and I used to think if I got like a cut/bruise, I would pinch it, push it, touch it because I thought the pain would "run out"

everyone knew god was just a fable.
seriously I really learned it as some fantasy story not that anyone ever told me it was untrue but it just sounded like some fantasy story.

I used to think I would get a chick when I left the egg outside too long. I would put it in a fridge before it does >_>

I thought babies were made when a girl would say "I want to have a baby!"
And then the baby automatically gets born

Oh right, remembered another one. I thought somewhere there was a script that described everything we said or did, but I was unclear if the script recorded what we did or if we had to do whatever was written. Then I read the Neverending Story and was like whooooa. Even later I watched The Truman Show and was like WHOOOOOA.

I used to think that this leprechaun that my 2nd grade teacher hung up in her room would take over the class and switch everyone's gender.

Also, I used to think that cumming was like pissing, just with white stuff instead of yellow stuff.

Up until 3rd grade or so, I used to think my elementary school teachers were secretly witches. It didn't help that they all came in on Halloween with pointy hats.

I used to think that you could actually do the wacky, crazy tricks in SSX.

For people that haven't played SSX before, SSX is a snowboarding game where you race but also do tricks to gain boost. Boost=Speed.

Basically, you could do tricks where you take your feet off the board at 25 meters in the air, flip it around, sometimes LET GO OF IT, then place it back on your feet. I thought they were so cool that you could actually do it. Thankfully I actually didn't try anything like that...

hmm... this is a tough one...

I used to think automatic doors were a lie, and actually, they were operated by some guy sat in a room with a button in front of him.

I used to think every nation had to have a national food to be recognised as one. And since our next door neighbor was from bolivia and always bought bugles I assumed those crisps were bolivia's snack of the land.

Also I used to believe bus stops were actually part of clothing shops and the people standing there were showing off the collection.

I used to think that only teachers got in bars because every bar had "open"-sign.

I used to think that grown up girls were turning into monsters once a month.

It's because I misheard the word "menstruée" (menstrual in french) for "monstruée" (turn into a monster...although it's not really a word... it just sounded like a monster transformation lol)

So I was REALLY afraid of women when they said they had their pre-"monstrual" syndroms!!!! :o

I bought into the moon landing conspiracy theory when I was nine. I even scribbled together a horribad picture book about it called "The Moon is a Fake".
