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.

Television DeathsI used to think that when people died on the telly that they actually had just been killed.
This didn’t bother me. I used to think the bad guys that got shot by, for example, Clint Eastwood were actual real life criminals.
The really stupid thing is that I understood that the characters in the show were played by actors, that’s why you’d see the same people in different programmes. But I couldn’t understand that the people who got shot and pretended (badly) to spin around and fall in the water trough were acting.
So I came to the conclusion that they must be criminals being killed for their real life crimes as they wouldn’t kill nice people in the show.
On the other hand, I refused to believe that anyone could be killed from having a fist fight. I’d seen fights at school and no one ever died. You only died from being shot, stabbed, blown up or drowned. Nobody ever died from being repeatedly punched in the face.
