Stupid Little Things You Believed in as a Child

petergriffin246 · 02-15-2008, 04:43 PM

Ok well I saw this on another forum and it made me crack up. Just name silly things u believed in as a child such as "I used to think penguins were 7 feet tall and fed on human flesh". My stupid that i believed in was that I used to thing to have sex a man had to pee in a females vagina. Disturbing I know.

Jeez. There goes my soul, you bastard. I'm off to kill kittens with nails now.

Something I believed was a little more specific. I used to live in this apartment next to this older couple. Well for some reason they used to tell me a skeleton named Charlie lived up in the attic, they even "showed me a picture of him." I was never scared or anything but I look back on it now and wonder what the hell was wrong with them. Or for my parents who knew they used to tell me this.

I remember seeing coupons as a kid that said "Save 35 cents!" or whatever, and thinking that it meant that you have to give them all the money you had on you except for 35 cents...you save 35 cents.

There's a telescope observatory at the top of a hill I can see from my house. I used to think it was a giant golf ball and on top of that I thought it was the giant golf ball at Disney World.

OK... I Confess!!!!

When I was little, I was afraid to go down the "condiment" isle at the grocery store because I thought they had birth control devices on them.

I WAS SLIGHTLY CONFUSED BETWEEN CONDIMENTS AND CONDOMS!

There....now you know. I was an average dweeb 6th grader growing up in the 60's and 70's.

petergriffin246 · 02-15-2008, 05:35 PM

why would u want birth control at age 11?

Ewok Droppings · 02-15-2008, 05:36 PM

I used to believe that Dan Reeves would somehow pull together a decent game plan every time the Broncos went to the SB in the 80's. I kept thinking "this year he's gonna get it right!". Nope - never happened for Reeves.

My older cousin tricked me into believing he was a robot from another planet sent to earth to look over me. He said his spaceship was in the ball pit at DZ Zone and he needed to take my toys back to his ship to analyze them and make sure they weren't hazardous. It was very elaborate and very weird. I can't believe I believed it.... but in my defense, I was 8.

Ramplate · 02-15-2008, 07:44 PM

Brownies were going to come out of the forest and kidnap me

I read in the encyclopedia that they kidnapped little kids

When I was real young I thought that "Orion's Belt" was just his belt buckle, and that he was actually huge and his whole body spread across the sky.

Brock Landers · 02-15-2008, 08:34 PM

When I was little I thought the Moon was following our car, like it was gaining on us when we were driving.

**JBond** · 02-15-2008, 08:45 PM

I recall being confused about the moon as a little kid, but nothing as concrete as that.

Lol I remember when I was little watching it do that. Like I knew it wasn't but it was cool to watch it and think it was.

I also remember that I believed my mother when she told me my kitten Fireball (he was black and white, and I was about 5 or 6 so thats why he was named Fireball) ran away. And then again when my next cat Milo ran away.....the witch gave em away like she does all her pets.

Didn't want it, just afraid someone would see me on the aisle and think I was looking for it.

I used to believe that my happy little life would last forever, Santa would always bring me gifts, jesus would always answer my prayers if I was good, money would never run out, my mother would always protect me and my friends would never leave me. Talk about a silly imagination.

Steve from Indy · 02-16-2008, 02:35 AM

I remember believing that if I didn't wash between my toes, that I would end up with webbed feet. I guess I believed that because I have a cousin that a couple of webbed toes as a kid. Lord knows what other silly things I believed. I'm too old to remember them, but I'm sure I had plenty of them.

Where's my elephant? · 02-16-2008, 02:41 AM

I was 3 years old when that "Magic" video by The Cars came out and well...I believed that someone could walk on water.

Then I grew up and became familiar with the term "special effects." It was a good childhood while it lasted. LOL

MasterChief117 · 02-16-2008, 10:50 AM

Well, when I was lil kid(Oh, I can see it now when I tell this story to my grandchildren). When I was little, I watched Batman(Michael Keatons and Jack Nicholsons) and I remember being terrified of Joker, I could never go to dark spots because I thought Joker would get me. (It also doesn't help i'm terrified of DAMN clowns.) Not to mention I had a Batman spread with Batman and Joker on it. Lol.
