Stupid things you thought when you were younger

I used to think that pink lemonade was made by mixing 7up with soap. I stopped believing it when I mixed the two together and drank it.

Oh, speaking of soap. . .

I was always tricked by children's soap as a child.

I'd receive a bar of something, say in the shape of Spiderman, and the first thing I'd do is try to eat it.

IT WAS NOT CANDY! IT WAS SOAP! >:O

This reminds me of an episode of an anthology horror series. I thought it was from Alfred Hitchcock Presents but I can't find the episode. Anyway, every time the main character looks into a mirror, he sees someone behind him coming to kill him. Each time he sees it again, the vision picks up exactly where it left off last time he looked away.
that's creepy.

I read a Stephen King short story that's almost exactly the same.
 
I thought there was a guy in a room somewhere with a big board of switches that controlled each individual traffic light in the city, and he would switch them all off, and then switch them back on all day long :lol

I know that Stephen King story. It's called The Reaper's Image. This TV episode predates that by about two decades.
 
Before I knew what Deja Vu was, I used to think that I was a mutant, and I had psychic powers, but I needed Professor X to train me so that I could use them better. I actually remember having a conversation with my best friend about this when I was like 6, and some adult overhearing me and laughing, and I remember giving him a really dirty look.
 
It wasn't until I was 15 - you read right > 15!!! Until I someone at high school told me how Gay men have sex. I thought they just jerked each other off.

And when people said stuff like "she takes it in the butt", I would correct them saying that she's doing doggystyle, which can be easily mis-interpreted as taking it in the butt.

15 :lol :lol :lol Oh well, not many had internet back in 1996.

Now, we've got teens watching revolting stuff like 2girls1cup.
 
When I was very young (maybe 7 or 8), I wondered what girls had 'down there' a lot. Though I knew nothing about sex at the time, I did know that it was different than what a boy had, but I wasn't sure what. I assumed it was as cool and weird as what we had. Imagine my extreme disappointment when I opened up a playboy. My words to my friend were something like, "That's IT?? Just a hole??! How stupid is that!" :lol Only later did I find out how awesome it really is.
 
A child at recess told me that two men have sex by sticking their penis up another man's penis. I believed him.

I thought urine was stored in the testicles.

Thought that shows actually went on inside the television.

I thought rain signaled an approaching tornado.
 
I used to think that girl's didn't fart at ALL. Then my best friend, Carrie, farted while we were outside playing and I was like "What was that?!" and she was like "I farted" ... and I was like "But only BOYS do that" ... and then she was like "Nuh uh! Girls do too!" and then she farted so hard she shit herself... good times.
 
I thought that school summer break was like a year long. haha I thought that because we were in school for a year, we would be on break for a year. but that would make sense right, i thought things would be equal!! :lol
 
Another one I just randomly thought of. A little after SMB and the NES were released nationwide, I finally got it. I'd played it before because my friend had bought it in NY during the testing period and brought it back to TX with him. I was obsessed with it so much that whenever we were in the car driving, my eyes had to "jump" over the phone poles and other things because if I didn't... I would get crushed.

Actually, you weren't so far off the first time. Many gay men don't have anal sex, they just do masturbation or oral sex.

I was once having dinner with a couple of gay friends and my girlfriend at the time and the only person at the table to have had anal sex was my girlfriend.

:lol

So, you broke up with her and had oral sex with your gay friends, right?? :lol
 
Ugh, I know I used to think a ton of stupid crap, I just can't remember. Let me think here.

The only thing I can think of right now is that I thought vaginas were inside-out penises. So for instance, before you're born, either you have a penis that sticks outside the body and you're a boy or you have an inverted penis (vagina) which makes you a girl.

That definitely didn't happen. Girls don't poop. Hence why trannies are used so much in scat porn in order to cut down on CGI costs.

Once again, the child mind is not so far from reality . . . that is what they do when they perform a male to female trans-gender operation. (But biologically, I think the clit is actually a mini-penis.)

I'm amazed how many of these 'stupid things' are really not that stupid.

No . . . but I did actually try to have anal sex with her at some later point. It didn't really work.
<Insert bravado about being too big here.>
 
when I was younger, I thought that a birdie was a ball you hit kinda high, while an eagle was a ball you hit REALLY high. The nuances of golf scores were lost on me.

For some reason, I also thought that if a car drove over the lines separating the lanes, you would run out of gas faster. So you had to make sure to stay in your line if you wanted the most gas mileage I guess.

Also, my dad (bald on top) once told me that his hair got shot off in the war. I believed him.
 
-Women pee out of their butts
-If you hold your breath for too long, you'll immediately die
-Didn't realize the last "s" in "chassis" was silent
-At one pointed, I thought I had invented the word "wazoo". Both my friend and my own damn mom made fun of me. :(
 
For about two years I was convinced that I didn't live in New York, despite every piece of evidence to the contrary.

I think the biggest stupid thing that all kids believe is that being older automatically makes you smarter

also that it makes you immune to pain. I thought I wouldn't think needles hurt when I got a shot when I got older. Boy was I wrong.
 
Oh yeah, I called handicapped people "handy cats".


I'll also echo the "thought my parents were geniuses" sentiment. Although it didn't really occur to me until my 20s.... they're just not that smart. Last year at the dinner table the topic of world war 2 came up, and my mom asked which side the russians were on. so......yeah. That's just one example.
 
I used to think that to make fudge pops, you just need to freeze chocolate milk, that you could only cum when you were inside a girl (thought that was true until I was 17), that when a band didn't get played on the radio then no one cared about them anymore, that Rupaul was a woman (and had a crush on him until I found out he was a dude), that attempting suicide was cool (I blame it on growing up in Seattle), and that Collective Soul's "The World I Know" was the greatest song ever.

It still is son.

Or maybe, it really isn't that random. He has a plan for all of us.

PENIS!!
 
I bought Wall Street Kid for the NES a long ass time ago. Long before I understood the stock market. I was always buying the hot properties and selling them later and never understood why I didn't make money,

Well you are certainly don't react to it the same. I was at a lab the other day for a blood test and there was a kid about four years old . . . he was screaming his head off the whole time like they were about to kill him. Several of us in the waiting room couldn't help but to break out laughing.

When I got poke, I did say 'ow' and it hurt for second. But it isn't a big deal and it doesn't stop me from donating blood on a regular basis.

Yeah, I believed something like that. And when someone told me "No, a man needs to be involved." but then didn't really explain anything more, I just thought "Well . . . I guess a man needs be involved as a doctor to deliver the baby."

It doesn't help that you advertise as BlackAce. :P

IIRC, I was under the impression that the people in television lived there and were tiny people. Probably around the age of 3 or some such.

Probably not the most original, but hey - I was young and stupid. :P

Oh and I used to think I was choking all the time. Better yet, I used to run up to my parents and make them look down my throat with a flashlight to make sure I wasn't choking! :lol

I have learned since then that I am black no matter what my mother looks like :p

I wasn't blackace when I was 7

Yeah. Haha. "Ow" is about all I say now but man did I think I would be invincible as an adult. DAMN! THEY LIED!
 
I thought that people that died in movies were volunteers that actually let themself get killed.

I thought you could not get a tan through a window.
