Dumbest things you ever believed

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

ah? Was it not?
:noway:

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.

Same.

I didn't know what gay was until middle school, I thought it was okay to like anyone you wanted to and didn't understand needing special words or any of that.

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

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

I seen them and BSB when they were in Chicago together. Talk about amazing. I cried when NKOTB came out on stage. I felt like I was 13 again!

Another thing I used to believe when I was a little kid was that my Dad could talk Indian talk. He and another man that lived in our town used to always talk gibberish to each other and I just knew they were talking some kind of Indian language. :laugh: :laugh:

I remember one time when I was really little and it was summer time, my mom had the fan running at night and I was afraid of it because I believed the blades would come off and come after me and cut me up.

Another time my mom made the comment that fall was just around the corner and I thought if I walked down to the end of the block and looked down the street I would be able to see it. The street curved and I thought fall was right around that curve.

That if I said "bloody mary" three times in a dark closet in front of a mirror, she would appear.... >____>

I was at work just the other day and the bathroom door closed behind me ( I was cleaning with the door open) but the light was off. For some reason, I looked towards the mirror and that went through my head twice. I actually ran out of the bathroom scared to say it the third time.

I'm 32. LOL

I thought that the lead singers of Rush and Led Zepplin were girls until I was in high school.

poisongirl6485

I'll play nice and avoid the religion ones.....

That I would thin out on my own and grow taller instead of wider.

That Lance Bass from NSYNC was straight. Damn.



I also believed in Santa til I was 12 and was heartbroken when I found out he wasn't real.

my husband believed that sweat was the melted fat. He was 5, I think...

That teenaged acne ended at 20!

I think it's still true. the one you get after is called "adult acne". LOL

I thought that the lead singers of Rush and Led Zepplin were girls until I was in high school.

:laugh: :laugh: I used to think Alice Cooper was a girl. After all, who names their son Alice? :huh: :laugh: And for that matter, for the longest time, I was positive the lead singer of Culture Club was a girl. I couldn't understand why she went by the name Boy George.

This probably isn't the dumbest thing for me, but it's all I can think of right now.

I misunderstood the lyrics to a song by the Clash "Rock the Casbah"....

I thought it was "Sherry don't like it....Rock the cat box.... Rock the cat box"

Too funny! My brother said this "really" happened - my mother's favorite ceramic fish hanging on the bathroom wall crashed to the floor when he said this - he was 12.

If you eat before bed, it will get stored as fat.

Also, that muscle weighs more than fat.

Sublimely_Self_Righteousreused

That girls liked me for my looks. I was way wrong!!!

I think this needs to be refrased: actually I think it sitll holds some truth in it: say a palm sized muscle weighs more than the same size of fat becaused of the different density, right?

Apparently, I listened to my dad who told me Jello was alive and thats why it shook when you tried to eat it. My parents tell me I used to scream and cry whenever they put a spoon of it near my face. :embarassed: :laugh:

I used to think blackheads were little worms that were anchored to the bone and when i picked them ( I know, ewww) i wouild crush them between my thumbnails to kill them.

Also, when I came to Canada I'd never seen hockey ( i was 12) and I thought icing was when a forward slid sideways on his skates and kicked up ice in the goalie's face. I believed that for a long time.

And that the D.C. in Washington, DC, stood for something latin which would mean The Capital.

KariQuiteContrary

Ok. Embarrassing admission here.....When I was in middle school I totally thought Taylor Hanson was hot and that we'd meed one day and have cute little musical babies, No seriously, I completely believed that he was my soulmate. (If you don't know you Hanson was......Mmmbop. Yes that's right. I was in love with Mmmmbop).

Because of my father I've always believed that nobody drove YELLOW cars because they were all bad.. which is why they were called lemons.

I'm not sure when I first figured it out, but from the first time I ever saw "The Wizard of Oz" when the witch was mixing the poison, I thought the pestle (mortar & pestle) was a chicken leg; as if the poison was like BBQ sauce on the drumstick.

fromaquasar

When I was a kid when people said Boysenberry Icecream I thought they were saying PoisonBerry and I couldn't understand why people ate it, or why they were allowed to make and sell it! It also made me believe the Mr Whippy that came down our street was evil and I'd spy on it over the fence and cry when people offered to buy me icecream.

Maybe it's why I can't get enough Icecream now, making up for lost time

When I was younger, we used to visit relatives in Toledo, Ohio. We always stayed in the same Holiday Inn, which I thought was "Toledo". The first time we stayed at a Marriott I freaked out all "I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO TOLEDO!!"
