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 cars had special switches for roundaboutsWhen approaching roundabouts as a child, it was a common event for me and my brothers to start screaming. This is because our dad had told us that there was a switch in the car and if he forgot to flick it then we would keep going around and around if we screamed. Sometimes he would have already remembered to flick the switch but sometimes we would go round until he could get to the switch. I remember hoping that if we did it for long enough we'd miss school.
Looking back, I wonder what made him think that driving with four screaming kids would be a fun way to pass the time and how long before he regretted his deception.
