re: What are some of the things you believed as a kid growing up?

I believed that people wore coats in hot weather to cover up their b.o.(instead of they have b.o. because they wear coats in hot weather).

I told my bratty little sister that they used a nine-inch needle for tetanus shots. I also told her that a booster had a needle that went through your arm, then they bent the needle into a hook and put the end back in your arm.
She went to the Naval Hospital in Hawaii for a routine tetanus shot and started screaming. Mom said "it is only a booster" and she screamed even louder.

I got a whipping for what I did.
