Parents are so dumb.

What's the dumbest beliefs you had as a child?

When I was 4-5 I swore that bird seeds grew birds, thus the name. When my parents asked me to prove it to them, I planted a pile of bird seeds.

The next day there were loads of birds where I planted the seeds, showing I was right.

was "making the Santa Clause".

So then, I somehow related the sign of the cross hand motions to Santa signaling his reindeer to take flight, because Christ was born on Christmas Day.

Everybody knows that the "Go" signal for a team of reindeer is the "Wagons ho!" wave.
