Silly things you used to believe as a child -

[Aiko Heiwa]

what are some silly or stupid things you believed when you were young and a dumbass?

While some kids thought/think that the world used to be in black and white, I knew better. I knew the world was in colour, but I thought in black and white TV shows and movies that the set, costumes, and props were actually made in black and white.

Which is why to this day seeing colour photographs from the sets of old TV shows or whatever is weird to me.

 

[Dark Mirror Hole]

I thought murderers only existed in movies. When my mum told me they were real, I was mildly disappointed.

 

[Niachu]

I thought my mouth would melt off if I spoke too much.

 

[CatParty]

i, up until even right out of high school, thought alfredo sauce was made from white tomatoes

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

This animal expert came to my school and did the call mother gators make to summon their kids. He told us not to do that at home or baby gators would crawl through the drain.

I actually believed him.

And of course I also believed in Santa, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.

 

[The Hunter]

I used to believe in *snort* the bible! *snort* HAHAHA*snort*AHAHAHAHAHA*snort*HAAHAHAOINKOINK

Okay, really, I used to think that if you left milk out too long, it would eventually turn into a monster and eat you. I don't know how the hell I came up with such a stupid idea, I just did. I also used to think that wolves were imaginary creatures that only existed in fairy tales until I was like, five.

 

[Saney]

I used to think houses could talk.

 

[José Mourinho]

I used to believe that magic tricks are real.

 

[spaps]

I used to believe that Disney Channel shows were funny. Boy, have I changed my stance on that.

I was told cheese curds were candy in order to get me to eat them, and continued to believe it for years. When I see a bag of cheese curds to this day my mind immediately identifies them as "candy curds".

I don't really have too many of these things. My parents never had that "Aaw that's so cute that's he's deluded. Let's not correct him because it's cute!" compulsion a lot of parents do. If I said something adorable and wrong I was immediately corrected.

 

[pinkyucat]

I used to believe my parents loved me.

 

[LM 697]

I thought that skelatrons lived inside the toilet.

 

[Fibonacci]

I used to believe I was alive.

 

[Night Terror]

Was misinformed that when the ice-cream truck plays its song, that means it's out of ice-cream.
I'm not sure if I'd misinform my spawn (if I ever have any) like that.

 

[Tommy_Wiseau]

Ha ha ha, what a story Aiko through Darky.

I used to think ice cream truck was just truck for playing music because that's what parents told me. When I learned to read I tell them "I am not sure, but I think that music truck has ice cream in it!"

I thought it was hot at the South Pole. After learn otherwise I still thought it get hotter the further south you go but that it suddenly get cold again in Antarctica. So I thought it would be hot at Tierra del Fuego.

I used to think bank would promote me. They betray me, they didn't keep their promise, they trick me, and I don't care anymore.

 

[An Ounce of Vagina]

I knew people were buried in the cemetery, but I thought it was only under an inch or two of dirt.

A tornado once came near where we lived, and I heard that "The tornado is coming!" I assumed there was one tornado that was just always going around the world constantly.

 

[Bugaboo]

I thought that if you died when you were young you came back to life as an old person.
Mostly because I turned on the tv once and a movie came on where a chick got mowed down by a car and then it immediently cut to an old lady feeding her pet bird and because I have such poor facial reconigtion (even today) I thought it was her in the future.
Then I turned it off. BECUASE DED PPL SCAAARY.

 

[cypocraphy]

I used to get Kenny Loggins and Kenny Rogers confused. (I thought Loggins looked like Rogers)

 

[DykesDykesChina]

I used to think that the change you get at a supermarket is actually the money was missing in the sense that when you buy something for 100$, and give the cashier one cent, you'll get 99$ 99 cent in return.

Also, when I was 6 or so, I imagined that the world around me was a huge mock-up done by adults. I thought the the reality was largely different from what I saw everyday, maybe there had been a huge disaster or a war, but the adults had created an intact mock-up world for me to experience because reality was too terrifying for children.

 

[Something Vague]

My parents told me that babies were made when a man and woman really loved each other, well, I was hoping for a little sister, but when the little sister didn't come, I was afraid my parents didn't love each other anymore and they were gonna divorce soon and I was scared. I was also scared because if I really liked a guy, then I might get pregnant, just by simply liking him and with me hearing about pregnancy at an early age, I freaked out because babies I thought kind of just... happened if you liked someone of the opposite gender so I tried to avoid liking guys until I was 12 until I learned the truth and even then I didn't totally understand stuff.

I didn't really understand sex for quite a while, like, I seriously had no clue how to do it and was too scared to look that stuff up because I was afraid of seeing things that I couldn't unsee. I didn't know that there was thrusting involved, I just thought it was insert rod A into slot B and then just leave it there.

For one thing, I thought men were like women in that they could have multiple orgasms and can theoretically go on forever so I didn't know exactly when sex stopped, I knew men came, but I didn't know that after they came, they had to have a cool down period. I didn't know this until I was 19 when my

Also, I though that my vagina had tastebuds which was why they made flavored condoms. Also, I thought men wore condoms like, on a regular basis and not just during sex sort of like how women wore pads and tampons on their period.

The list goes on...
