There are so many things I believed as a kid. I can’t say I remember all of them. But for a brief period there was this particular news on T.V that Mars was going to crash into Earth. I remember my friends being convinced of it and talking about it. I believed the news too because its a legit source of information or so I thought. Turns out it just came close as it followed its orbital path.

I also believed in bigfoot and the loch ness monster briefly. Then of course there was Area 51 and the Rosswell incident where they claimed they saw extra terrestrials. I doubt any of it will pan out in our lifetime when it comes to Aliens.

I was convinced that having the light turned on inside the car was illegal and it was pretty much hard coded into me for years.

I swallowed chewing gum once because I was told it would stay in there for seven years. Proved them wrong in 24 hours. Surprisingly never believed in Santa or the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy. The fear of the “Old Man” was real though. My mom convinced me I would be kidnaped if I didn’t do my homework. I think that’s about it.
