I had lots of very dodgy beliefs as a kid - something to do with having evil older brothers. For example, everyone had some idea that if you swallowed chewing gum you died, but apparently other kids thought it was to do with gumming up your insides. My brothers told me that if you swallow chewing gum they hang you. Every time I accidentally swallowed some I waited in abject terror to be arrested, sentenced to death and hanged.
And that was only one of many.
