What's something you thought was true as a kid but learned otherwise later in life?
-
If you swam before 30 minutes passed after eating...you would get a cramp and drown.

This is hard to explain. I used to think that if I got close enough to the TV, pressed my cheek up against the screen, as looked towards the right or left, that I could see what was going on off camera. You see what I'm saying?
-
I used to think mommy and daddy were just rough housing
-
I used to think a strip mall had strippers in it.
-
I thought the sleep train commercials were actually advertising to sleep on a train.
-
Where's the horse vag- oh...
-
I'd say santa claus but I always knew that was bullshit.
-
That people died on their birthdays because the news would say they were "x years old" rather than "x years and y days old".
-
Really dumb, but I thought the driver controlled the turn signals of a car with their mind.
-
I thought that a male human would impregnate the female through an exchanging of saliva.

Digging a hole deep enough would make you end up in China. Then I learned that you can actually dig a hole to China, but once you jump in the hole you'll be lifted back up. I forgot what causes that.
-
I thought Republicans had a shred of intelligence.

Edited by JayJ9Nine: 12/30/2014 6:15:44 AMLets see.. uh... touching Spunk risked pregnancy, was deathly afraid of that for some illogical reason.. All shows lived in their own universes. Especially cartoons. Voice actors confused me. Running like Naruto made you faster. Feel free to cringe. Thought wrestling was real. You could safely trap a snail or bee in an Easter egg and it'd still be alive 2 weeks later. Thanks Pokemon, at least 3 dead snails are in your head. Oh oh!.. this one is a little funny. I didn't understand what 'sleeping together meant', parents were watching some tv show and a rich poker big wig who happened to be sorta fat was trying to get this chick to sleep with him, offered her 2 million dollars. She got as close as the bed with nothing but a blanket around before refusing for sake of integrity. I was confused at her logic and stated 'that's weird, I'd have slept with him for that much money!... I mean maybe not naked like they were but... that'd be weird.. well if we stay on different sides of the bed then I'd do it' Didn't realize why my parents kept laughing.

I didn't think women had nipples. I thought you could reproduce with clothes on. That you just laid together and magical shit happens. I thought that ginger ale had ale in it and I was badass.
-
I used to think my stuffed animals had feelings and aspirations. (Because they did!)

When pictures were black and white, the world for them was black and white. The face you had as a kid is the same face you'll have as an adult. That Earth's landmasses were floating. What I mean by that is I used to think you could go "under", say, North America, by swimming under it. I have a really funny one right here. Flies that entered your body were able to control you. Like, I remember, I was so scared of pooping because I thought a fly would fly up my asshole and fly all the way to my brain and start controlling my body. Bees were able to fly up my bath drain thingy. I though merely kissing would make you have a baby. I used to think that when I died, I would be buried, but giant killer polar bears would come scavenging around the coffins. I used to think that there would someday be a massive bee invasion and our only hope were birds that would eat all the bees There were cameras since the beginning of time. What I mean is that if I was watching a documentary about dinosaurs, there were actually cameras taping the dinosaurs, or there were actually cameras when the Big Bang happened. (didn't know what computer-generated things were)
