Childhood beliefs

[Dadaist]

OK, I was a sucker for the Redy Brek glow. When your mum and big sis both say it enough times, it makes an impression.

Anyway there is now a website of all our sucker stories :

Including my absolute favourite :

I was 10 before I found out that ice cream vans played music to get you to come out and buy one: my mum and dad told me they only played the music when they had run out!

Fantastic site!

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.
