That big fireworks from far away could somehow land on my family's car and burn us to death. Brought to me by my older sister trying to scare me at the age of 7 ๐
That the moon was moving and following us when we were driving.
That going to the bathroom at a neighbour's house was rude and that I had to hold it in until we got home. I vividly remember this one time I was sitting on my mum's lap. She talked for hours and I couldn't hold it anymore, but I also was embarrassed to tell her I needed to go home, so I ended up urinating on myself. I still didn't tell anyone until my mum felt her legs warm and wet. I still hate using any toilet that isn't mine but I at least do what I need to do now.
I mean to be fair, the whole big fireworks landing on a car and catching fire can actually happen. Depending on where you're parked at wind and everything like that. I remember very vividly multiple times saying firework shows go awry and fireworks dropping to grass and such like that and actually catching fire on things. And even now I've seen things happen with fireworks where they drop nearby and I've actually seen cars catch on fire because of that. So that's not really an unfounded fear and it's not really something that can't happen.
That's true but we used to watch fireworks from nearby towns so I don't think we were ever really close enough to be in danger. I'd say we were at least 4km away. I just perceived big = close in my little child eyes.
