SanityNotIncluded 334 January 21, 2014 Share January 21, 2014 Not sure if this would be better suited to the forum lounge, but in any case the idea of this thread is simple: Share amusing misconceptions you had about the world as a little kid. As for myself, I believed that if a country didn't have the death penalty, it meant that they had to send criminals to foreign countries to be executed. At one point, I also believed that getting a dog to sit was a form of magic trick. What about you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenderIsAnIllusion 2,176 January 21, 2014 Share January 21, 2014 I used to think that the only country that existed was the usa. At one point I believed that death did not exist, and was simply a hoax of some sort. I used to think that condoms were actualy balloons....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson 58 January 21, 2014 Share January 21, 2014 When I was young, I thought I could be whatever I want. I don't have as much skill as I do dedication to be what I want. Ti's why I'm such an ass to my younger brothers; I don't want them to be as naive as I still am.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moaning Myrtle 196 January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 (edited) I used to think condoms were 'limb stretchers' and socks. I used to think that a toy dog with cheap disney makeup could attract and mate with a dog. I used to think that "fart juice" was when the smell got into a jar and turned from gas to liquid. Weird...
