Silly things you thought as a kid.

[NinjaCoachZ]

I thought that if I physically went behind the TV, I would appear and be able to interact with everything on the screen.

I thought that the world was flat and that if you drove to the edges of the Earth, you would be stopped by a massive brick wall.

After watching too much Little Bear, I believed if I used my imagination reeeeeal hard, when I crawled underneath my covers I'd go to China or under the sea or some trout.

I used to think Toy Story was legit.

Sometimes I would open my bedroom door from the outside just the slightest so I could peek in and see if the toys were conversing with each other.

[Unbreakable Will]

I was told that thunder was the 'tater wagon going through the sky.
...
....
smurfing rednecks.

[Shiny]

I must be so Yankee that I don't even know what that means.

I thought this well after my childhood. YOU NEVER KNOW.

[Agent Proto]

Oh, here's another one! When I was a kid, I used to think the past was all black and white, like how the old shows and movies were had no color, and photographs were in black and white. I seriously thought the world would be like that to our own eyes.

My grandma and one of my nannies taught me about life after death. I got things a little mixed up and figured you were made up of the body, the soul and the skeleton. When you died, the body was buried and the soul disappeared, but the skeleton went up to heaven to lay on the clouds and shoot zaps of fortune and misfortune upon the earthlings.

I was convinced that the tooth fairy was real. I was determined to capture her and lay awake all night and watched my mom come in at about 11 pm.

Around 2nd grade, I began coming up with a theory for how I could experience the world in first person POV. I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that everyone saw the world in that way, and I thought that maybe I was the only one in the world who saw the world in first person. To further that theory, I thought that everyone was essentially "programmed" to act the way they did, and I felt the world literally revolved around me. Since only one person ever experiences that first person perspective, I also believed that I would be reincarnated. I would lose all of my past memories, but it would still be me.

I believed that black holes actually acted as portals to alternate universes (and still like to think that). It was my dream in life to actually figure out how to survive the trip through a black hole and make it to the other side.

Also, Santa Clause.

I thought all carpets (but not all carpeting) could fly.

I also use to think it was the string that made balloons float. It made sense because the balloons with helium all had strings attatched and the ones filled with air had no strings.

I also thought I was a genius who was the first person every to discover masturbation (or as i thought of it back then, this awesome new game no one else seems to be playing) because no one else would talk to me about anything sex related when i was 10 year old.

The guy on the Australian $2 coin was Santa, the flower was an iceberg and the southern cross was snowflakes

All dogs were boys and all cats were girls.

[Tigmafuzz]

All dogs were boys and all cats were girls.

...Dammit.

[Cloudane]

At one point I was convinced there were hidden rooms between the inside and outside walls of the house


Oh and also that parsnips were just carrots without artificial colours

[Greatermaximus]

Now that you mention it. I though every time a military officer who said 'sir' was referencing syrup. It sounded similar and I though Ms. Butterworth was in charge of the military when I was 4.

[Pheesh]

That making it in the music industry was easy.
