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.

When I was younger the family hired a copy of ET and sat down to watch it. It shit me right up, I would have been about 6.I hated it, it was freaky. My elder, evil cousins told me that this sort of thing happened all the time and they'd had an ET in their house last year. We probably had one too, and they usually hung about at the top of stairs. I knew fear that day.
Fast forward 10 or so years and my mother finally explodes with rage. 'Why the blody hell do you have to sprint down the last half of the stairs all the time? You've knackered my carpet! If you tripped you'd bloody kill yourself!!'
It was only then that I realised what an effect the words of my cousins had had on me. for the last decade id walk half way down the stairs to where they turned back on themselves and then sprint as fast as I could, three steps at a time until I reached the 'safety' of the ground floor. Going upstairs was an all out dash, head down, using all my limbs for propulsion.
Of course I knew that ET didnt actually stand on the landing waiting to jump me, but I raced up and down those stairs all the same, no matter what, holding hot dinners, following guests, it didn't matter.
I fucking hate my cousins and even now when I'm visiting back home I have to remind myself to walk slowly when on the stairs there.
TL:DR? My cousins are cunts, I'm gullible and believe in aliens.
