Children don’t have much life experience, so it is quite easy to make them believe almost anything. Sometimes they don’t even need convincing as they try to explain the world surrounding them with the knowledge they already have and get convinced of some absurd things.

Sooner or later they find out the truth and have some funny memories they can laugh at when they grow up. That is what people on Twitter were doing when Dr. Daniel Marven asked them to remember what were the dumbest things they believed in as children.

People revealed what kinds of lies their parents or other adults told them so they would keep out of trouble or to just troll them. What is even funnier is that other people related to the same lies. Are there any that you can relate to? If not, what were some ridiculous things you believed when you were a kid? Share them in the comments!
