Oh man, I was a gullible kid.
I believed everyone in the world had an exact twin (not actually related, just someone who looked exactly like you) somewhere. The Flintstones taught me that.
I thought there was a state called Arkansas (r-kansas) and a different state called Arkansaw.
I thought there was a giant sculpture of an apple in the middle of New York, like the size of a 5 story building (and really, why isn't there?)

I used to think that when you would shit outdoors, it would turn into pine cones.

A friend told me in the second grade that men made babies with women by peeing inside them. Thank God I figured out he was wrong by my second sexual experience.
Similar to the Thundercats, I firmly believed that lightsabers were real, but obviously too dangerous to sell to just anyone like guns or what have you. I still really wanted one though, and asked my dad if he would get one for himself (thinking maybe I could use it, or at least see it). Keep in mind I was 4 years old when Star Wars came out and rocked my little world. I also used to think you could become a Jedi, but that it was just rare so that's why I had never seen one.
When I was a bit older I either saw some show about nuclear war or read something about it, because I became convinced that everytime I heard a jet plane in the sky it was a nuclear missle coming down to nuke Calgary. I had terrible insomnia as a kid because of my insanely overactive imagination. I still remember my dad sitting on my bed explaining for the thousandth time that it was just a plane and everything would be fine. Damn my parents were patient with me, I was a fucking looney little kid.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
My parents told me that when I was real little I thought people in old black and white photographs were really that color,like they had grey eyes and skin tone....I was fucking slow

Same here! I kept thinking "they don't have weewee's, so obviously the only option left is the butt"MIMIC said:
Also, I thought Jesus was a girl. So I would say things like "I don't like Jesus, cause he's a girl!"
I also thought when I got mad my face would get red and steam would shoot out my ears.

LOL, damn i'm not the only one...though for me it was B&W movies...i thought the whole world was like that, black&white, until someday there was color. Fuck, come to think of it, i could have been rich if i turned it into Pleasantville. :mad
But i am redeemed somewhat because i never believed in Santa Clause
when i was really young i thought that all wounds were fatal. i fell and scraped my knee when i was 4, and was convinced i was going to die. i remember saying to a friend, "i've been blown to sardines." i'd misapprehended the phrase "blown to smithereens," which i'd heard on transformers.
i also had a really hard time distinguishing between the words "mouth" and "mouse." i remember my mom saying "mouthful" in some context, and i heard it as "mouseful," which really confused me.

Whenever suicide was mentioned on the news or something, I thought they were saying "sewer slide." So if anyone had committed suicide, I thought they just went on a slide that ended up in a sewer. And I thought "Yippee! I wanna do a sewer slide! Because the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are in the sewer!"
I used to think that the world could just be some huge kids ant farm and it got dark at night cause he would put a top hat over his Earth Bowl ( like a fish bowl just that it was earth in it) and it would get dark for us. lol.
I also thought I could become a jedi. I used to sit there and try to think things to move. It never worked. I still try every once and awhile. Maybe it doesn't kick in still your 30 or something.

Wierd that Calder and I had the same stupid idea has children. My mom made the mistake of showing me a film call the day after tomorrow. It was about a nuclear holocaust occuring in the US and a few people that survive. After I saw that I constently kept an eye out for planes thinking each one would have a 1000 megaton suprise for me. Also , after that fox alien autopsy special first aired I as terrified I'd be abducted in my sleep for a few months.
As an 8 year old I saw both critter movies and thought for sure they too were out to get me.

I used to think that when someone was fired, the boss took a flamethrower to them.
Oh, and why would anybody nuke Calgary? Strategic cow production or something

I used to believe that when a somebody was shot, stabbed, or otherwise killed in a TV show, it was real. Not that the programs themselves were real, but that actors sacrified their lives for the sake of the show. I thought those actors were so noble to be willing to die for a television program.
My brother and sister (both older) would tell me that I was born with six arms. I belived them from when I was like seven until I was around 11. Honestly those two would torture me so bad saying I was some sort of freak with a ridiculous amount of limbs, what a horrible childhood.
When I hit about 11 I realized that they were talking shit but before that, God damn, what assholes. They said I had all these limbs that were amputaded becauses I would be a scientific anamoly. Come to think of it, they were damn smart for their age fucking with me but honestly, fuck them for making me think I was a freak.

I used to think that Tommy Lasorda was just the world's oldest baseball player because of how coaches in baseball wear actual uniforms. In fact, i would have imaginary baseball games with Tommy Lasorda.

I thought brocolli were trees put into a shrinking machine.
I also thought cauliflower were snow covered trees that were shrunken by a machine.
Everytime I looked in a mirror I thought I was looking into an alternate universe. This got even crazier when I looked into 3 mirrors at once(one facing, 2 diagonally facing me).

I thought a womans vagina was this huge baseball sized hole in their crotch when I was a kid.
I also thought that I could get eagle vision and see things miles away if I just ate enough carrots, so for a couple weeks I ate like 5 carrots every day. My mom made me stop that when she found out.
