Once when I was four our living room started shaking and all the windows became red and I thought it was blood then I saw a reflection of a lamp in a window and thought it was a UFO and that's when I started to cry and tremble.

I always thought that men had to ejaculate up women's butts to get them pregnant, and when the baby came out, they would be covered in poo.

I used to think that if I can't see someone, s/he can't see me.

I used to think that when I woke up and my hand was asleep that I could wash the tingly feeling off with water.
-Also thought the trails behind jets were rocket ships.
-I would wake up at night and not want to step off of my bed because I thought the floor was covered with bugs.
Another one I just thought of, anyone familiar with the Portland, Or area has probably seen the aluminum recycling plant out by the aiport that looks like it has a giant claw like mouth on top of it, I used to think it actually made a chewing motion that crushed the scrap metal.

Um. What? Did you grow up near a volcano?windwos said:Once when I was four our living room started shaking and all the windows became red and I thought it was blood then I saw a reflection of a lamp in a window and thought it was a UFO and that's when I started to cry and tremble.
- I used to think gay sex involved one man's cockhole opening up wide, then the other guy would proceed to bang it.
- I used to think aliens were out to murder me. Being in a dark room meant the aliens could come get me at any moment. I slept with a nightlight for years for this very reason.
- I used to think about that pink bunny from Tiny Tunes getting ****ed really hard. I was maybe 8 or 9.
- I used to think that the whole world was my story, and everyone else was just a minor character in that story. When I slept, the world slept. That's a good way to live life.
- I used to think the laugh tracks during sitcoms etc. were actual people across the world laughing through their TV sets. I would laugh along with them, even if I didn't quite get the jokes.

I have the urge to find and post a seductive picture of Babs Bunny in this thread, now....Docpan said:- I used to think gay sex involved one man's cockhole opening up wide, then the other guy would proceed to bang it.

In kindergarden (which I used to pronounce "Kindergardener") it blew my mind to find out blue and yellow mixed together made green. Then I spent the whole day mixing colors trying to see what made blue :lol
I used to think you could dig a hole straight through to China.
I thought if I concentrated hard enough that I could see germs floating in the air.
After seeing those car dealer commercials, I thought that cars were only a hundred or two hundred dollars, which at the time I considered a lot of money. :lol
One day at the beach, I tried searching for Puff the Magic Dragon...

I thought something lived under my old sofa. I always sat cross-legged on top so that it couldn't grab my feet. :lol

I don't know if I came up with that myself or if it's something my sister told me, but I thought that too!When I was younger, watching movies from the 60s, 70s and 80s (all have distinctive "looks" to them - probably because of film grade) - i thought the respective generations actually LOOKED like that.
and now, going into buildings (e.g. my old highschool) - that still look largely like their 70s counterpart, somehow looked different back then, than they do now.
Essentially the 90s/00s were in 'higher definition / crisper colours' than the 60s-80s.
Also, I still to this day, cannot comprehend what the world in the 20s and 30s would look like (And lesser extent the 40s) -- everyone wore zoot suits, and all the pictures/movies from back then just look so FAKE.
It'd blow my mind to be able to see that in person.
edit: i'm an early 80s child.

A friend of mine would brag that he drunk a whole bottle of poison once. I was awestruck, it was so bad-ass.
Another friend claimed to sleep with his eyes open. I thought that was very cool as well.

I remember finally, finally figuring out what sex was all about after seeing "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" for the first time. Patty-Cake became a popular past time on the playground for a while once I explained how things worked to my friends. :lol
I never thought the whole past = b&w colors thing. I was growing up when Nick@Nite was just starting up, so I would watch old b&w shows and colorized shows all the time and didn't think anything of it. I did however think all those old b&w shows were new but just thought they didn't have a lot of money so they couldn't use color.
I thought stuff like Dobbie Gillis, Patty Duke and Donna Reed never had a big budget; and was happy when shows like Bewitched and I Dream of Jeanie got more money so they could film in color. Also thought somehow I was directly responsible for Nielson ratings and that if I watched a show everytime it came on, they would make new episodes. Little did I know that these Nick@Nite shows would never get new episodes.
My favorite of these shows was Green Acres. I thought my viewership was personally responsible for when the show went to color, then I kept watching it thinking someday they'd make new episodes. My mom even gave in to my love for the show and would make me hotcakes - honest to goodness hotcakes. The more rubbery and aweful tasting they were, the better I liked them. :lol

I was so shy when I was little that I thought that no one on TV or in movies would ever let themselves be filmed naked; instead I thought they were always wearing some kind of skin-tone, skin-tight clothing for those scenes.
When I was really little I thought that kissing made women pregnant, if it were done just right, somehow.

I had a lot of weird, Christianity-induced beliefs. I thought Satan was always out to get me. That everything happened for a reason. Bad things were just tests of my faith. That angels in heaven watched my life through some kind of portal or something.
I basically took everything in the bible very seriously. Needless to say, I've denounced Christianity altogether.

The moon isn't actually spherical. It's misshapen with one side having more mass. The heavier side is always facing us because of the pull of gravity. I think it's sort of a like a teardrop shape, but without a point, with the bottom side facing Earth.PantherLotus said:

the first time I humped a pillow, I had no idea the consequences of my actions, and when I "accidentally" jizzed myself, I was scared shitless. I ran to the bathroom, cleaned up, and thought I was the first, and only person in the world for which that had occurred. That didn't stop me from doing it again and again and again and again.

A hypnic or hypnagogic jerk is an involuntary muscle twitch (more generally known as myoclonus or a myoclonic twitch) which often occurs during the transition from wakefulness to sleep (see hypnagogia). It is often described as an electric shock or falling sensation, and can cause movement of the body in bed. Hypnic jerks are completely normal, and are experienced by most people, especially when over-tired or sleeping uncomfortably.

Oh, I remember something from Kindergarten:
There was a black girl in my group and I thought "Ok, she´s black so she must taste like chocolate." So I asked her if I could kiss here and after that I was very disappointed that she actually didn´t taste like chocolate.

I thought they didn't have color like 50 years ago but it was there for like the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and stuff.
For some strange reason I would associate school with applesauce when I was in preschool.
I also thought a lot about blood not in a killing way but like what was in it and why do people have it.
One day I while watching Rugrats I tried to think about the concept of eternity and what it would be like to live forever. I got a headache and scared myself thinking that heaven would be scary. Also for some strange reason I thought of Michael Jackson dancing...
I thought that I was the only real person on the earth and that everyone else where robots.
I thought when the car knew where you where supposed to go and that is when the blinker starts.

I think it was a nearby store that got burnt down or something, or if that was at some other point. Hard to remember, one of my first memories.
