RE: Hive-Naija Weekend Engagement #67 - “FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MYTH”
I greet everybody in this house ooo😁. It is hangout time and I am so happy to join the fun.
Childhood myths are numerous. I don't even know which to choose from but one myth that I fell for and still fall for today (unconsciously) is the one my mom told me. She said...
"Eating while standing will make the food move to my legs instead of my stomach"
So as I was growing tall as a child, my mom claimed that it was the food going to my legs and that was why I was tall and slim like a pole😁😁.
Thank God for education. I learnt better in school but till date, I unconsciously take a seat whenever I want to eat due to that myth😂.
Trust me, as a child then, I believed everything my parents said hook, line and sinker
Legs how na??? And u believed? How old were you?
Do you get? 😂
It sounds true though because you are standing, lol. Any child will fall for that. 🌝
Tall is even still peppering you.... What of the short ones but with thick legs? My friend's mum would always abuse her with it that all the food were directly going to the legs
😂😂😂
My mum used to say that instead of the food going to my tummy to digest, it is going to my legs. Her Nick name then for me was atinga...linga 😂😂😂

Haha. It’s actually a good way to make you sit while eating, hehe. My dad couldn’t really tell us this one because he was guilty of it. 😂
😂😂😂
Yes it was and it has stuck with me ever since.
