Dumbest things you ever believed

Iamfit4life

I was born in Tacoma

and I've always been a bit of a nut.


So I thought that I had dropped from space, into the space needle, and then into my mothers stomach.

Yep. Thought this for years.

That cotton candy dissolved overnight.


(Went to a carnival when I was 6 and got cotton candy, didn't eat it all. Left it on the kitchen counter and in the morning it was just an empty bag. My sibs told me it dissolves. I believed that well into my late 20s.)

While I was growing up in a military family, I thought everyone had free healthcare, prescriptions. Because why wouldn't you if you were sick?

I had a very similar problem growing up. My dad is a pastor and we lived in the church parsonage. AKA, we didn't have to pay bills/taxes any of that because my dad's salary is based with that money already removed, I had no idea that people had to pay rent/mortgage/electric/water bills until I was in middle school...

I thought the singer of all the Bruce Springsteen songs was Don Johnson (from Miami Vice).

I thought dogs were the boys and cats were the girls.

I thought that football players walked around with their shoulders hunched up.

I thought that the "No Littering, $100 Fine" signs on the side of the road meant that you weren't allowed to litter, but if you wanted to throw a 100 dollar bill out the window, that would be okay, and workers wouldn't mind having to clean that up.

When I was little, I thought you had babies out of your butt. LOL

That doing a certain thing would make you go blind.

Thankfully it only gives you bad eyesight and needing glasses. :embarassed:

I thought that if I looked hard enough in our garden I could find Thumbelina and bring her inside my house to live in my Barbie's camper.

Some things are worth wearing glasses.

"When I was little, I thought you had babies out of your butt. LOL "

Ha Ha ha!! My older sister told me this was true!!!

I used to think babies came out of your belly button. Boy did I get a shock when I learned the truth...!

That a woman knew it was time to start shaving when the hair on her legs turned dark. Mine were white blond until I was 12. When I started getting teased for not shaving is when I started, even though it went "against" what I believed...that my hair wasn't dark yet.

There is this Billy Joel song "your only human" and as a child I thought it was Bill Cosby singing it.

Don't ask me why.

Well since we can't talk about religion...

...I GENUINELY thought the New Kids on the Block were singing just to me.

I really went to fetch a "bucket of steam" when I got broke in on my first fast food job..."Hey, go get me a bucket of steam"...Yes, I was a dumba$$...

What an absolutely silly thing to believe...

Joey was singing to me, for me, and always about me.

capriciousmoon

For some reason I thought "Don't Stop Believin'" was "don't stop a beaver"...

I grew up in a tiny town and we had a shallow ditch between our yard and the road. When I was a little kid, when it rained a lot and that ditch filled up with water I believed I could actually catch fish out of it with my little home made fishing pole.

My birthday often falls on Memorial Day. Since schools are closed on Memorial Day, I always thought that my birthday was more special than everyone elses, because we got the day off for ME!!!

I'm still just as arrogant, but I've learned that we get the day off for other reasons....

moushtie

I believed that religious people were all good.. then I got hurt.

Oh.. I believed that gay people just kissed a lot of people - because one boy at my school liked to kiss everyone, and he was called gay. I didn't make the same-sex association for quite a few years.. mostly when I started being accused of being a lesbian.

muscle turns to fat, and vise versa.

Well since we can't talk about religion...

I'm with you! I'm being very restrained here!

I used to always put my crusts from my sandwiches in my dogs' bowl. They loved them and ate all of it...

Only about 6 months ago when somehow this came up over dinner that my mum told me they never ate them, and she threw them away when they went hard! I NEVER KNEW TILL THIS DAY!!! 20+ years on!

I also believed the doctors who said my wife's MS "might not be that bad".....lying *kitten*.

and finally... that i didnt use to eat that much really.... =/

annepirtle

LOL!! I thought the very same thing.

When I got my 1st paycheck job at 13, I thought the money they took out of my check for social security went into "my account". Why else did I have a social security number, right? Boy was I freaking p*ssed when I found out that the old folks were getting my hard earned money!

That I'd always have my 21 yr old metabolism.


I MISS being able to eat whatever I wanted.

Ahhhhhhhhh the days of skinny fat.

I always thought he was calling his parents or something. lol

That's awesome. LOL

Breakfast was the most important meal of the day...

That my Dad knew EVERYTHING. I was heartbroken when I got to an age where I asked a question and he couldn't answer it. Gutted!

That the reason you shouldn't wear white shoes after labor day would be because when it snowed, you wouldn't be able to see your feet. :huh:

lol
