What are some things you've thought that turned out to be completely wrong? Sexual or otherwise, things that were just completely off.

Me: When I was really little, I thought if you put a stick in the ground, it would grow into a tree.

I thought Abba broke up because they were so terrible that a terrorist group threatened to kill a bunch of people if they didn't break up.

On SG, for the longest time, I thought Random Fuckbag was an actual person, and wondered why they kept asking so much advice, and if they got banned a lot because you couldn't click on their name.

So what about everyone else? Unless I'm just extra stupid and the only person who does this.

I've done lots of things like that, way too embarrassing to admit to it though. wink

For one, I believed all the bullshit I was fed about being an integral part of the democratic system. Man, those were simpler times.

When I was three or four, I was extremely upset because the bottle of Mrs. Butterworth syrup wouldn't talk to me like it talked to the kids in the commercial.

My dad told me it was because I never finished my eggs. tongue

My sister taught me the concepts of "left" and "right" (the directions, not the political affiliations).

So she told me that that was my left and my right, and this was her left and her right.

So my unformed mind reasoned "Boys' and girls' lefts and rights are opposite each other."

Also, I was told if I ate the crusts of my sandwiches, my hair would turn curly like my father. This illusion was furthered by the small patch of curly hair that grow over the birth mark on my head.

Ha! I also believed Random Fuckbag was a person! tongue

I am thinking back on my childhood & I can't recall any assumption like that that I made. I was very coherent, even then!

For a good laugh, I'll share something my mom told me years later. She said that one time when we were waiting in line at the grocery store (I was about 3 yrs. old), I asked very loudly whether Santa Claus had a penis or not!! blush eeek

I was under the illusion that when I graduated college so many companies would want to hire me that I would have to beat them off with a stick.

Hmmm...I think that would be an approprate most humbling moment...

my personal proof of santa claus's existence was that I got a remote control car for christmas when I was 3 or 4. I knew cars cost thousands of dollars and my parents couldn't afford to just give me one for christmas, so it must have been santa.

As a kid I thought that monsters lived in the storm drains on my street, and that if I got too close they'd grab me and pull me in to kill me.

Then in high school I read Stephen King's "IT". The book opens with a little kid getting his arm torn off by the monster in a storm drain. That scared the SHIT out of me because of my personal fear.

I believed that if a cartoon character could walk over hot coals, I damn well could.

Yeah, that sucked....

I wish.

I thought 'genre' was pronounced "jen-aire" instead of "zhan-ruh".
