Childish Misunderstanding

So spoilers about the Santa thing
When I was little i lived on an airforce base and even though i could probably see planes out my window every night on Christmas I would look out my window and see those red blinking lights and I KNEW that was rudolph leading Santa's sleigh.
In 2003 we moved to MN from California and in 2005 my step-siblings brutally ripped that bandaid off.
I'm not gonna lie, i cried, and i just kept saying 'I saw rudolph I was rudolph.'
Not my proudest moment3 -

When I was small - too little to have a proper understanding of "the birds and bees" - I honestly thought it was called public hair. As in for all to see, for everyone- PUBLIC. I couldn't figure out why that very private area had something called PUBLIC.... right there !! *groan*1

I once received the advice of picturing everyone naked when I gave a school presentation...i don't think I've ever been more uncomfortable in my life 0

My Grandfather is a kung-fu Great Grandmaster, he was a student at Bruce Lee's Oakland school, trained with him and is actually the last surviving member (81yrs old)
I've trained off and on pretty much since I could walk and honestly thought we were Chinese until I was 6yrs old... Hahaha
Blew me away to find out I was in fact Mexican 7 -
When I was a child I took phrases literally.
I thought window shopping meant you bought windows and garage sales meant you bought garages on sale.
The term ' cupboard drinker' had me totally stumped

Oh man, I took stuff literally too. Still do, but to a lesser extent as an adult. I've never heard 'cupboard drinker' in my life, though.
People in my area always called it a "garage sale" even if they didn't have a garage at all and that bugged me so much. My grandmother told me it could also be called a "yard sale" or "rummage sale" and I would go around correcting people until I realized they didn't care. I am surprised I wasn't more hated as a kid, doing things like that! ha.1 -

I've heard about having to piss like a race horse, but when I heard it, it was always just "piss like a race horse" there was no other adjective, Russian, or otherwise.
Me too!
When I was little I noticed that black objects got hotter in the sun than lighter coloured objects. I asked my older (by 22 months) and wiser (according to her) sister why. Not wanting to lose face, she told me that the sun thought the black was a patch of darkness and so it shone harder on it to try and light it up. I believed her for about 3 years2 -

When I was quite young I used to think that people (actors) in movies who died in the movie sacrificed their life for the role...they agreed to die for real6

Cupboard drinker is a well known term here - perhaps not everywhere, I don't know.
It means people who secretly drink alcohol without their friends or family knowing.( ie they keep it hidden in back of cupboard)

Couple this with people saying they sound like a train and seeing the damage they caused on TV, led me to some bad dreams. We lived close enough to railroad tracks that we couldn't always hear the train, but we could hear the whistle. I used to have legit nightmares of a giant tomato, that sounds like a train whistle, flying from house to house, landing on them and squasing them.
Hilarious! Much more fun than real tornadoes0 -

Thanks for explaining that one! I don't think I've heard it, but I am familiar with the concept, "closet drinker" maybe is what they say in my area?

Yes, closet drinker sounds same concept.
The word closet isn't used much here - it's a cupboard or a wardrobe.1 -
I used to think that adults had their *kitten* together.
This is it right here. I remember being old enough to have this thought. Once you grow up, you're like "Uhhh, wtf?! There's actually NO ONE who's got their *kitten* together and is in charge? We're all just meandering through this mother*kitten* making it up as we go along? Scary!"7 -
Just this week I had a conversation with my 10-year-old son about political yard signs. He was surprised to learn that the property owners put the signs up to show their support for particular candidates. Apparently he had believed that the government put the signs up wherever they wanted just to let people know who was running for each election!4

The first time we drove out of the state, I was really surprised that Louisiana was the same color as Texas. I totally believed that all states were a different color, like on a map...6

My Grandma on my Dad's side was named Flo. She passed before I was born, but I guess I never caught on to that. There was this lady that lived next door to me and her name was Flo...I was certain she was my Grandma. I would brag to all the kids at school how I got to see my Grandma every day. The sweet thing played along with me too. I would spend every afternoon with her in her garden. They would even bring me dinner most nights because I never wanted to go home.3

I wanted my hair cut the same as a friends in kindergarten. When Mom said no, I decided to do it myself. I'm sure you can guess how well that turned out. Mom was FURIOUS and yelling about taking ne to the hairdresser and how it would take years to grow back right. Mom says I was very quiet the whole ride over, and when we got there all I asked is if she would visit me. Or I would never see them again till my hair grew back.
Apparently i thought the hairdresser was bad hair jail.5 -

My parents finally let me order my own food at a restaurant and for my debut I excitedly ordered a BLT. When the waitress placed my food down on the table my heart sunk and I began to fight back tears. It was a sandwich with only bacon, lettuce, and tomato. No hamburger. I felt so jipped. I thought a BLT was a burger with bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes on it. I asked my mom, sobbing, "who eats this???", and I could see my dad turning red from laughter. *kitten*.5
