    When I was REALLY young I used to think the world used to be black & white, because all old pictures were in black & white.

    Shutup I was a kid!!

    Me too - you're not alone!

    I was shocked the first time I flew in an airplane that all the states weren't different colored, like they are on a map of the U.S! I was about 5 years old at the time.

    When my siblings and I were all under 8 yrs of age, our mother told us that soda came out of the faucet but it only turns to soda if we were good children. When we did good, she told us to close our eyes and she'll get soda from the kitchen faucet for us. We'd all half close our eyes but she'd go to the sink and turn the water on and then she'd bring us each a cup of soda, so we never could quite figure out how that works. Every once in a while we'd go to the sink and turn the water on but it was only water. It wasn't until I was in 5th grade that a student brought a canned soda to school and I asked him what it was that I finally found out the truth......boy was I embarrassed. To this day I always thought that was the meanest trick our mom ever played on us but she said she did it to prevent us from having too much sugar.

    I would hear noises from my pillow at night when I slept on my side. I thought it was bugs crawling in my pillow, until I was in my teens and realized it was my heartbeat... :blushing:

    OMG! So glad I'm not alone! I told my mother that I could hear ants marching in my pillow. And I believe this. I would look inside my pillowcase and under the pillow, fully expecting to see ants marching single file. LOL

    Thanks for bringing back the memory. :laugh:

    My ex fully believed that women only have 2 holes, and that pee comes out of the vagina. I tried to explain but he just wouldn't believe me.

    My mom told me that if you got a single peanut in a shell that it tasted better because all the nutrients went to that one peanut instead of being divided between two. Yeah I believed her. But she also really believed that peanuts grew on trees. Whos the dummy now!! :)

    My childrens father told me that Jack rabbits existed and I believed him up until a few years ago when we were talking about said jack rabbits. He burst out laughing after he saw the very confused look on my face and said "Ddn't I tell you that I was joking with you?" For 10 years I believed the darn things were real!

    Um, jack rabbits do exist... http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/jackrabbit/

    Yep...jackrabbits. Real.

    When I was really little my daddy would tell me if I'd eat cornbread then I'd grow hair on my chest. I believed him & for some reason wanted that to happen- so I'd eat it. Thank god it didn't work!

    Also my older brother would tease me on the escalator saying it was going to shred me up & eat me when we got to the bottom. To this day I still think about that every time I ride an escalator!

    As a kid, when we went to visit our grandparents we were always reminded not to go behind the barn because there was 'quicksand'. There was even a story about how my mom saved one of my cousins who got stuck in it. I was in high school before the truth came out. Turns out the 'quicksand' was the leftover droppings from when they'd had cows!
