Stupid things you assumed as a kid?

[Kapi 215]

Whenever I watched TV, my mom always said all they saw when she was younger was black and white. I always thought she meant PEOPLE could only see B&W, and that only kids could see in color.

 

I actually thought the moon was blue, and that stars blew up like dynamite. And finally, when my mom taught me about the bible, I thought that when people died, they were hung on a cross.

I used to think bees killed dogs, true story, my dog got killed dad blamed it on bees when it was actually somefather who's name shall not be mentioned, forgot to tie the collar and the dog ran away got hit by a truck and there wen't my first pet

I used to think that there were magnetic plates under the road (one for every car), and to 'switch-lanes' when driving on the freeway or some other road with multiple lanes; required you to 'signal' the magnetic plate to shift your car to a separate lane.

 

I also used to think that babies were made by kissing on the lips...and that actors wore an invisible wax-based cover so they could kiss the actresses.

 

I used to think the chorus in the song "I'm Blue" went: "I'm in need of a guy" rather than the ba da ba dee da ba dai (or whatever it is.)

 

I used to think only the bad kids would have their parents deliver the presents on Christmas. And that Santa was reserved for only the good children.

 

I had always wanted to be in thick fog, because I thought you really could cut it with a knife. (An episode of Scooby-Doo showed Scooby cut a doughnut out of the fog.)

 

I used to think that all the friends that moved away would see me again.

 

I used to think that My Little Pony was for girls.

 

I used to think Internet Explorer was better than Firefox... (EPIC PHAIL)

 

I was sure there was nothing cooler than Sonic the Hedgehog.

 

I always though books would be easy to publish.

 

 

...Maybe I should stop here before I bore somepony...

I used to believe after you put your money in a parking meter that you activate a bomb inside. If you take too long to return and the time hits zero, the meter explodes and destroys your vehicle.

 

I still don't trust them though.

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

I used to think Santa was real, then I learned that it was really the Easter bunny delivering the presents

[Shankveld 4,949]

That 100 was the largest number ~

I used to assume that computers and technology generally worked the way that they were intended to work.

[Vicke 3,189]

When there was a lot of fog outside i use to belive that the Water Tower had walked away due i couldn't see it in the fog.

That life was just a dream created by mind and in real life I was in a mental hospital. Before that, I thought everybody was a robot.

That whenever it was a cloud-covered day, dragons went hunting. I was terrified of being on the freeways, afraid a dragon will come and swoop up our car.

[Spock 91]

I used to hate getting rick roll'd. I thought the 3ds would have a redesign by now. and i thought that all toasters toast bread (but mario corrected me)

[Luurilka 325]

I thought coup was spelled acoup.

 

I thought a magic sky dad controlled the worlds events from his heavenly lair.

 

I thought you could win The Game. (not really, I just said that to make you loose The Game)

[Breathing Fire 1]

I used to think that when everyone was asleep was when ghosts came out and have huge parties during the night thanks to watching Scooby Doo and stuff. I used to think that when I left a room it would be like in Toy Story and my dolls and other toys would come to life and complain about me. I used to think a sock monster lived under my bed. (THANKS FRIENEMY!) I used to think hot sauce was made from the devil's sweat. I had once believed that if I stayed up all night on New Years I would see the Green Flash (anyone who's seen Arthur as a kid knows what I'm talking about) I used to fall asleep at nine on the dot and my parents would flash a green light on the wall to trick me. It was clever. I also used to think that something lived in my closet at night watching me. I thought if you dug into your TV screen and climbed into it you would be in your favorite show and get to stay there forever. (God if only that last one was true. I used to plot my 'grand entrance' to the Kanto Region with that theory.)

The last one: Total awesomeness

I thought that babies were made by two married people being in close proximity to each other for an extended period of time, as if the energy of their love magically caused a baby to appear.

 

I thought that all clouds were made out of the trails of jets. I would see them passing overhead and be all like, "Look, cloudmakers!"

 

I thought that the present tense of drowned was drownd.

 

I thought that if you could use your brain's full potential, you could fly.

 

I thought that Pluto was so small that if you stood on it and looked waaaaay in the distance, you could see your own back.

 

This one's kinda sad, but every week in kid's church I would pray for forgiveness for a way that I had sinned the past week and promise to never sin again. The next week I would remember something I had done since last time and THEN promise to never sin again. And the next week. And the next week. And the next week. And the next week. And the next week.

I thought that I would eventually be able to keep my promise.

eating carrots would help you see in the dark.

 

oh and i also believed that my straight hair was caused by me eating my crusts.

 

damn parents..

[83awsm 234]

I believed in all the fictitious Holiday characters

Never knew how planes flew just assumed that they did

Thought that the TV commercial count downs on how much time you had left were true (bugged the crap outta my parents when I saw something I wanted)

[Finesthour 7,287]

When I was little, my mom would use the ATM a lot.

 

I thought she asked it for money, and it gave it to her.

 

And I thought "I can't wait until I am old and get free money!"

That whenever it was a cloud-covered day, dragons went hunting. I was terrified of being on the freeways, afraid a dragon will come and swoop up our car.

 

Who said we don't go out hunting?

[OLDNOOBSNOODLE 17]

I thought there lived an old man down in our basement that liked to eat little children, and he liked to give grandpa candy ...

[Espionage 113]

That if I didn't get out of the Laser Tag arena after game, robots would come and attack everything not out of the arena...with real lasers that could cut through anything.

[Retro*Derpy 3,185]

When I was real young, like 4, I asked my grandparents why their orchestra music just kept playing on and on, and never ended. They told me a perfect song never ends    Than I found the power of insta-repeat. 

[Scootalove 10,689]

I thought that if you brushed your teeth every night, you would be visited by a weird fairy with a huge toothbrush. Man, my childhood was weird.

I assumed that I could fly but when I tried to when I was about young colt. I fell straight into a thing of gasoline and I was squirming in it.

[Pinkamena Dianne Pie 465]

I believed when I was young that, when it was raining outside where I lived, it was raining everwhere else in the world too. qp
