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.

Where's Gladly ?My grandparents were God Botherers, so I had to go to church frequently as I spent a lot of time with them in my childhood. One Sunday when I was around 3 or 4, apparently I searched the church at the end of the service, looking for "Gladly".
"Who's Gladly ?" my grandmother asked.
"The bear ! The bear with the funny eyes ! We sang about him last week ! Where is he ?"
My Gran couldn't work this out - we'd sung about a bear ?!? I was too young to go to Sunday school - there was no such thing as crèches back then, so what on earth was I on about ?
A quick chat with the verger to go through the hymns sung on the previous Sunday, and it all made sense:
"We shall now sing hymn number 311 - 'Keep Thou my Way'"
which contains the line:
'Gladly the cross I'd bear'.
