Got a strange one here for ya, boys.

Growing up, I always thought that Jiminy Cricket from Pinocchio was a balding leprechaun, as opposed to an actual cricket.

I thought that his antennae were just two strands of hair. Plus, let's be fair, the top hat didn't really do much to sell him as a cricket, did it? 

I don't know, he just didn't look like a cricket, so I just assumed "Cricket" was just his surname, like how some people have animal surnames. I was a weird kid. 

The early concept art of him did made him look like a cricket, but not very identifiable to their audience. So it got to a point where someone, likely Walt himself, said, "Make him look more like a little man."

That's a bit awkward, but when I was little, I thought that during sex you just stick it in and pee........I mean give me a break, I was a bit slower in my sexual developement. I saw porn the first time with 13 and it seemed gross and awkward to me.

I thought what music is on a CD depends on what's drawn/ printed on the CD, so I once drew some stuff on a CD wondering what music would come out.....I think the CD just didn't work anymore .-.

I was sure if you wouldn't put out a fire the entire planet would burn away eventually.

I was convinced the diagonal line through a square was exactly 1.5 times it's side lengh. I was so sure, when I learned the Pythagorean theorem in school which said it was actually 1.41...., I at first thought it had to be wrong.

I'm still a kid, but when I was younger, I thought that "The Big Bang Theory" was actually funny.

We all have believed that we'll be carefree and that life is easy....then shit happens.

I recall that when I was younger my dad told me that if I kicked up dust, camels would inhale it miles away and sneeze.

I really did not want the camels to sneeze.

I used to believe my life was a TV show, and I'd sometimes" break the 4th wall".

When I was little, I thought parents had children by simply praying for them. I mean, that's what my parents told me when I was like 3 years old. At one point though, I realized that not everybody's religious, so I knew I was missing something. lol
