Odd things you used to think

Medical Orbit

It can be from any time in your life, not just when you were little (though those tend to be the most entertaining).

I thought astronauts were a different species. I thought they collected things in space, and that inside the suits they were just blackness.

The first time I saw a garbage truck take our garbage, I thought they were stealing it. I yelled for my parents, "THEY'RE STEALING OUR TRASH!"

I thought "Irish need not apply" meant that if you were Irish, you didn't need to fill out an application and would automatically be accepted on account of being Irish.

Oh lol…
it'll take me a while to recall some things...
trust me.
I'll post again when I think of something other than 'everything'.

Demonicpoodle

Hahaha, awesome thread idea bud.

Used to think "china" meant "vagina" so I'd always act disgusted/offended when someone mentioned chinaware or China, this was around age 7.

I used to almost literally be schizo, I always had a demon and devil on my shoulder that told me what to do. There were always secret codes in life that I had to perform, or they would kill me. Like, I'd have to sit on the couch on a certain position at a certain time, etc.

Think that's about it, I'll have to rack the brain to remember more.

Nolus

I thought that everyone who has long hair is a girl.
I also thought babies just appear in women's tummy at pure random.
Aaand I imagined that people's heart stop beating when they're asleep.

Oh, and one more thing… I thought being a virgin meant something like stupid or ugly or some other childish insult. The thing is, in my language, Virgo and virgin are the same words. So when my classmates (at first or second grade) came up to me and asked "Are you a virgin/virgo?" I'd tell them that only my zodiac was that.

Nia

When I was 9 I asked my mom why she wouldn't get in the pool and swim with me (she had her period)
She had "the talk" with me then, but I obviously didn't understand anything. I don't even remember it anymore, but I know that I went to all my friends and told them that you bleed out of your vagina for days when you have too much sex.

I don't know when I learnt what it really meant, but it definitely was before I turned 11 because I wasn't shocked and/or freaked out when I got my period for the first time, lol.

I giggled a little.

By the way, it was the same with me, only my mom didn't explain it because she thought I wouldn't bare the thought of so much blood and stuff.

Mafia Boss

i was bitten by a family friends dog when i was like seven and after i was bitten i was scared that i would turn into a dog or something….:getlost:

FelRes

I thought "blowjob" meant a job that you hate and want to blow off. Suddenly a lot of conversations with my cousin made more sense.

I didn't know what "threesome" meant til I was in like high school. I assumed it meant just pairing up in 3's instead of 2's. A trio. In 8th grade orchestra(middle school), we had to pair up and do some exercises and there was an odd number of people in my section. I said let's form a threesome to this girl and guy I was friends with. They laughed and thought it was cute.

I was really innocent when it came to sexual terminology.

TonyTheChopper

I used to think that my penis was an animal.

You know like a little worm who had to puke some water. But it was only for at short period that i thought that.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

At some point in my life I think I used to think that sand was edible and that you could eat it :I
That would at least explain why I used to eat sand.

As a little kid I thought women pee out of their butts and that they have nothing where men have their ding dong. :|

I legit thought that there was just like a little hole or something you couldn't see where it'd come from.
It confused the hell out of me for quite a few years…

I also thought that the Tooth Fairy would come to collect your teeth from under your pillow ;I
I still believe in Santa though.
DON'T JUDGE ME.

That reminds me. I thought boys and girls both had the same part in that area.

I used to think charlie and the chocolate factory was a horror movie where children ended up turned into chocolate and devoured by the factory owner.

I always imagined some sicko would make a parody in which that happened.
I honestly hate those kind of parodies :I

No Maam

I used to think c-section was the default form of child delivery, since that was all I ever saw or thought I saw implied on TV.

killerbee1000

When I was 5 I used to think that if you kissed a girl, your teeth would rot and fall out. My grandfather told me this XD

Persian

-I used to think that everyone has a different animal ancestor, because it's wasn't everyone who had a monkey-like personality…
-I used to think (when I was very young) that peoples in the T.V. could see me as well, and that the pre-enregistered laughs that you can hear in some series (The Flinstones, for exemple) were peoples watching the same show at their home and laughing. (The fact that one of the laugh sounded exactly like my aunt's laugh didn't helped...)
-I used to think that babies were blind and deaf... Maybe it's because I saw my cat having babies? Baby cats are blind and deaf after all...
-I used to think that gender was a choice (Well, it not so far from the truth...)
-I used to think that Bowser was the good guy and that Mario was a creepy stalker... Because Bowser was way cuter than Mario... Well, I still think that Bowser's cuter than Mario.

Sai-chan

I used to think rain was what happened when God pulled the plug from his sink

TonyTheChopper

I used to think that Crash Bandicoot was secretly my mother

The Laughing Man

I use to think that the Muppets were actually real…beings.
I use to think BioWare was a good video game developer. (ucwatididthar?)

Medical Orbit

I thought getting high meant holding on to a flower and using it to fly.

city_lights31

I thought kids were born via mom's butthole.

Demon Rin

When I was little, I knew what Drag racing was, tough people doing street racing.
And I knew what a Queen was, A woman of high status, sometimes of an entire country.
So I thought a Drag Queen was a woman who was really good at Drag racing, or was very very into it.

So once I saw a tough looking biker woman in a leather jacket, and went "Look Mom, a Drag Queen!"

That was a fun learning experience.

I used to think this too. Then I saw some pictures of actual drag queens.

Sniper King

I used to think dragonflies turned into mosquitoes (ala my older sister).
I used to think if you mixed hot and cold water, you'd get electrocuted (ala the same sister).
I used to think that in the time of black and white movies, the world was actually black and white.
I used to think that sex consisted of two people just laying in bed together naked.

C_uggs

I used to think that if I didn´t jump 40 times each day, I would die. Now I do this only for luck..

CaptainAppleJack

As a kid I put stamps with Winnie The Pooh characters on a piece of paper and gave it to my mother.
I thought it's going to be published.

But it never was. :(

Demonicpoodle

This is pretty standard as far as kid thoughts go, but I'm sure a good amount of people here thought like me that sex was just 2 people wrestling around naked. They would just roll around, their bodies on top of each other, over and over again.

Used to think guinea pigs were just oversized hamsters. Still do, really.

kappa-san

I used to think that when a man and a woman kissed, the woman becomes pregnant. Since I learned about egg cell and sperm cell, I thought they are transmiteed by kissing.
I was sooo dumbfounded when I found out about "sex".

Luffyko

This thread is like the best thing ever x'D

The first time I saw a black person, I thought he painted his skin dark with make-up :I
I have no clue how old I was back then, maybe 3, and I have absolutely no memories about it, but my parents told me. Apparently I even checked if it was make-up (I touched that guys skin and was surprised that the colour didn't rub off.

Another thing: My dad used a pillow as a puppet and pretended it was a (nice) monster. And I really thought that thing was alive and real .______.

C_uggs

I used to think that If I turned off the TV..the programs would pause.
I used to think that If I took a bath with the toilet seat open, my "luck" would be sucked in.
I used to think that a tiny man was living inside my head
I used to think that the continet Europe was a guy in a motorcycle
I used to think that I was a boss from a mighty gang

About sex and "how baby are made".. I never had those "magical excuses"..

Cyclone_Baroness

I used to think it was Dark Vader, not Darth Vader. I was like 14 when I found out I had been saying it wrong lol.

Medical Orbit

I thought that except for parents and teachers, everyone was the same age. One day in kindergarten the teacher organized us by age. I was confused when I learned that some of them were 6. I thought to myself, "But…everyone should be 5..."

I thought virgin was a religion, because there was a religious figure called the Virgin Mary.

I thought a rimjob was getting the rims on a car fixed. I actually thought this until January or February of this year, when someone in my class was going into detail about a picture he saw of Jesus giving Satan one. Or was it Satan giving Jesus one?

DarkFalcon

when I was four or so, my mum found me explaining to my bro about egg cells, sperm cell impregnation, and so on (and it was scientifically correct), only I ever find out how sperm cell get inside in my early teens. I thought there exist some special, magical way.
When I was six, and already knew that the highest mountain in Solar System is on a Mars, I thought it would be very steep, and stand out as a spike from surface of the Mars.
When I was somewhere between six and ten I thought Sun is going to expand and engulf Earth unexpectedly, while I'm asleep, and we are all gonna die.
When I was very little I thought Satan was somebody savvy about fashion, someone who possessed many pieces of clothing and probably was also skilled taylor (Satan is "Szatan" in Polish, while "Shata" basically means piece of clothing). While I donned clothing combined from adults clothes or something, I liked it so much, that I commented, that I look like as beautiful as Satan's wife.

Jazzy Jinx

I didn't learn about what "popping a cherry" meant until I was a sophomore in high school. My friend was joking around saying I should say it to my boss so I figured it meant something like "bursting your bubble".

Ah, that was fun.~

Smudger

I used to think I was cool.

CaptainKid

I tried to go "clean" but even trying that it's pretty dirty but these were from my childhood.

! -Women had kids and urinated through their backside
-The man fertilized a chicken egg with fertilizer and the woman ate it (I was only 3 or 4)
-I found out about a vagina in 6th grade because I was talking to my friend about Kobe Bryant bending a woman over a chair LOL
-I thought that a guy lost one of his balls when he had kids and it grew back
-I didn't know what spooning, popping the cherry, pussy, or the c-word were til I was well past the age to know them

BoomerKoala

I used to think television was always 'live'. i kept wondering how those people (in music videos and commercials) do the same thing over and over again.
I thought that people get pregnant through kissing. One time i kiss my cat on the head and got a stomachache then, i thought i was pregnant. Freaked the hell out.

Sai-chan

I used to think the bottom of the universe was just fire and lava. It didn't realize until later that there wasn't an end.

I used to think that 'Strangers Like Me' was actually 'Strangest Lightning,' too~

I also used to think that, if I flashed a flashlight towards the moon, the beam of light would reach it immediately. I don't know why.

BoomerKoala

Oh, there's also this gem from my childhood. It's not what 'I' used to think, it's someone else's. But it's odd nonetheless.

Humans cannot eat chicken eggs, only camels can.

Wut?

Gliblord

I once blurted out that there are no female racists

LaCaSiNa

I used to think that people turn to skeletons immediately when they die.
