I used to think that if I was sitting on the toilet while I flushed it, I would get flushed down the toilet.
I blame The Amazing World of Gumball for that.
If this thread is already a thing I'll delete it. I noticed I couldn't find one while trying to search it up so I thought I'd make my own!
The title is pretty self explanatory. What are some dumb things you used to believe when you were a kid? In terms of rules just don't make fun of people for stuff they thought was true in the past. We've all changed since we were children and if it's being posted the person likely doesn't believe it anymore.
I thought that Jeff The Killer(the creepypasta) was real (I blame my cousin).
He told me that he was real and that if you looked up an image of him you would die of a heart attack? So i never looked it up, but because I never looked it up I couldn't know if he was real or not.
Now I obviously know it's just a spooky story but I was terrified that day and didn't want to see that cousin for a solid few months haha
I remember having a friend ages ago I used to hang out with often. Since there's a lot of pine trees where I live, you would see piles of small, broken off branch pieces on the ground. She told me that they sucked your blood if you picked them up, probably due to them having a spiky appearence and I believed her to where I was scared of picking said pieces of branches up in fear that the barbs would pierce my skin and drink my blood.
For some reason I thought that if you drank alcohol and then looked at a microwave as it was on, your head would explode.
Our dad made us believe that our yellow totoro plush toy could come to life at night and was a bloodsucking mouse. My sibling and I got scared, actually locking it outside before going to bed and watching hoping it wouldnt squeeze under the door. Now looking back at this, poor totoro plush got accused :(
