* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: [[https://www.iusedtobelieve.com/body_functions/farting/girls/ This]] entry on concerns a boy who thought bodily organs were the same as the instrument known as an "organ", and asked his friends why we never hear music from them. He mentions that they didn't answer, but later, one of them farted and the other said, "There -- there's some music from one of Olivia's organs!", prompting them both to laugh. The submitter notes that even now, he doesn't know whether the girls laughed because they just found farts funny, or if they found it funny that he didn't know the double meaning of "organ".

* DogGotSentToAFarm: [[https://www.iusedtobelieve.com/death/animals The page]] about animal death has many stories along these lines.
** One person's belief was about their dog Muffy. The truth is, Muffy really ''did'' get sent to live on a farm, but they didn't realize why everyone looked so sad when informed of this.
** Another poster's parents told them their cat was sent to a farm, resulting in MistakenIdentity. The poster visited his grandparent's farm and thought their barn cat was his cat, who hissed at them for petting it.
** Another poster's father worked at the shipyard which had stray cats to catch mice. The father convinced the poster that any dead pets were living in the shipyard until he was caught burying one.
* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: [[invoked]] The [[https://www.iusedtobelieve.com/bad_habits/sucking_my_thumb/sucking_my_thumb_d3.php "Monkey Child"]] was told by their grandpa that if they kept sucking my thumb, they would grow a monkey's tail. It just made them suck it more.
* TheDreadedThankYouLetter: [[https://www.iusedtobelieve.com/newsletter/september_2004/ This]] submitter hated sending thank you notes so badly, he believed that his parents were punishing him out of jealousy.
* NoLongerWithUs: One person's [[https://www.iusedtobelieve.com/death/animals/animals_s6.php submission]] was about how his DogGotSentToAFarm, meaning the family's uncle's farm due to them moving to an apartment. They didn't realize why everyone looked so sad when informed of this.
