Misconceptions You Had as a Child

I thought that when you left your room, your toys came to life and began playing.

I wonder where I got the idea from...thanks Toy Story :')

I also thought that the sky would fall down one day soon an everybody would then die, because Angelica from Rugrats said so.

And then there was me, letting my rabbits out of the hutch into a the open garden, placing my *magic* blanket onto them, using my wand and saying 'Izzy Wizzy, Dizzy-Appeary' then turning around to find out that they were gone (and never returned). This is a prime example of my magic, guys. ????????????

I really thought friendships lasted forever like in movies i watched.

I really thought that if I was bad one more time, my parents would make good on their promise to send me to reform school. **shrugs** I was scurrrrrred.

that the alien on the front of my bike will make us fly over the cop cars.....

alas we crashed!

I used to watch my dad steer our car as a kid and see his hand make all these little movements holding the steering wheel and wonder how he knew to make all these little adjustments just to stay in a straight line. Figured I'd never be able to drive. Turns out we just had a crappy old car with bad alignment and roads with potholes :-p

My Uncle convinced me I could grow a fish in the backyard garden like a tree. I also argued with my brother that babies came from number 2 after pregnancy when I was about 6. Awwww pathetic!

Every limo contained a celebrity!

There are grown-ups who still think this! A friend of mine rented a limo for our girls' night out, and these people were standing outside waiting to see who came out. We were in the Hamptons though, maybe that's a thing there.

I thought cars could fly if you hit a jump fast enough

They do. There was in old railroad crossing in my town, at the bottom of a hill, called "The Jumps". They smoothed it out many years ago, but i have seen many-a-car catch air on those tracks.

That learning stuff in school was going to help me get a good job as an adult, and have a "nice life"

That grandma and grandpa were going to live forever (because why not?)

That the house and the yard were going to stay gigantic and interesting forever (not true - only until I became taller, then everything turned out to be much smaller in size and much less exciting)

That boy and girl junk looked the same (I thought this when I was very little)

That if you concentrated hard enough, you could move objects with your mind. I even practiced doing this, needless to say, I failed

That when I grow up, I'm going to own a pony... I honestly had no idea how expensive caring for a large animal really is (boarding, feed, tack, training, shoes, vet, daily care, exercise...).

My mom told me cottage cheese was ice cream. I thought I was the only one that didn't get excited for the ice cream man.

I used to think the long hangy down thing on a bull was his belly button....
