Stupid things you thought when you were younger

I used to think that each country of the world was it's own little planet.

i also used to think that tv shows and movies were actual camera shots of the people in it in thier everyday lives. I would get confused when an actor's two movies is playing at the same time on different channels.

Hmm, back then most movies I saw were wild west movies and most people dying were native americans/random cowboys and not the leading actors. And I probably was too young to even recognise most actors...
 
When I was like, 5 years old, I thought there the distance from a electricity cable pole to another alongside the highway was 1 kilometer. I kept counting all the way to 200km on our way to our grandpa, and was stunned when we werent even close to being there when we travelled "200km". :lol

Ive said it before and Ill say it again: The metric system simply doesnt work
 
Almost all bars / clubs advertised on the radio were actually brothels.

"No cover for ladies all night!"

"Free sex on the beach!"
 
Everytime I heard a low flying plane or helicopter, at school or home, I would get nervous and think Red Dawn was actually happening and look for the best way to get out.
 
when a friend told me what sex was at like 5 or something it blew my mind. i wouldn't believe it for ages. for some reason i seemed to think a pussy sticked out alot too, like a dick i guess.
 
I used to think that we had a limited number of words that we can say out loud, so I told my mom we shouldn't talk if it was not absolutely necessary >_<

I also thought that boys come from a couple of men, and girls from a couple of women. Then my father asked me how is it that I have a man and a woman as parents, and I was speechless <_<
 
-Sex was a boy and a girl kissing on a bed, naked
-Black people happened randomly regardless of the parents' color
-Every big US city resembled NY

Well you could try Manace, but that sounds too much like "menace" or it could send the wrong message otherwise. "Man ace, oh reeeeeally?" :P

Oh here's one my parents pulled over on me.

If you didn't pop a zit, it would grow into a horn. Like an animal horn. Terrifying!

What's worse, is when I questioned why I haven't seen people with horns before, they told me. . . they grow on the inside! :O
 
I must have sleep through the menstruation part of sex ed becaues I thought guys got periods too. During halloween when everybody was carrying the tubes of fake blood, I'd be in the bathroomg going "look guys I'm getting my period" while squirting out the tube into the urinal.

Took like 6 months before I figured it out when I asked a buddy if he got his period yet and he's all "wtf?".
 
I use to think that:

*Women were superhuman but they only got their powers for a short while after having sex with a man, then she beats him up and goes about her business.

* My toys could all talk and were alive but they never did it in front of me because I was a bad boy.

* My older brothers were really smart and everything they said was true

* Some women had vaginas that were horizontal

* If you touched your belly button for too long your guts would spill out.

* Boys were'nt suppose to cry and if they did it was some malfunction

* You shouldn't do anything naughty because someone's always out of sight filming you doing it

There are loads of other stupid things I can't remember at the moment.
 
when I was starting catholic grade school, I believed it when the nuns told us there was a "Spanking Machine" in the principal's office, that we would have to ride if we were bad. I would always try to imagine what it would look like and picture a kid strapped into it getting his ass robo-spanked.
 
Oh yeah, the women peeing out of the butt was common.

I also thought that babies came from oral sex. When she swallows, it goes down into the stomach to make the baby.

Before then, I also had the "naturally happening" thing. Like, when a couple gets married, God allows the woman to randomly start growing babies (like tumors) at intervals. I mean, people said "God gave us children" and "God blessed us with a big family..."


Oh, and during the Lewinsky scandal, a friend of mine heard on the news that the two had had oral sex. He looked up "oral" and found out it had to do with talking, so he told me that oral sex meant people talking dirty (obviously over a phone).

I got this mental picture of Bill Clinton holding a cartoony rotary phone on a stand, saying "I'M GONNA KISS YOU SO MUCH" to Monica Lewinsky, who responded with, "I LOVE YOU BILL CLINTON."
 
I thought that you could speak different languages when you just switch the letters and that you have to recombinate them.

For example an "A" in English is a "C" in German, a "L" in French and an "E" in Spanish etc. I thought that this would make sense and couldn't believe it that it was quite more difficult. :lol
 
I blame a lot of the stupid things I used to think on a particularly cruel and creative grandfather..

- If you listened to music too close to a speaker, a worm would crawl out of the speaker and into your ear. The worm loved to eat brains.

- Chinese people are dirty and peel potatos while sitting on the toilet. (Why?)

- There really was a monster under my bed, and if it didn't hear me say my prayers before sleeping, it would disembowel me.

- Coca Cola would make you drunk. Drunk people go to prison.

- I had tonsillitis and had them removed. Apparently they went 'rotten' because I didn't say 'please' or 'thankyou' enough.

- If you watched horror movies or listened to 'evil' music, demons would come out of the tv/stereo and haunt your house.

Actually, looking back now... he was an evil old bastard :lol

GET OFF MY PLANE!


I asked my dad if my grandfather had kids............

I WAS 5 OKAY!
 
O lord I was over at my cuz house (we were 5 or 6) and we found an interesting tape left in the VCR. Apparently her dad loves the pornos. Anyways it was a full blown guy on girl action, we did not have no a fukin clue on what was happening. So we go some Nintendo guns, and start shooting at the screen, screaming out !look out for the PeePee Jello! We would dodge and shoot at the tv.


ah fun times...Espeically when her Mom came walking in, I remeber the Dad getting a Wooden shoe thrown at him.

PeePee Jello FTW!

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.

Uhh, replace penis with scrotum and you're basically right!
 
I thought the phrase Fringe Benefits was actually 'French benefits'...
Why do they call them French benefits, did the French start the whole idea or something?

and I thought the Star Spangled Banner sang at baseball games ended with
'and the home of the Braves'... which didn't seem fair to all the other teams to me.

It's gotten to the point where I forget I'm even half white until I see or talk to my mother :lol It's pretty fucking sad.

Also, I used to think that you peed into a vagina to get someone pregnant. And I bought into the "Make a face for to long and your face will stay like that" bullshit.

:lol

i used to think it'd go in the butt, actually. and that the baby would come out of there... sigh

I didn't ever go there because I always imagined that the ass is simply where shit comes out.

...and that's something I was not wrong about.

Damn... I thought I had one that no one had said yet. Although I knew they were different species', I just thought that all dogs were male and all cats were female.
 
The biggest one was that for a couple of years, I thought I was going to be killed.

1) When I was little, all I watched were crime shows. America's Most Wanted was my favorite. Seeing all these killers appear out of the shadows, I'd wake up in the middle of the night and was convinced I could see a serial killer's shadow. Then I looked out and saw it was a tree.

2) Before that, I watched a lot of shows debating the existence of ghosts. I was deadly certain there were ghosts in my house. I wouldn't enter into certain rooms because I suspected they were haunted. That fear went away when I began obsessing that serial killers were after me.

3) I also thought I could program a Nintendo 64 game using the BASIC program on MS-DOS. I was 11 then. It did lead me down a road of programming text adventures and RPGs with simple graphics for a couple of years.
