    The meaning of "wind shield factor" was how cold the air that hit the windshield was. I thought it was the windshield factor until I was 13.

    I used to be terrified of automatic flush toilets, and for the longest time I used to think that I should be the oldest one in the family because my birthday is in January.

    i used to think i'd be completely safe from monsters, burglars, and sharks (yes, sharks) as i slept in my bed as long as i was completely covered by my blanket... as if it were some kind of impenetrable shield!

    I used to think that purple crayons were made out of raisins. I HATED raisins, so I never colored with my purple crayons.

    I also thought that if I mixed my chocolate and vanilla swirl pudding together, it would taste like peanut butter once it turned tan.

    My dad always told me it was barking spiders when he farted. "See, there goes those barking spiders!" LMAO!!!!

    So did my dad. Still does. Weird.

    My dad still says that now a days. I thought he was serious and now I hear him say it and just laugh.

    I swore the water from the bathroom sink was WAY better. I also thought I was adopted, my sister told me I was and being the only blonde in my brunette family I completely believed it.

    my brother told me i was adopted too..that my mom went to the hospital for some minor surgery and a lady named Sueanne (my middle name is Suanne) had me and couldnt take me home so my mom took me home...


    peanut butter and chocolate sandwiches were the BOMB and so was saltine crackers with maple syrup on them...

    that if you swallowed a seed, a plant would grow inside of you
    If I marked a penny and put it in the bank account, I could look for it when they gave me all my money back.

    That is a small laundromat. That's no way to run a business!

    That a ray of sunshine through an opening of an otherwise cloudy sky meant that someone in that vicinity had died and was being lifted up to Heaven.

    That a wedding or baby shower involved a bunch of people giving a bride or baby an actual shower. lol

    My daughters are 3 and 4 and they believe that a crescent moon is actually "smiling" at them. :)

    I used to be afraid of balloons. BALLOONS!

    I am still afraid of latex balloons! The foil kind are fine, but latex balloons scare the hell out of me!

    I remember us doing "How to" presentations in speech class in my first semester of college. Some girl did "How to make a balloon animal" and she was squeaking that thing at the front of the room and I started freaking out. Then she proceeds to say, "And I have enough for all of you to try!" and pulls out a black trash bag full of blown up balloons.

    I had to leave the room. :embarassed:



    When I was a kid I used to think "pregnant" was a bad word.

    I know there are others; I just can't think of them right now! :(

    That if I crossed my eyes long enough, they would get stuck.

    That kissing got people pregnant.. Or if a guy peed in the toilet after a girl didn't flush (or vice-versa) that a baby would get stuck in the pipes. lol.

    Oh! That if I stuck an egg in the microwave, it would hatch a baby chick. I even made a little bed for it and all, and then after a few minutes in the nuker, the door blew open and there was egg EVERYWHERE. Haha..

    - I thought there were cameras on every single inanimate objects ...except BAND-AIDS (specifically BAND-AIDs, I don't know why...) LOL

    - I thought that the rain drops on the windows were little worms and I named them all "Slither"

    - Andddd I thought that companies only made ONE of each toy, so when the commercials would play on TV me and my little sister would fight over who got the toy.

    I used to think that if you were going to have a baby you absolutely HAD to go to the hospital and have a Doctor deliver it... Because if you didn't how would you ever know if it was a boy or a girl if the doctor didn't tell you...

    that Pink Floyd was a guy named Floyd with pink hair.

    that Washington DC was in Washington state.

    that if you didn't eat your dinner, old people at a nursing home would chew up your food and spit it in a jar, then put a tube down your throat and slide it down there.... thanks Dad! I ate my dinner after that.

    that soda came from wells in Greenville (a place in Maine).

    that sex was when two people got naked and kissed....learned that one at daycare. Lmao.


    My Dad could convince me of anything, he was constantly telling me fibs. I would always say "you are lying, Dad!" and he was laugh and say, "it's not a lie, it's FIB." :)

    I thought when I looked at black and white photos, that back then the world was black and white.

    I used to think this as well, along with the black and white movies.
