Stupid things you believed when you were younger

[long gone 8,929]

I will never have any more serious injuries after that bike accident in 2003.

 

2008: Pulled the long thoracic nerve in my right shoulder

2012: Tendinitis in my right arm, absolutely crippling

That people would see things like I do, believe what I believed... I was stupid for thinking that.

When I was really little I was dead afraid of "Santa", so I wasn't able to sit on "his" lap at christmas parties.

I was afraid that the beard would magically turn into stone and that he would try and whack me with it. XD (No real reason as to why I thought this, I just did...lol)

 

I thought that there was a little man living inside all the street lamps around the world, and whenever the lights changed/turned off it was because he would put up a red/green candy-wrapper to the wall for us to see. 

 

That's all I can think of for now...

I used to believe in Santa, but I didn't exactly like him.

 

When I was 5, I called Santa a "cheap bastard" for giving me a magnet when I was at K-Mart. Yeaaah I had a huge potty mouth as a kid...lol

I used to think smokestacks made clouds. I was always a pegasus at heart lol

And a weird one was that I used to be frightened of thunderstorms, so what I used to do when I saw a thunderstorm nearby during the school day was that I would try to hurt myself and bite my arms believing that I could go home if I went to the nurse and called my mom.

i used to believe that in every stoplight there were tiny hamsters running in wheels that changed the lights

Hehe, oooh looking back at little me...-w-

Little meh used to believe that, according to me mom, that if I cussed my tongue would fall off. Not only that, I would not let go of the fact that unicorns and the easter bunny were real!

I loved unicorns so much, I tried making a book about a unicorn who lost her brother and mother in a wolf attack...the unicorn even went to a high school, and threw a bowl of salad at the male unicorn trying to flirt with her. :3

Gewd times...

the only one I can remember was that songs on the radio were actually being played by the artist live in the radio station I didn't exactly get the concept of recording

[Washougal_Otaku 1,020]

I had this theory that our government had the ability to shrink people, and that they had employees working inside of traffic lights.

When I was little I believed that one day I would find my true love and be happy.

 

HA...HA...HA....   ....   ....ha.   ...yeeeaaah.  *sigh*

Here's a big one. When i was young - like 4 or 5. I heard that continents "drift" away from each other on some educational program i think. Now they didn't quite explain how that happened, but for some reason i was convinced it was going on because there are huge motors on the end of each continent pointing to the ocean and working like a motorboat's motor, pushing them away from each other.

• Babies grew naturally when you got married

Sex was only for baby making (not for pleasure)

I thought you fapped by slapping your, yeah.

[RainbowMau 291]

When I was a kid I thought that if you planted sesame seeds you'd grow a hamburger tree

[ReGen 1,466]

That Bush was our greatest president.

[Skullbuster 1,906]

while i was a smart child academically, that didnt stop me from thinking that jelly came from jelly fish, and that somewhere out there were strawberry jellyfish, i also thought that gravy was made out of grave stones 

[Woohoo 34,015]

I used to believe Hanna Barbera was a woman

[Sazama Ichida 2,367]

I used to think that using a credit card meant you didn't have to pay for something at all. That you could get anything for free.

[Swirl Heart 22]

*I thought you could get pregnant by kissing.

*I thought my toys would talk to eachother behind my back.

*I thought you could be a pony when you grew up.

*I thought checks were a way to get free money (ex. write down 100 dollars and you instantly get 100 dollars without taking anything out of your bank account).

 

*I thought there were tiny people behind the television, so whenever there was a problem with the TV, they would try to fix it.

That Santa Claus was real at 8...that all changed when my brothers nation attacked

[GammaDove 428]

I thought that whenever I turned of the TV, it would stop where I shut it off and would return to the same spot when I turn it back on,

My friend used to think that there were three different types of cows: vanilla cows, chocolate cows, and strawberry cows. Each cow made a different type of milk. Vanilla cows make vanilla milk, chocolate cows made chocolate milk, etc.

If you bred two types of cows, you would get a totally different one (ex. a vanilla cow and a strawberry cow make a chocolate cow).

 

Since there were mostly white cows where I am, she thought that there were mostly vanilla cows in the U.S.A, and the other types of cows inhabit different countries.

 

Interesting theory, but it wasn't true.

Maybe she just thought it came from a different animal
