things you thought as a kid

[Fauly]

pretty straightforward i should say

lets share those silly things we thought as children

i remember thinking that adults could read minds so whenever i was around an adult i would think of different things to trick them

for years.

that water was acid.

[Yosher]

that really cool and unrealistic stuff happened after i went to bed

[Plastiware]

I used to think that in order to make babies, a man, mostly-clothed, puts his flaccid snake into the circular, not-far-below-her-belly-button vagina of a woman, also mostly-clothed, and then they just stand there for a while until she somehow gets pregnant.

Naturally, this misconception didn't last very long.

This but on a bigger scale, I thought everything had feelings, got upset whenever my toys or whatever where dropped or mistreated.

My sister kicked me in the throat because I was about to throw her stuffed animal at the wall.

That is extremely common for children to do, its a kind of anthropomorphism. From not wanting to leave stuffed toys "alone in the dark" at night, to trying to save a leaf that fell on the ground. Not really a childhood misconception.

I used to think stuffed animals/ certain toys had feelings.

Same, however, pretty much all of us are the kids of the "Toy Story Generation"


I used to think things about aviation, but I dont remember quite what. Probably that my Aunt was the greatest person in the world for being a flight attendant.

I thought drugs were bad.

when i was little and didn't know what vaginas were, i thought that area of the woman was just flat and smooth (later finding research that reflected this didn't help lol). they pee'd and poop'd out the butt. babies either came out of the butt, or were taken out by surgery

i figured out the vagina part some time later, while also looking at research.

[Katadeus]

I thought that trees were brown and that the sun was yellow

I knew all along they had some kind of... other hole farther forward (I thought it was actually out front) which they peed through, but for a long time I thought babies were birthed through the butt.
