    When I was really, REALLY little, I used to think that if a black person married a white person and had a baby, that was how you got a Mexican kid.

    Shush, I was like, six!

    When I asked where my dad was going when he would head out to work, my mom would say he's going to make some money. I thought he was making actual money; I imagined him making pennies and such. lol

    That children were only allowed to talk in a car at red light.

    I was a little bit of a talker as a child and so when I went somewhere with my mom and one of her friends they told me that children were only allowed to talk at red lights, so that they would actually be able to talk to each other. lol

    My dad had me believing that Wendy's made their hamburgers from earth worms. I still to this day eat a Wendy's hamburger.

    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!!

    India was a continent......still kills me...

    My first thought, was, "Isn't it?" I have other questions, but..... Better to be thought a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt!

    When I got my first car at 16, I thought I had to put oil in it every week. Until it started spewing black smoke when I started it. Oopsy!

    when I was little and there was a thunderstorm, my grandma told me that the noise of thunder was clouds bumping into each other, whilst mice ran up and down stairs inside them with clogs on, and that rain was god crying!!

    when my children were little, whenever the PIR of the alarm lit up red in the corner of the room, I used to say it was Father Christmas tuning in to see if they were behaving, because if he found out they were being naughty then they wouldn't get any presents for christmas - this worked until they were 12years old!!

    I could never eat mayo as a kid because my cousins told me that mayo came from an old man with pimples and he squeezed them all into a jar at night and left them on people's porches. True or not, that was the reason I could not eat mayo or watch anyone eat mayo or get it even on my finger. I'd practically throw up when I'd see the dollop of mayo on cottage cheese or jello! It is still gross to this day, but I can eat it now in small amounts.

    That there was a serial killer in my closet, under my bed and living in all basements I stepped foot in alone.

    ...and I still seem to think this.

    I used to think that everything on tv was live, even if I was using the VCR. I always wondered how the actors knew when I put the tape in and what would happen if someone else was already watching their tape.

    i was about 7...and watching some cartoons..my sister..who was 12 or 13 at the time convinced me that if she stood on my feet and pushed me back..i wouldnt fall cause I just watched a cartoon...well I fell...and was pissed..but then here is hers

    My mom always told us not to let a boy touch us...otherwise we would become pregnant..sis was in middle school..(mid 1970s) and we thought..thats kind of weird.

    We were home and watched an episode of Love American Style. This one was about an alien that was touched by a man and got pregnant on her arm..My sister freaked..ran to my mom...all crying and said she was pregnant..of course my mom freaked out more and said how...sis replied..a boy touched her arm...

    I still laugh at that one..

    When I was little, my dad used to mess with me because I was a picky eater. He told me once that peas were the little things inside of green beans, trying to convince me to eat peas, since I LOVED green beans. Joke's on him, because I stopped eating green beans. He also told me that refried beans were dog poop, and I stopped eating them for a year. (I was 4/5 at the time)

    I believed that the horses in our barn could talk at midnight on Christmas Eve. I could never stay up late enough to sneak in and check. I was 14 before I checked and even then I swore they only stopped because they knew I was there.

    When I was REALLY little (like 4 or 5) I thought that the people who were waving behind Matt & Katie on the Today Show could see me through the TV and that's why they were waving. Used to scare the *kitten* out of me.

    I used to be freaked out that people could see me from inside the TV too LOL
