Stuff you believed when you were a kid

At Disney World I believed that the crocs and snakes on the Jungle Boat ride were real. I was glued to the floor of the boat crying til' the ride was over.

I thought the fed-ex trucks were called blackmail

My friend thought that the sun and the moon were the same thing until she was 17 years old. She thought that the sun would go down and wait for it to get dark and then come back out as the "night sun".

Wowza.

hahaha, that is a much less insane policy for your mother to have.

LOL that's not a super power that's more of a skill points system

for myself i only believed in what i saw with my own eyes so naturally i believed that machines and technology would someday turn on us for using the hell out of them (not a joke, soon after i was a full fledged grade school atheist)

hahhaaa me too

I was not a pretty child and I always believed that if I was only pretty that nobody would ever be mean to me or hurt me ever again.

I also thought pretty girls were automatically nice (thanks Disney) so one day I said hello to the most beautiful girl in grade two and she sneered at me and told me to go away.

That I would never grow up and get old, and no one would ever hurt me...because even as a child I feared that most. I was also extremely afraid of dying.

I took the word pot literally. I thought my babysitter was smoking ground up pots and pans, and always wondered why anyone would want to do that.

I thought there were tiny people in the tv. I always wondered how they got out to go to the bathroom.

Let's see ...

That everything (and everyone) is eternal and when someone died it was because something has gone terribly wrong.

That the gods of norse mythology once lived but had all perished in Ragnarok.

That all grownups had money, freedom, and happiness (strangely enough my family was not rich by any stretch of the imagination).

Apparently I was wrong.

I believed cartoons were real and I wanted to be a care bear.
I believed that if I really wanted to I could be anything.

I thought my dad was the tallest man...he is 5'5"

Justice
Peace
Honesty
Merit

When I was a kid I thought babies came from kissing with an open mouth. Thank you, education!

The constitution.

Damn it, no wonder all my clapping hasn't brought it back to life yet.

Me too. I've sort of accepted that I will...but I've narrowed it down to not wanting to die because of something I caused myself (i.e. car accident I cause, alcohol poisioning, cancer from smoking, HIV from too many sex partners)...::shudders::

I believed my parents sent the sick kittens to a farm in the country to get better. liars.
