As a child I used to ravenously eat Ready Brek, morning, noon and night until I found out I wouldn't develop a glow like in the adverts, lying advertising bar-stewards!
What was your shattered belief from childhood, Forumites?

"That eating my crusts didn’t make my hair curl. I hated my straight hair x "
I was the same...
Although bizarrely my hair turned curly all by itself in my mid 30's  |

Until I was about 8 years old, I was scared of the forth rail bridge. I used to think it went up and over like a roller coaster rather than straight through the middle. I was convinced I would fall into the sea.  |

This!
Saying that I also believed that shell suits were cool. "
We all did!
Naff Naff jackets and kappa jogging bottoms were also all the rage! |

"Carrots don't make you see in the dark.
And thankfully swallowing apple seeds won't cause an apple tree to grow in your stomach. "
I remember crying and begging my mum to take me to hospital because I swallowed apple seeds |

Was the carrot thing not a war rumour?
Thankfully they don’t. Because you and me both had childhood anxiety about it  |

"That if you lied, your tongue turned black. Only your mum could see your tongue change colour though! "
Oh my god! I actually was just about to post this - but it got me, because one day I'd finally cottoned onto the fact that they might be lying to me, so I went to a mirror to check my tongue...
But I'd been eating Blackjacks
It ruined me |

That if I used Colgate toothpaste I'd get a shiny 'ring of confidence' around my head *ping*.
My mum wouldn't buy Colgate though as it was expensive so just I had to make do with clean teeth - spoilsport!! |

My Dad told me that if I wished hard enough for something I'd get it.
I held out my hand and wished so hard for a sweet ......
Ages before I decided i'd been lied to. Thought there was something wrong with the way I was doing it. |

"The moon being made of cheese.
Santa being real.
Shooting stars grant wishes.
Kiwis and crusts make your hair curly (I really wanted curly hair)"
I've heard about crusts making your hair curly, but not kiwi fruit.
I wouldn't eat them as a kid because I was told that they were the brains of a kiwi bird  |

Our school folders had to be carried around in a River Island carrier bag (non-sale one). |

Or a Jane Norman pink bag. I believed I also had to painstakingly cover every folder and every exercise book with a poster from Smash Hits! I then covered it over with the sticky back plastic roll from WHSmith to keep it pristine. My huge A1 art folder was a shrine to Tim from Ash |

"I tried sitting on an egg out the fridge too when I was about three, to see if it would hatch...."
Me and my sis did that with mini eggs. Even sat In the wardrobe to pretend we were in a pidgeon loft. |

The right place |
I remember crying when I was little when I heard my Grandma had broken her arm. I assumed it had come off as that’s what happened to my Action Man.
I was really surprised when I next saw her with both arms (one in a sling). |
