@Medical:
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?
I used to think that too… I wish the sanctity of the word "rimjob" had been preserved in my mind. It used to be this pristine, clean word that evoked imagery of a shiny car. Now it only evokes images of someone trying to give shine to that which does not shine. On your question, though, it was probably Jesus giving Satan one by a rebellious teenager. He probably plastered that picture on his school binder or gave it as a tattoo to himself (that comment isn't totally groundless, there was a kid at my school that walked around with a picture of churches burning on his binder. He was a generally chipper fellow otherwise, just didn't like churches, the food there usually sucks so I can see why).

Somehow I thought that old people just became young kids again after a certain point.
Boy was I in for a surprise! :w00t:

I used to think that the cool female voice making announcements at railroad stations was an actual person. I used to wonder if she's following us across the country when we used to travel and hear the same voice making the announcements at every station. I then theorized that she had loads of sisters and cousins with the same voice who were assigned to all the stations (kind of like Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny). I then theorized that they used to have a test and select local females with matching voice registers. I was actually proud of myself for having figured out the truth all by myself. Or maybe it's just another theory that makes sense to me now. I used to think that sanitary napkins are used by pregnant women to pee without going to the bathroom.
I was convinced for a time that bald people and old people are one and the same.
-
I used to think that tv was filmed weekly. That after every episode they'd film the next one in a week.
-
I used to think the hummingbirds didn´t have feet.
So I was always wondering.."they never sleep…poor things."
-
I never believed in Santa, the Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy. I did believe in the Ninja Turtles though. They were hiding in sewers and protecting the city of New York.

damn, I still believe Santa does exist

! - I was scared of the concept of sex because I was certain that you'd get stuck (and when I heard about periods it all just made sense partly because it only happened to women and because I heard sex hurt, so periods came from getting a penis pulled out from your vagina)… And then I turned 14.
! Idk.- I was once exceptionally proud of discovering the standby button because I heard that there were 0's and 1's that turned stuff on and off. That was my gateway to fame and fortune.
- I used to think that "sexy back" was a song about a sexy back. SNL cleared that up.
- I used to think that the word sexy was an insult.
- And that Africa was a country till I was 7.
A bright kid indeed.

I remember asking my mom when I was 6 or 7 if Swedish was the "real" language and all others were just translations of it.
I also thought 100 was the lifetime of a human set in stone, and that one day all my relatives (including those older than me) would walk up to my bed to congratulate me to find that I had turned 100 and passed on.
Oh. And I was 10 when I found out digging a hole from Sweden through the core of the Earth wouldn't take me to China but to New Zeeland. I blame America.
-

New Zealand - Lovely place lovely people.
I used to think there was gold underground everywhere all you had to do was dig for it - my parents sent me into the backyard with a shovel and all I found was rocks :(

I used to think the same with English.
I also used to think that when I learned Spanish that it would magically translate to English in my head. It took me a while to grasp the concept of thinking in another language, and even longer to properly implement it.
I think up through my fifth year of Spanish in school I was still translating everything to and from English in my head.
-
I used to think the middle finger was the pointing finger and just straight out ignored the index finger, lmfao. This only went on for about a few weeks or so but still.
-
I used to think I had psychic powers when I could seemingly bend the universe to my will.
Then I realized I was a very spoiled child.
-
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".:I
this was me, except that I thought that BECAUSE OF sex education
either they were bad at teaching it, or I missed something important
or I was a fucking stupid kid
Also, the become a skeleton when you die thing. When my grandpa died, and my mom tried to get me to go see him, I was screaming, and yelling about how I didn't want to see a skeleton - was honestly absolutely terrified.
-
One of my most recent faulty assumptions was about egg cell donation.
I somehow got it in my head that it would be nice to help couples with problems in having children. There's a private clinic for that in my hometown and I went as far as starting to fill this extremely detailed form on their website. This was all done under the impression that the doctors would simply just put a huge fucking needle in me and suck out some cells.
When I told this to a friend of mine she flat out started laughing at me :D
What actually happens is that I'd be given hormone treatment by injecting myself and thus multiply the amount of cells. When the cells are ready to be collected, they give you pain medication, anesthetize your private parts and do it as an inside job. I really don't know if I'm up for something like that, which means I just shouldn't do it.
(Not to mention the possibility of having a mini-me running around somewhere.)
-
I use to think midgets were children.
-
I used to think that my sister and I were twins seperated by age/time travel because we looked so similar.
… yeah
:I -
When I was two I used to think that time didn't exist until I noticed it, and because of that I invented time. Sometimes I think that it's still the case.

you did not dig far enough go try again lol.

Not a big one but who else believed the widespread rumor that when some mischief monger (one of the people who perpetuated this myth) told you to look at your hand, if you looked at it in a clenched fist you were straight, and if you looked at it with your fingers strewn about like some lady with a heavy accent and long nails, you were a homosexual?
To this day I always look at it in the haphazard ladylike way because I am not an insecure silly person.
-
I used to think that I was purchased at a kid store and that my parents would return me if I misbehaved.
….Obviously they said that to me, but it scared the hell out of me. :I

Oh god that X'D
our R.S teacher - in secondary - made us do that, except that if you did it in a closed fist way you were more of a masculine person and if you did it the other way you were more feminine, and it was checking your nails. Then he was talking about sitting and quite bluntly said that most guys don't sit crosslegged because it crushes their balls (or something like that lol he was hilarious) -

This one time my mother in the most dry manner of voice ever told me and my brother that we were actually triplets and our brother was buried in the backyard
I don't know what spurned it because she'd pull this out after this like once a month as a threat
but at the time
We knew she was lying and we called her on it by asking what his name was!
But she just deadpanned and then went back to what she was doing, going "really, what was his name… When you bury such unimportant delinquents they sort of get forgotten..."
And we got nervous

And to think she told everyone she'd sent little D'Artagnan to do missionary work
We knew there was something fishy, seeing as he was a year old

I used to think cats pooped from the ends of their tails. Not dogs though….. the hell was I thinkig?
-
When I was a kid, I thought french fries were made from giraffe meat.
-
I thought buffalo had wings.

They do.
You're just missing a few steps.:ninja: -
When I was really young and saw weather maps on TV of Connecticut I thought it was maps of the entire USA.
I think in my mind the vague shape of the little Golden Coast wang that points toward NYC on CT, resembled Florida (even though they're on opposite sides) and that's all I needed to be convinced.
So when I asked my mom where we lived I guess she pointed at the Mississippi area of CTSA. So I guess I thought we lived in Mississippi… -
I thought Black People were made of tootsie rolls. (please nobody get mad at me, I was literally like 2 or 3.)
I thought the word "Fuck" had the same rough definition as the word "Plug" and vocalized this much to my mother's dismay. -
I used to imagine Zephos(before pics of him came out) was a 7 foot, buff black guy, with cornrows….
-
For me, the biggest hero in kindergarten was the guy who ate the bread with the paper thingy still on it.
Bravest deed had never been seen before.
-
I used to think…
Wait
Wrong topic. I still think he is. -
-
You still think he is what?
I'm actually talking about– wait, that just gives it all away
I'll tell you.
But not here =:3 -
