But then why did the black and white photos not become coloured like the paintings did when everything changed?

I was going to post something similar, wtf is it with watermelon seeds?
My dad told me that I'd grow a watermelon plant in my belly if I ate the seeds-I cried too when I accidentally ate one
That the moon followed us in the car at night. I would watch it and it always stayed in the same place

I swallowed a marble once. Within the next few days I discovered my balls. For a very very very long time I thought it was the marble.
Breakfast is absolutely the most important meal of the day. Of the three traditional mealtimes, by far the most important one is where you put food into your body after waking up from your overnight fast. There is no serious disagreement on that whatsoever.
Whether most people are eating the right things for breakfast is a completely different discussion.
Because they are actually colour photos of a black and white world.
These are more in the What I Was Told category than What I Believed.
After Grease had been released, my 12 year old cousin tried to convince my brother and me (primary school kids at the time) that they had put Vegemite in John Travolta's hair to make it look shiny.
My cousin liked to spin a few yarns back then. She also tried to convince us that sewerage workers wore special gloves to handle poo as they picked it up from the end of the toilet pipes and threw it into a big waste area.
Another dodgy tale she told was that actors in TV shows were actually having a drinks break when commercials were on.

When I was a kid in 3rd grade (pre-Internet), I never understood why Star Wars: A New Hope started on Episode IV. When I asked some other kid at my age in school about it, he goes...
"Oh, Episodes I, II and III is actually Star Trek I, II, III"
Even I knew he was talking nonsense. It wasn't until around the time of the re-release of original trilogy for the 20th anniversary in '97 that I was correctly told that the prequels were coming.

... and now he is right
It's actually seven but kids under 12 shouldn't be in the front seat in any case
That being at school is the best days of your life so enjoy it. **** that, I condensed more enjoyment into the three years following Year 12 than my Dad obviously but then again I had a ready supply of Green Mitsubishis
I thought that chicks were like naturally hairless until like 13/14
Also didn't know anything about those feminine um....times of the month til about the same age
Ahhh, a better time

That if you sat too close to the TV you'd get square eyes.
That if you "sat on your feet" instead of sitting nicely on a chair you'd cut off the circulation and your legs would die and fall off. I think it was just Mum wanting to keep the seat cushions clean.

When I was in primary school one of my friends told me if you sneezed, burped and farted all at the same time you would explode. Since I haven't seen anyone do it before I cannot confirm if it's true or not.

ummmmmmm i'm hoping you didn't discover this untruth recently
I said I thought this until I was 13/14.......
I was told that if you sucked your thumb you'd get buck teeth. Thus I spent most of early primary school bullying the kids with buck teeth.

Me fail english? That's unpossible
I remember misinterpreting my Dad when he said in around 1976 television turned to colour from black and white. Since I had only ever seen 'old' pictures on TV in black and white, I assumed that ALL OF LIFE was seen in black and white pre '76, and I wished I would have been there in 1976 when LIFE suddenly turned to colour.
