That buttercups proved if you liked butter.
Blowing on a dandelion and making a wish, meant it would come true.
Picking yellow dandelions made you wet the bed.
The worst was that when you sneezed a fairy lost it’s wings. I was seven and devastated when my teacher told us that xx |

I was genuinely led to believe that the national speed limit sign meant ...
...'you can go as fast as you like!'...
It led to a very ...erm, interesting conversation after my first driving lesson    |

"That dock leaves help ease stinging nettles stings! Bollocks they do."
actually they do,the burning feeling is caused by nettles having a high histamine level,.dock leaves are high in anti histamine.

That when adults go out at night they all spontaneously burst into song and dance.
I was really worried as I had no idea how they all knew the dance moves and words.
I might have watched a few too many classic musicals as a kid   |

"Remember my mum saying if you swallowed pips an apple tree would grow in your tummy  "
It’s a tie between La Llorona and Santa Clause. My parents worked hard to provide for us, but also paired it with absolutely horrifying stories to keep us in line when we acted up.
As a kid, hearing any sounds late at night and outside inspired fear, and it worked well for getting me home before sunset (curfew). |

Definitely telling my kids about banshees!
It’s thought the story began with parents using it as a cover for the noises they made during sex. It’s ingenious and a ghostly whale makes perfect since to a child, rather than hearing their parents having sex next door. |

When I was just starting school, I had a bit of a disagreement with a teacher. She didn’t believe me, that my mum used to work with a famous nurse called florence nightingale.
My mum still laughs now, because I believed her. I think I was only around 6 or 7 at the time and didn’t even really know who she was  |

My dad told me that CID stood for Coppers In Disguise, I believed that for quite a while until the question actually came up in a class at school one day and I put my hand up knowing the answer and got picked to tell everyone… |

You were not the only believer. For me I'm pretty sure this idea was planted by a set of children's books, "fuzzbuzz" that I learnt to read from.. Any one remember those? |

What made it worse was if it was really windy outside the attic door used to lift up a tiny bit when the wind blew. I’m still traumatised to this day. |

"I used to believe all the strange men visiting were my uncles "
Funnily enough I was told they were my cousins, yet I never saw them at family gatherings
