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.

Bangers and Mash
I remember being so excited one night as I asked what was for dinner and my mum said, "Bangers and Mash" but being confused when presented with a plate with a portion of mashed potatoes and a few sausages on the side... As tasty as it was I was fully expecting a mound of mash with potatoes sticking out of it, a lá the Beano.

So, your story is 'my tea was exactly the same thing I was told it was going to be'?

Mash with potatoes sticking out of it?
Jesus. Just how Irish are you?

Yeah, but next day
He got a Cumberland sausage with cocktail sausages stuck in it, to make up for it.

My nan would serve up bangers and mash in true Beano style.
She would also make me cow pie (no sniggering, please), complete with pastry horns and tail.

My nan was great.

The cow pie is class. What a great woman.

Thanks.
My other nan would peel grapes for me.

Not that I was spoiled, at all.

Sounds a bit carb-heavy, that meal.
