Growing up I always thought......

That quicksand was going to be a bigger problem than it turned out to be.

Freaking LOL'd.

I genuinely laughed out loud. Thank you!

Gilligan's Island would have you think that.

When I was growing up I thought;

"Another one bites the dust" was a song referring to the dust bunnies underneath my babysitters couch.

When I was growing up I thought I was going to get rich by making exhaust systems for cars made from stainless steel...

It must have been in 1st grade... we were learning about capital letters... all well and good with that. I did spend some time thinking about when we were going to get into capital NUMBERS....

I thought if I drank Tang I'd float like the astronauts did.

I also thought that if I happened to break my leg that Dr Rudy Wells would give me a bionic one just like Jamie Sommers.

For the longest time growing up, I thought these lyrics were accurate...."Life is a highway, I'm gonna ride it --- on my own !!!"

apparently, music isn't my thing.

I must admit, I was a bit terrified of quick sand as a child.


I've told this before, but I thought that in order to have a baby all a lady needed to do was get fat. And to get fat one must eat fat. When my mom and dad weren't quick enough at providing me a baby brother or sister I took matters into my own hands. For months I ate all the fat off of every steak, pork chop, or ham that my mother cooked.

Ha. I took the expression "sleeping together" literally. I couldn't figure out how two people laying next to each other asleep could result in a baby.

when I was a little girl I was convinced that big foot lived in the woods next to my grandparents house
and the boogie man lived in their basement

[gray73]

For most of my childhood, I honestly believed cars could jump across rivers and gorges with absolutely no damage just like the General Lee did.

[Frnkd]

I thought that the women was grouchy during that time of the month only because I didnt know that the kotx pad went on the panty. ouch!

OP been watchin' Blazin' Saddles a little too often.

When I was very little (around 4 or so), I thought the moon was made of cheese. Sorta disappointed to find out it wasn't.

Also couldn't understand why my mother wanted to kill dust bunnies. (At same age or younger).

Maybe I've wised up since then....sorta doubt that, too.

Ooooh, pulling out the big weapon, I see. I cannot argue with David Niven.

Especially this time of year - remember The Bishop's Wife with Niven, Loretta Young and Cary Grant? Fabulous!

David Niven was, and remains, the epitome of...everything. Truly incredible.

It's still not to be taken lightly though...

I feel stupid. I have no idea who that is. I suppose I shall endeavor to look him up tomorrow.

No, you shouldn't feel stupid at all. Just prepare for an epiphany when you do go further down the rabbit hole. Utter brilliance.

The Pink Panther! That's where I know his face. I feel so much better about all of this now.

Quite right! I was going to reply earlier and say "He's British", but that would have been way too predictable coming from me!
