This is a question What nonsense did you believe in as a kid?

Ever thought that you could get flushed down the loo? That girls wee out their bottoms? Or that bumming means two men rubbing their bums together? Tell us about your childhood misconceptions. Thanks to Joefish for the suggestion.

Being a junior science geek,
I enjoyed working out how things worked. Sadly, I did not understand the differing states of matter, being rather young. So it was my belief that metal had water in it which is why it turned to liquid when it got really hot.

To prove this, I took a lighter to toy car with the aim of melting it. This led on a few months later for me to attempt welding with a box of matches. Luckily Mum caught me before I burned the house down. Luckily, I later learned the basics of how matter works and to be honest it still blows me away to this day.

Woo Science!
