WHEN I WAS LITTLE MY MOM USED TO TELL ME THAT IF I STEPPED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE HOTTUB AT OUR LOCAL AQUATIC CENTER WHERE THE BUBBLES CAME OUT I WOULD BE SUCKED DOWN INTO THE GROUND AND I WOULD DIE. MY MOTHER WAS SO CRUEL!!! LOL :P

My mother was under the belief for ages that if you went into Arcades by the sea or whatever, there were big men in there who would inject you with heroin, and you would become an addict. What a nice thing to be told by your mother...

Whenever my friend and her sister were little and would have to walk home alone from school they would drag one leg behind them and try to bite their ear so that any potential kidnappers would think they were retarded and pass them by.

Everytime we would be out driving and I would see a Budget sign I would think it said Bridget (because that is my name) I would always scream bloody murder and say we had to go to "Bridget"!

when I was little my parents took me to a National Park with lots of waterfalls, as each waterfall had a name I asked my dad for the name of one particular waterfall and he told me that the name was "the one that eats all Silvias" (that's my name) so there was NO WAY for me to go closer to the waterfall, for years I thought of the danger I was in, 'cause if I didn't know the name of the waterfall and actually gone close or touched the water I could have been eaten by the waterfall.

one day, i was in a museum with my parents, and i accidently touched one of the paintings. a guard came over and told me not 2 touch them, and I thought that they weren't supposed to be touched because they were still drying!i couldn't understand why, since they had obviously been there for years !!!!!!

When my siblings and I were kids [a good thirty years ago], our parents would take occasional weekend trips with their bowling league to Las Vegas. They told us that Las Vegas is in Nevada. Well, just one block east of us, there was a street called... Guess what? NEVADA. We used to wander up and down that street looking for Las Vegas and our parents.

A friend of my niece used to think that if a straw in a drink had half a wrapper on it, then you were in a fancy Restaurant.

On friday nights in summer my dad would take me and my brother to a "dairy queen" type of ice cream place. On the side of it was printed in bold black letters on a yellow background "DO NOT BLOW HORN" I used to think if we did, a bunch of thugs would come out of the building and take us inside and who knows what would happen to us after that...

I used to believe that if you were going to eat at a restaurant, you HAD to dress up... otherwise, they wouldn't let you in! So everytime my mom would tell me we were going out for dinner, even to McDonald's or whatever, I'd go change into a fancy dress, and wear my "clicky things" (they were these elastic bands with bows on them that you put over your shoes, and every time you step, it makes a clicking sound...)

i used to believe that at the Denver, Colorado restraunt "Chubbys" you would go in, pick a food, and pay the chef to eat it to make him more chubby.

when i was little my mother took me to the sydney aqarium, it was all good untill we got to the bit where you go under water and look at all the fish around you, i started screaming and holding onto the edges of the door blocking off all the other people because i thought we actually had to go swimming and get wet.
For a very very long time I believed that somewhere there was a small man whose job was to catch the bowling ball, restack all of the bowling pins in that triangle once you knocked them down, and then throw the ball back to you on the ramp.

WhenIwould ask to go to the laundry mat with my Mother,she toldme I would be bored. It frightened me because I thought it meant being nailed to a board so every time she went I would cry and beg her not to go.

When I was 5 there was a shooting at a Mcdonalds in California. I heard it on TV. I didn't realize someone actually shoots the gun and I thought the guns came out of the lights in the ceiling at Mcdonalds and killed people. I cried everytime my mom wanted to take me there.
