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 all women have a mole on the back of their necks, called a 'strawberry'My mum, sister and grandma all had similar moles on the back of their necks.
Primary school, I was no older than 8, and the class was discussing the differences between boys and girls.
"Can anyone else name a difference between boys and girls?" Said the very pretty Miss Buckingham (Oh, I guess I was 6 or 7). My hand shoots up.
"Strawberries, miss!"
"Huh?"
"All girls have a strawberry!"
"What?"
"On the back of their necks!"
Miss Buckingham showed me the back of her neck. As did some of the girls in the class. So I ran out of the room crying. Like a boss. I also had a similar experience when I named "a raccoon" as a flying animal, but that was entirely the fault of Mario Bros. 3.
