When I was a kid (I’m guessing 5), there was a house nearby where my grandma lived which had a statue of a small dog outside their house. The eyes on this statue were made of glass, and looked incredibly real. I remember standing there staring at the thing, extremely tempted to try and touch the eyes just so I could convince myself that the thing wasn’t alive 🤣. I probably stood there for about 5 min before I finally got the courage to touch it and realized it was just glass.

I was convinced that thing was going to bite me when I touched it.

    My uncle jokingly told me.that if I farted and hiccuped at the same time I’d die. I was like 7. I fell for it. Bad. He had to call me at like 11 at night to tell me it wasn’t true and just a joke so that I could stop crying and actually go to sleep that night. All because I got the hiccups and started to feel gassy…
