Stuff you believed when you were a kid

I thought god gave you babies and sex was something people just did for fun (I was half right).

If only he could learn to harness his powers for good.

That the Ghostbusters were real.
I bugged my dad to build me a ghost trap for MONTHS...

and also...when I was 5...
I thought eating those little pills that turned into dinosaur sponges in hot water would turn me into a dinosaur...

I pooped sponge bits for a week.

I thought, until I got into high school, that everyone's parents got a divorce eventually.

My friend told me that if I pulled out my eyelashes they would grow back longer and more beautiful than ever.


This isn't true.

i thought michael myers was real and that hiding under the covers would really keep me safe.

This happend to one of my friends.. her older sisters boyfriend told her that one day... so she went and plucked them all out............her sister thought it was FUNNY as hell..... ( Untill her parents found out, and grounded her for the entire summer)
My friend looked really well ODD for a LONG time.... they DO grow back..... eventually.....

I thought chickens got pregnant by bumping their butts together.

My birthday is November 5th and i thought everyone was celebrating my birthday but i then discovered they was really doing all the fireworks for Guy Forkes dam i have wanted it to ran on my birthday ever since

That "because" was not a word.

That the sun was about the size of a 10p piece. Have you ever held one up to it!

Also that the world was black and white once. Although this thought wasn't helped by my Dad telling me that he remembered the day he and everything else was converted to colour. The story was soooo elaborate. There was a change over period where some of the kids at school got the upgrade before others and that. Also everyone had to learn what the names of the colours were, they were invented by Hitler, but the technology was reverse engineered by the Americans after the war. Hence, Nazis in colour... Makes me want kids more than anything in the world.

awwwwwww!

I used to believe that if you built things out of ice, they would work.

My little brother and I were SOOOO disappointed when our Ice Helicopter didn't fly away.

I thought it was ok to give my animals chocolate.

I used to lay in bed at night and think that the sound of my heart beating was Herry monster coming to get me. The beat of my heart was his footsteps. I'd visualise him being far away on a long, winding path but getting closer with each heartbeat.

How fucking quiet was it in my bedroom?

I thought silverware had feelings.

For a while I thought women got pregnant through the butt because I saw a picture in one of my parent's sex books of a couple having anal sex (and, come one, why would anyone engage in sex if not for pregnancy?). I was about five.

I believed surgeons performed surgery with butter knives.

I believed in God.

I believed that if you opened all the car doors at once the car would fly away.

This isn't mine but it cracks me up like crazy. I had a friend who thought that the laundry got into the dryer through the holes on the inside of the washing machine.

And my little cousin at age 9 thought that your period meant that blood came out your butt. She also thought pee and babies came out there too. She refused to believe she had more than one hole down there. We told her to look but she said it was gross.

What an adorable misconception.

Yeah, that too.
