When I Was Little, I Thought

swest222

that there was such thing as a "banana worm" .. my dad told me once my banana had a worm in it being a smarty pants (the black down the middle if it's too ripe)

Xandi

That a shower curtain rod would hold my weight while I spun around on it!:)

mommared53

That I could actually catch fish from the ditch that was between our yard and the road after it rained. I lived in a very, very small town and the ditch was no where near a river or lake.

That when my mom said spring (or any other season) was just around the corner I thought I could look around the corner of the road and see it.

That if I dropped my baby brother, his head would pop like a balloon.

K1Teacher

That snow melted to milk (lived in Katy, Tx - no snow)
That I would get pulled into the toilet when I flushed if I didn't jump out of the way
That my dolls "watched" me at night - sometimes I had my mom turn them around at night time

RoadDog

Thought I could jump off the roof using a bed sheet as a parachute.

Didn't work out as I had imagined it would.

That if i squinted really hard, thought hard enough, and held my hand in front of me like Darth Vader, the cup would lift off the table on its own.

That Eddie & the Cruiser was a real band and Eddie Wilson faked his own death.

That bad things happen when you step on cracks.

That basketballs caused warts on your hands. I was in wrestling. I was good. My coach and parents told me the warts I had on my hands removed were caused by playing with a basketball. Basketball and wrestling season are the same time of year. Took me a while to figure that one out. I'm ashamed to admit a good while.

I thought a politician that I met one time put beer in my Coca-Cola .. and I still have my suspicions. :indifferent:

QueenofCups

....that animals really spoke like us, just not around humans b/c they didn't want to be sensationalized.
Also, same goes for toys, dolls, and stuffed animals. As long as they had mouths, that is.

(And I confess, I am not altogether sure I was wrong. )

wey1983

That my parents really were just "wrestling" :blushing:

My dad always told me it was barking spiders when he farted. "See, there goes those barking spiders!" LMAO!!!!

I believed I could truly dig a hole to the other side of the world to see China...and that fire ants were my friends.

So did my dad. Still does. Weird.

I thought no drinking and driving meant you couldn't drink anything. I thought the action of drinking while you drove was the dangerous thing.
I didn't understand about alcohol.
My parents sure did laugh at me when I started crying because daddy wouldn't stop 'drinking and driving.'

In the early 80's I thought my mom was going to die. That was when the AIDS epidemic first became news to my 3rd or 4th grade brain. There was also a diet aid (chocolate flavored wafers) that were called Aides. Mom would eat them...I just knew she was going to die!

thumper44

I used to jump over the cracks in a sidewalk because that's where I thought the worms crawled out of when it rained.
I ducked when we drove under a railroad bridge, when a train was crossing because my mom told me it might fall on us.

For a few years after seeing King Kong, I would have a nightmare that I would see him coming across the field, and he would come right for my apartment building, for our 4th floor apartment, and for my bedroom window to reach in and grab me.
This went on multiple times.

Bumping!

Also, bracelet was bracelick until I was in high school. Breffast is still breffast, just for stubborness. And I didn't know it was pronounced "breakfast" until I was in college!!

TexasNurseMom78

I thought Mr Rogers and all the sesame street people lived in my TV.

Ashbee1224

The 12 days of christmas song " My true love gave to me" ...part was... "My TULIP brang to me"

Heather75

I used to be afraid of balloons. BALLOONS!

I never drank the chocolate milk that came in the gallon jug from the market because my dad always told me when we would ask for some that it was made from the regular white milk that had gone bad and they just add chocolate to it and put it back on the shelf. I still to this day can't drink chocolate milk! LOL!

LOL! In 3rd grade me and my best friend spent every day digging a hole! Never ended up anywhere though!

I thought my dad was superman and would always be able to glue my Barbies heads back on, get my ball out of the tree and clean my scraped knee.
I thought that i would play Barbies for the rest of my life with my sister because...what else was there to do?
I thought little kids stayed little kids and that adults stayed adults....adults were never little kids once....that would be impossible.
I thought it was normal not to have a mother and that older sisters were your mom, and that dads always did little girls hair.
I thought the white lines in the sky was Santa Claus taking his sleigh for a test run even if it was July.
I thought that if i woke up while Santa came Christmas Eve that he would leave before you came out and i would not get any presents.
I thought children were supposed to be seen and not heard.
I though flowers were where thumbelina really lived and that she lived right outside my window.
I thought the lion picture hanging above my window became alive at night and watched me.
I thought the toilet would swallow me at night and that i would drown.
I thought that if you flushed a fish down the toilet, it was sent straight to heaven, but of course this only worked with animals not humans.
I thought it was normal to play in the dirt and have holes in your jeans even as a little girl.

It is! I was that kind of little girl, too, and I am DEAD normal.

That babies lived inside mommies tummy in a salad bowl with French dressing!

I thought my parents ordered me out of a catalog, I was delivered by a truck and arrived in a cage. (I'm adopted - how else would it work?)

crewellademel

I believed that black velvet came from black puppy dog ears because they were so soft. Of course, I just throught there were tons of earless dogs (especially pugs) running around.
