I believed everything Disney taught me on a far too large scale.

I believed in Peter Pan, tried jumping off a 12 ft rise.

I didn't fly.

I did this with 15 feet, I thought an umbrella would vouch for my lack of parachute.

it didn't.

But it also happens in adults.

But the thread isn't about childhood vs. adult misconceptions, it's about things you thought whilst a you were a young child.

You didn't fly and now you're crippled

any adult that still legitimately thinks that doesn't have a problem with misconceptions, they're suffering from some sort of handicapation

I was smart enough to put a cardboard box below me just in case my parents lied when they said I could do whatever I believed in.

loving liars.

I WASN'T smart enough, however, to check where the industrial staples were in the box.
5 punctures, half an inch deep each. I clearly wasn't a happy 7 year old that day.

Children are stupid, handicaps are stupid. Children are handicaps. It's a handicap misconception.

That ADHD wears off for everybody with age.
Nope!

That getting kicked in the balls was funny and didn't hurt that much
That's mostly considering that I didn't get kicked in the balls until I was older.. loving ow.

That liking guys was wrong
How Ironic.

you just called yourself a handicap

how does it feel

[Clone v.117]

I thought I was a genius inventor and that by putting a sheet of plastic between two layers of cardboard it would be strong enough to use as wings and fly.
Luckily I never got around to making it as I had planned to test it by jumping off the roof of a two story building.

molestation sometimes happens to children, but it would not be correct to call molestation in general "child molestation," only because of the fact that it can happen to them
he wasn't wrong about what he said, he just said it wrong

not an apt comparison

it's a normal part of childhood development to associate emotions with inanimate objects (a misconception). it's a childhood misconception because you grow out of it (except for handicaps obviously)
