Silly things you thought as a kid.

[Lonely Paper Star]

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.


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

[Jinx]

I thought rain was God's pee.

[CimminyCricket]

I believed that one too. xD

[Agent Proto]

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.

[Citizen Bleys]

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.
