One of my friends believed that running after rabbits while throwing salt on their tails made them easier to catch.
And one of my sisters made a very convincing point explaining me tea was distilled cow piss. I was 8, she was 20 and used just enough scientific vocabuary for 20 minutes to have me believe her.
I'll leave this one here.
When my daughter was little and me and my husband would play video games she was smart enough to know that she wasn't playing the game because she couldn't see a character for her.So what we did was give her a controller that was not plugged in or the batteries were taken out or something and tell her she's the bad guys. Like we'd play Mario and she'd be the turtles and goombas.there's a little uneasy because every time we'd I should laugh and go haha got you I got you dead. Lmfao
She believes that until she was in kindergarten. After that she said that we lied LOL does she isn't the bad guys. I think mainly it was because she figured out the controllers really didn't work. Lol
I once had my youngest brother fully convinced that brown cows make chocolate milk. He said they just added chocolate to it. I said that was dry chocolate milk. They do that so it last longer just add to white milk and it makes brown cow milk. I even thrown in that pink cows make strawberry milk but pink cows are hard to find that is why strawberry milk is hard to find in the stores. It would of worked but he asked our Mom and she told him the truth lol.
But that's nowhere near as bad as when I was a kid. My two older brothers convinced me that cattails the plant are called cattails because you have to bury a live cat to make them grow. And then they took me to where a bunch of them were and they said each one was a dead cat underneath. They got in big trouble when I told my mom.
There’s a nearby farm that has acres of daffodils and they invite folks to come visit in the spring. We would take my kid to play in the flowers and take photos. He loves nature so always enjoyed it but one year he didn’t want to go and we couldn’t figure out why. He really insisted we not go.
He really loves dinosaurs and watched anything dinosaur. One of the documentaries he loved had a segment about Edaphosaurus and they were preyed upon by the vicious dimetrodon.
So, he thought we were asking if he wanted to go see the Edaphosaurus and didn’t want to go because of the potential for dimetrodons.
I once convinced my little sister that if she ate seaweed she'd become a mermaid. This was during her Ariel fase and when we later went to the beach I got in a lot of trouble when they found her searching for the seaweed and trying to eat it.
My uncle managed to also convince me that cockroaches were made of chocolate, everyone was grateful I was way too slow to catch them
