    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.

    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....

    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.

    My mom always told us that if you make a weird face, it could permanently get "stuck" that way.

    I developed a theory when I was three that the world really was black and white like in old photographs until Dorothy opened her door and stepped into Oz.

    you know those small cul-de-sac streets?? They usually have a sign that says:
    "NO OUTLET"

    for the longest time I though those houses didn't have electricity.... (no outlets to plug things in)

    It is embarrassing to admit how old I was before I finally understood they DID have electrical outlets.

    I thought boys were born from men and girls were born from women. I also used to be scared of using the toilet in airplanes because I thought you could get sucked in :D

    Not me...but my younger brother believed that if you fell from a high height you would bounce thanks to my dad tell him this. So one day he climbed up a pine tree and well jumped. Well, he didn't bounce. In fact he broke his arm in the exact same spot that my dad broke his and exactly a year to the date....way to go.

    where to start. i thought that factories steam pipes were cloud makers and thats where all the clouds in the sky came from.

    i thought that helicoptors couldn't fly over water as the water wouldn't provide a hard enough surface to push the air into.

    there was one more that was a good one but i forget it at the moment.

    My grandparents used to called swim suits "bathing suits" which, when I was little, I heard as "baby suits". I could never understand why grownups wore baby suits.

    When my parents would stop at traffic lights they would wait and watch the other side turn yellow and then they'd blow really hard and our red light and it would turn green. We thought they were changing the light by blowing.
