Silly things you thought as a kid.

For example, when I was ~5 or so, my mom told me that the chicken skin on KFC chicken was bad for my heart. I thought I would literally drop dead on the spot if I ate too much of that, and semi-freaked out because I ate a small piece.

Example 2: To remember where the utensils went when setting the table, I labeled the spoon as the damsel in distress being held hostage by the knife villain and the fork knight had to get through the plate castle to rescue her. Idek. :eep:


What are some silly/funny things you thought as a kid?

Oh, I remembered that my dad would say that whenever we hear thunder, God has made a strike while bowling in heaven.

on that note

rain is angels spitting on us

I thought rain was God's pee. :confused:

I believed that one too. xD

No, that was God spitting down on us.

WELL WE'VE GOT A TON OF DIFFERENT STORIES

WE NEED TO smurfING FIGURE OUT WHERE RAIN COMES FROM

this thread is about silly things you believed as a child IT IS NOT A PLACE FOR ARGUMENTS

just accept that we're all different already

gosh where is the TOLERANCE

I was told rain was when the angels showered. A less disgusting option than pee and spit to tell a child, I suppose.

I was also told the crescent moon was my dad's toenail.

I, for some reason, believed that anything that could ever happen to a person would happen at least once before they die. Naturally I focused on bad things happening, so by that logic I knew that in my life I would be shot, stabbed, run over by a car, fall off a cliff, etc. I'd decided that I was going to save falling into a volcano until my death because why would I want that to be first, right?

Sad thing is I think I just made that trout all up on my own. :confused:

I used to believe there was such thing as justice.

on a more adorable note

i figured that if someone broke into the house at night that the most important thing to save was my stuffed animals

i'd wrap them up in my blanket

i planned this out multiple times

All cartoons weren't on tape. The animators had to make the same exact cartoon every single time from scratch.

i believed something similar about movies

at the beginning of a VHS you could sometimes hear what sounded like a telephone being dialed

i thought this was the VCR calling the actors in the movie and somehow getting them behind the TV so they could act out the movie for me

I really did think their was a monster under my bed, but we got along really well. I fed him my pistachio shells.

Santa Claus/Easter Bunny/etc. were real. Don't think I believed it but I was told thunder is angels bowling. Can't really remember anything interesting. :-/
