Good morning nigeria, it's another exciting week in the community where we have to share these thoughtful memories of how life was many years ago when we were just kids.
Normally, children are stubborn, they don't listen to instructions, some don't even want to know the consequences of their actions and so they tend to do things carelessly but in the end it would be the responsibilities of an adult to coach the child in the right direction. But what happens if the child acts reluctant when an adult tries to correct them? This is where the myth comes into play.

No doubt i was one hell of a stubborn child back then so i guess that is why my parents gave me a lot of these myth's because my wahala was too much for them to handle with just cautions and instructions.

WHAT ARE THOSE CHILDHOOD MYTH'S AND LIES I'VE BELIEVED MY WHOLE LIFE???

Well, not all myth's were to caution us or lead us through mischiefs but instead, some are just useless and meaningless. I understand that most of our parents also told us different versions of the original myths that they themselves were being told by their own parents and now every child has the same myth believed in a different versions. Take for instance in my case,

• I still do not know why i had to always throw my fallen tooth on a roof top for a new one to germinate in my mouth. This myth is so useless that i can't even figure out the reason for such. Shockingly you might have heard the reversed story maybe your parents always asking you to burry yours in the soil when it falls off. See why i said everyone now has their own unique myth version?!.

• A pregnant woman would never permit you to walk cross her legs because you are always short and ugly and now your physical appearances tend to be contagious and they wouldn't want their unborn child to look short and ugly like you! I mean WTH?!

• They told me whenever i'm having an orange fruit that i shouldn't swallow the orange seeds into my tummy else it would germinate and i would be carrying an orange tree on my head. If only i still remember the exact person that lied this bitter lie to me we for don fight.

Well these are just but a few myths i could remember at this time and it took me some good years of maturity before i understood that all these were just lies and never meant anything positive.
But despite all these, to be honest there is still one myth I'm yet to let go from my head, whenever i try to assume that it was just a myth, i end up believing it the more and that is the second myth i mentioned in this post so please pregnant women should help me out thank you in advance.
