These were fun to read and here is one of mine. From the time I was old enough to appreciate sunsets, (age 8 or so) I thought that if I held my fingers up to my eye in the shape of a frame and clicked with my tongue, I would take a 'picture' and then when I died, I would get to see all these pretty sunsets in a photograph book in heaven. Well, since I am still here, I am still not able to ascertain if this will happen or not. Ha! That is assuming I go 'up'. :-)

From grandpa: Eat watermelon seeds and one will grow in your belly!

From me: If you had sugar diabetes, it was caused by eating too much sugar. The sugar would start building up in your toes (literally your toes would fill up with sugar!) and they'd have to cut off your toes, then feet, then legs....
You get the picture.

A whole year of taking money to school every Friday for the black babies and no black babies ever arrived.
Many tears were shed over that!

Love this one,I did the money collection for the babies too, called them pagan babies. I liked the idea of having my own "pagan" baby somewhere.

Being told our belly buttons were where we were "put together" never made sense to me. We always searched ditches as we were told baby girls were useless and were thrown in ditches when born.

Lindybug, thanks for starting this thread! What a great bunch of comments! I was smiling and laughing all the way through!

I still stop and pray whenever I hear sirens! Guess that would keep me awfully busy if I lived in a city.
Several of you thought that radio stations had real live bands. It's fun to think that in Radio's golden days they actually did!
My sister and I thought if we left Barbie and GI Joe alone in the bed that we would get Tutti & Todd. It never worked.

When I was six and had just learned to read, I found a box of "sanitary napkins" in my older sister's half of our closet. I thought that if they were "sanitary", then they must be for really special occasions. But then I couldn't understand why my mother was so horrified when I brought out that box of special napkins to put on the table when we were having company for dinner!

When I was small I just could not have someone touch my Belly button!!! Even after I was married!! I thought It would come untied!! LOL I'm SURE my Bro DID that one.
Also my mom said "if you had dirt in your ears and swallow a Watermelon seed it will grow out your ears!"
And at night I thought There were Snakes Covering my floor! I couldn't get out to go to the potty!!or make a sound or they could get me!!

My grandson wanted to know who was going to sleep in HIS bed (at home) when he came to sleep over at our house. Apparently all beds are in use at all times and people just rotate thru them!
