Is there anything that you were told or believed when you were younger that you found out was totally wrong later on?

I believed that story about gum staying in your stomach for 7 years if you swallowed it.

I believed that if you ate watermelon or pickle seeds they would grow out of your belly button. Still don't eat seeds today... LOL

My mom told me that if I didn't listen, the "big noise truck" would come, take me away, and put me in a crib where I could only ever eat bananas. I was quite afraid of this. Chat Icon

I also believed that one of my carnival goldfish lived for two years and would tell everyone about it. Turns out, my dad was running to the pet store early in the morning on a regular basis.

Maybe not "funny", but my mom used to tell us that our dogs had to leave and go live on a farm (they had really died).
I believed that for a long time until I was older and said "hey, wait a second..."

I knew that my first dog died but I was told that she was buried at a cemetery in New Jersey. I now know that my parents would never pay for a pet burial. Deep down I still sort of believe in the story of the cemetery in New Jersey.

Killing ants would make it rain. So be sure not to step on them if you wanted a sunny day.
