    My sister told me girl names had to start with "a", as in Carla, Anna, etc. Therefore, my name was actually a boy's name and I became determined to change it.

    I also thought that husbands and wives had the same last name because you had to find someone to marry that had the same last name as you.

    When I first arrived to Australia ( from europe) age 14 some boy told me there was a rare breed of koala that attacked humans .. Hmmm .. I believed this for years !! Koalas are the most docile creatures but will scratch if they feel threatened ..

    My husband used to think all rabbits were the size of dwarf rabbits ( 2-3 pounds), and that they pooed wherever, etc. I guess that's not really a gullible thing, he'd have no reason to know. But it was hysterical the first time he 1. saw Lucy (she's 12 pounds of solid rabbit) and 2.watched her shoot across the room to use her litter box instead of pooing on the floor.

    After typing that out, it's really not that dumb lol. Just surprising to me I suppose!

    And Sublimely, my husband STILL believes that to a point.

    I thought all white people has pools.
    My first white friend actually did have a pool. I don't remember which friend ultimately did not but I can assure you I was both disappointed and relieved.

    forever I thought Famous Amos cookies were loaded with alcohol! Yes, seriously. That's one thing my parents loved that they didn't want us to get our hands on, so they told us they were for adults only, because they were baked with alcohol. We never ate them....

    In our very young days my sisters and I believed we were white because we drank white milk and other people were "chocolate" because they drank chocolate milk, we were very confused about who drank the strawberry milk.

    That Lance Bass from NSYNC was straight. Damn.

    I will admit to having had a huge crush on him :embarassed:

    When I was little, I used to think that the people who made TV shows had really good timing because they always caught the most dramatic or funny parts of real peoples' lives, hahaha. I was so confused when I found out they were actually acted and staged. Then along comes lots of reality TV... heh

    I seriously thought until about 2 years ago that narwals were fictional animals, much like unicorns. My mind was absolutely blown when I was faced with the truth.

    I mean, honestly, unicorns seem way more plausible than a ****ing whale with a big horn!

    Oh, I almost forgot the biggy....

    When I was younger, I thought that when I grow up, I clearly would not have the same problems as the rest of the women in my family. I figured that they must have had something culturally or genetically wrong with them to all be getting white hair, wrinkles, and body parts that just don't look ... right. :ohwell:

    Tons of years later...... :grumble: Dang genetics/gravity/teenagers/responsibilities :grumble:

    LoL some of these are pretty funny... Some that came to mind, when I was younger I thought sour cream was really white ice cream that never melted and didn't understand why it was on top of the flautas or other mexican dishes lol.

    I believed I couldn't drink root beer because it was alcoholic beer made from roots.

    I believed no matter where I went I was always in my city. Never thought I was actually traveling to the neighboring city or town when I was younger.

    It took me awhile to get the connection of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream... I thought they put the dough then the chips in later.

    That talking mice were inside of traffic signals that made them change colors....

    up until I was 8 or something. Hahah.

    Don't know if someone told me this, or if it was my imagination that made me believe it was real...either way, I know the truth now. :laugh:

    I have a question for all of the people that had misunderstandings about where babies come from or how they're made.

    Did your parents tell you those things, or did just come up with them because they seemed logical?

    I saw a bit of a TV show the other day, and part of it was where this lady brought her daughter to a talk show to have them explain to her how babies are made because she couldn't bear to do it her self. They were acting like it was a really hard to answer question. I'm just curious.

    I believed that a criminal record was... well, a vinyl record where the police recorded all your crimes. And if you had a blank record, then you still had a vinyl record somewhere with your name on it but nothing was recorded yet...

    I believed my toys came to life when I wasn't looking.

    I thought (until 20-21 yo) that RFA was Eastern Germany and RDA Western Germany. Probably not something someone would know now but remember I was 12 when the Berlin wall fell so those two countries were all over the news! Still managed to confuse them, though.
