Children are rather gullible, they will believe anything they are told, and this is why most parents get away with a lot of things. Kids obviously lack the life experience that adults have, and that is why it is quite easy to get them to think anything is true. In fact, some parents have managed to convince their kids of some absurd things, and it's not even funny!

Sure, they do find out the truth sooner or later, but the time that they spent believing the lie is always going to remain in their memory and it goes on to become something they laugh about and pass on to their own children, as well. So, when Dr. Daniel Marven asked Twitter users to recall what were the dumbest things they believed in as children, they delivered. Here are some of the dumbest and funniest things that were shared.
