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.

ProstitutesA girl at school was telling people that when she grew up she wanted to be a prostitute (we were 10).
I asked my mum what a prostitute was. My dear mother thought for a moment, and very diplomatically answered "someone who sells their bodies for money". Vague enough to keep me innocent, but informative enough to not actually be wrong.
So for a worryingly long amount of time, I thought this meant that ladies of the night sold their vital organs, limbs or body parts for cash on the black market. I thought this quite a brave and noble thing to do.
