Ross McClearly asked Twitter users to share the “ridiculous” things they believed as a kid. He also shared his own “really dumb myth” that he believed.

As a child I thought “full” from eating meant you were full of food from your head to your toes. So when I was eating I would say “I’m this full” and like put my hand on my body where depending on how full I thought it was of food ????????

I thought that other kids got to keep watching TV shows during the commercials I saw. I seem to recall resenting that.
