Stupid things you believed as a kid

[Crises^]

When I was very young I used to think that animals talked to each other when we weren't around, as in spoke in Human speak.
Also got told by my mom that when i was flying on a plane at like 3 years old asking where the care bears were as I couldn't see them XD

My dad has always had a beard. A big dark full beard. When I was 4, he shaved it off and I didn't recognise him was was quite distraught at the stranger in the house. After I had decided that it was indeed my dad, I questioned the whereabouts of the aforementioned facial topiary. I was told, very seriously, that because it was such a windy day, the wind had blown it off his face.
I spent a good half hour in the garden looking for it.

Other than that, the usual stuff, tooth fairy, santa, that I could be a fighter pilot, or a wizard.

I thought that if you jumped off a building and landed on your feet you'd be fine. Luckily I didn't test my theory.

I used to believe that I would be able to practice black magic.
I wanted to learn to make potions and stuff.

I was REALLY stupid as a kid. Here are some examples...
1. "Having sex is against the law".
2.:"People used to live in black and white".
3. "Atheists hate god".
4."The tooth fairy".
5."The Easter bunny".
6. "Aliens don't exist".
7."Japan and china are same country and, everything there is made out of wood"

When I was 2 or 3 didn't speak to my mum for two weeks after she cut her hair...I was convinced she was an imposter.

My sister told me the green glow from the street lights at night were aliens coming to get me. I didn't quite believe her but I wasn't 100% sure

I believed that the reason humans outlived dogs, cats, mice, birds, really anything that was smaller than us was because their hearts beat faster than ours did. I figured that the smaller an animal was the faster its heart beats and the faster it died. I believed each animal, including humans, only had a certain number of heartbeats in their life and that once they were used up they died. Its silly to me now but it seemed logical at the time.

There's a scene in James Bond where Mr. Bond switches wallets with a criminal he kills so certain people will think he is dead.

A very young me says to my Dad "that isn't James Bond" at that exact moment, talking about how the actor playing Bond was not the one I was used to.
My Dad replies (thinking I was talking about the movie itself) "No, they switched wallets."

For a good half a decade after that I thought you could trade lives with someone, trade jobs, trade families etc. Just by trading wallets with them.

I... I was afraid to ride in any seat of the car except the middle after dark... I couldn't look out the windows much either. See I was afraid of Velociraptors attacking the car, as in, legitimately afraid of it, I dunno why, I loved dinosaurs, but it scared me to death.

Mine is really bad. When I was 8 I thought women peed out of their bum. I am not joking I honestly believed it. I felt quite dumb when I learned it came out of the... the... *whisper the vagina. Which I did not know existed.

I also thought sex was just kissing naked. Then again I feel like that may be a common one.

 

[McMullen]

God is the first thing that comes to mind. What a silly and childish thing to believe.

I used to think that comments like this actually helped matters.

 

[That Annoying Guy]

Also, that spiders are more scared of you than you are of them.
True? False?
I don't know but I don't believe it.

All I have to say to that is *ahem* HOLY SHIT FUCKING SHIT FUCK! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!
