the time.
Also eating crusts will make my hair curly. Lies. |

Or the bears would come and eat you.
That is pavements obviously not crusts and curls  |
