Funny things you believed as a kid :)

AlbaAngel25

I was talking to my hubby the other day about some random things we used to believe when we were little.
I told him that whenever I heard on the news about serial killers, I thought they were cereal killers...., ppl who killed cereal lol Hey I was a kid okay.
Also, when i would hear my parents or tv talk about the government, I thought the government was 1 person that decided everything and pretty much had all our fates in their hand.


What silly things did you believe as a kid?

I thought babies came out of belly buttons.

That some women weren't crazy. When all of you are, in fact, crazy.

Thunder was the noise made by angels when they were bowling.

I used to believe it was God moving furniture around. :laugh:

I think the weirdest one I believed was hiding under my covers would save me from monsters..

Oh and a 'bargain' was a toy horse for my Barbies. Just because my mum pointed to a toy horse before, and said 'Help me look for bargains!'.

that restaurants gave out condoms, when, in fact, they were giving out condiments.... i just though "condoms" was a shortened term for it.

I didn't know that teachers had lives outside of school, I sort of thought they were robots who recharged at the end of each day.

That I could get pregnant at any time in my cycle, and that premarital sex always ended in herpes.

That if I was going fast enough on my Big Wheel, I could ride it up the pine tree in the yard. Yes, I landed on m head a lot from that belief.

You're not going fast enough.

I thought babies came out of belly buttons.

^^^^ This ^^^^ But also that you got pregnant by a boy putting his finger in your belly button LMAO! I knew it had something to do with boys and girls getting together and kind of put it together in my head that if the baby came from your belly button then the boy had to put the baby in there with his finger haha.

That if you swallowed enough watermelon seeds one would grow in your belly!

Wait...that's not true??

Drop_it_Like_Its_Hawt

That saying the "F" word (or any other swear word other than crap) would immediately ban you to hell, forever and ever.

Oh, and also that if I didn't run out of the room immediately after flushing the toilet, it would somehow suck me in like some evil toilet-tornado and I'd wind up lost in the sewers. And I may or may not have, at some point, been convinced that I could talk to trees. (I was a strange kid)

LOL, yeah I had that one too, but I blame my grandpa. He told me the hairs coming out of his ears were vines that sprouted when he swallowed a watermelon seed, and it took root in his belly. Of course, this is also the same grandpa that told me jackalopes were real, so I guess I should've known better at that point.

I teased my stepson and told him that if he messed with his bellybutton it would come untied and all his stuff (guts) would fall out LMAO So evil :laugh: He is 12 now and he knows its not true, but to this day he does not like for anyone to try to touch his bellybutton. :blushing:

I always thought a "Coin wash" was where you went to wash your pennies.
I had no idea it was a laundromat

harvo

That the boogie man was a dancer.... :noway:

akitagirl78

i thought the street signs that had an arrow pointing up actually meant up towards the sky. LOL

chapamore

I thought cats were girls and dogs were the boys.

That the pile of clothes in the chair in the corner of my room became a monster at night. I'd peak out from under the covers and see it breathing.

You would think that might have motivated me to move the clothes off the chair, but no - never did.

dawnemjh

That blood was blue since the veins on your wrist look blue from outside, and that when the blood "hit the air" it turned red....

calisunrise

that eating rice makes you turn asian

When I was a kid, my poop used to get "stuck". Like, I just couldn't get it out. I thought that if I pushed down on the top of my head, it would push the poop out.

Yeah, I know. Don't all send your friend requests at once.

DoneBroughtSexyBack

That if I didn't behave at my grandparents house that my Grandpa would see me to a local tribe of Indians.... then again I think he may have actually been serious...

That the sandman would actually come and sprinkle sand in your eyes to put you to sleep!
