Dumb things you thought as a kid?

[ch2s]

I remember when I was maybe in 2nd grade I didn't understand why calling someone a "sucker" was an insult as I thought they were saying "soccer".

I honestly didn't think girls pooped until I was 11. I was walking with a female friend of mine from the neighborhood pool back to our houses. She started acting strange and panicking and after I asked her repeatedly what the hell was going on she told me "I have to go to the bathroom, now!"

Anyway, there was no bathroom, so I told her to go behind a tree. (we lived in a very woodsy neighborhood with lots of secluded areas all around). She walked slowly behind said tree, stayed there for a minute, and for some reason couldn't bring herself to poop on the ground... and she literally shyt in her bathing suit.

She came out from behind the tree and was crying, the poop was running down her leg and the smell was awful. It messed me up for years.

If you marketed chocolate chips (your idea of one) you would probably end up a wealthy man.

I used to see my parents watching The Today show in the mornings, and at the end of the show they used to say "Tomorrow, on Today". I didn't understand that the show was called "Today".
I thought it meant something like that stuff was supposed to be on the show tomorrow, but they've got time left today, so they're playing it a day early.

When I was really young I thought God was an old white man with a big white beard and a blue wizard cap (Think Gandalf or Dumbledore), and that if you went up into space far enough you'd hit a brick wall you couldn't get through and Heaven was on the other side. And no... I don't believe these things anymore.

[edsters]

I thought everyone in the world (even my family) weren't actually humans, but some other reptilian alien creature who were waiting for me to get comfortable enough around them and then they would kill me (srs).

It's a mental disorder of some sort that most kids grow out of iirc..don't remember the name.

[MrTony92]

when commercials said a movie or new series was 'coming soon' I would wait for hours too afraid to change the channel in case i missed it...

[Ganjamayne]

Used to think "heart attack" was "hard attack"

Oh and I used to think Wayne Gretzky's name was "Winning Gretzky" because he'd win all the time.

I used to think OP was a cool guy, until reality hit me like a brick and realized he was a *******.

[RippinLBs]

I used to fly a lot as a kid, and while in the air, I didn't believe that I was actually going anywhere. I used to think that the pilot would take us up into the air for a long enough time for the ground crew to rearrange the "set"/geography and when I landed the actors/actresses would be pretending to be from somewhere else.
