Weird Beliefs You Had as a Child.

[Origami_Maggots]

I've known several people who admit to have had strange beliefs as children. Here are some of mine:

Dogs and cats were actually the same animal. Dogs were the males and cats were the females.

I knew that "The Key to the City" was an award that someone received when they were well liked. What I thought was that everyone liked you so well, that they'd given you a pass key to open every door and visit every home in the city.

If someone were to kill a snake, the other snakes in the area would band together and bite the person to death. To escape this fate, the individual needed to travel 100 miles away. Ninety-nine point nine miles was not enough.

The final one, to be honest, I'm not sure how much I believed. A boy in my first grade class told me about a dead end road. He told me that it was a road that if someone traveled to the end, the person died. I don't think I believed that, but on the same token, I wasn't rushing to the end of any dead end roads.

I believed time went slow as a child.

As a young child, I believed that everybody lived exactly 100 years, dying at the same time of day that they were born on their 100th birthday.

That'd be kind of cool...except for those currently over 100.

I didn't know anybody over 100. 😛

I believed that if I didn't say bless you when someone sneezed I wouldn't get Christmas gifts.
