    Thought when people died in the movies that they actually died. Always thought to myself why would they volunteer for that! LOL

    LOL!

    I truly believed that when I grew up I wouldn't like sweets because my parents didn't so I thought I'd outgrow like I outgrew playing with dolls.

    My Mom had me believing that there was a 'parent handbook'. Every time she said no to a sleep over or dessert or because I said so and I asked why?, she would tell me the parent handbook said so and for some reason...then it was acceptable! Lol...wish I had that handbook now....

    I would love a copy of that handbook too!

    I'm so happy to hear that I'm not the only one who thought the world was really in black and white "in the olden days" :)

    I thought that my Aunt would be arrested for drinking (juice) while driving, when I asked her about it, she said that drink driving WAS illegal, but she was exempted because she was pregnant :/

    I thought that the power station/ power plant controlled the weather, I could see new rain-clouds coming out of the cooling towers. lol.

    I thought that cows naturally produced milk every day, and if humans didn't milk them, they would get sick and die, so we were actually doing them a favour by milking them :(

    this thread is awesome.

    Not "crazy" but, I have a little vertical scar about my lip (in that dent thing) and I used to think everyone had it until someone in 5th grade asked why I had the scar.

    Oh and my sperm donor (a.k.a bio-father) used to tell me that when I fell asleep all my toys came alive and hung out together, so I'd always try and pretend to sleep so I could catch them in the act.

    Also, used to think that when artists played on the radio, they were really there playing it live.

    not crazy but I thought Wonder Woman (Linda Carter) was the representative for Wonder Bra. I also believed that swallowing apple seeds would cause a tree to grown from inside me.

    That if you ate watermelon seeds it would make them grow in your stomach. I was horrified of watermelon seeds.

    I used to think that everytime you had sex, you had a child.
    I told my friends dad once (who had her and her sister) "you've had sex TWO times in your life"

    It's not crazy but I used to think teachers lived at school. I thought monsters really lived under your bed and in your wardrobe. Hm I also believed my mum when she said she had eyes at the back of her head, I tell the children at my nursery that now and they believe it too lol. I thought the tooth fairy made a castle out of all the teeth and redbull really gave you wings, well okay I was thirteen or something with that one but I was such a strange child so haha.

    this is really embarrassing, but as i grew up under a not very religious JEWISH house hold. My husband told me about how Easter came to be:

    The Rabbit symbolizes that when Jesus died, he was resurrected by having little bunnies nurse him back to health....

    i believed it for YEARS and i still get made fun of for being so gullible

    (sorry if this offends, i really didnt know at the time) lol
