This is a question What nonsense did you believe in as a kid?

Ever thought that you could get flushed down the loo? That girls wee out their bottoms? Or that bumming means two men rubbing their bums together? Tell us about your childhood misconceptions. Thanks to Joefish for the suggestion.

That if you ate the pips from an apple core
An apple tree would grow in your belly really really slowly and eventually you'd die horribly with branches growing out of your mouth. I ate a whole apple core once as a playground dare when I was about 6, and spent the next few months awaiting my imminent death.

Also, as a child I had bunk beds (for no apparent reason, as I had a room to myself). I slept on the top bunk and was utterly convinced that Grotbags from the Rod Hull & Emu show was laying on the bottom bunk, and if any part of my anatomy dangled down she would rip it off and eat it. Many's the night I pissed the bed as I was too scared to climb down the ladder to go to the toilet.

Grotbags?
I never knew who was down there, but I also refused to encroach past the boundaries of the top bunk. When I did leave safety, it was by leaping from the top so that the element of surprise would enable me to reach the door without my feet being grabbed.

And again, yes to the apple tree.
