Ridiculous Things You Believed As A Kid

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I was sure mutants (like the X-Men) were a real thing; like, certain people had special powers but weren't saving/taking over the world.

I was sure mutants (like the X-Men) were a real thing; like, certain people had special powers but weren't saving/taking over the world.

I was positive I was gonna develop super powers any minute when I was a kid. If I won a race, I believed my super speed had begun to manifest. If someone didn't see me, obviously I had finally tapped into my invisibility. I remember for the longest time I was certain I had a healing factor simply because I had never broken a bone or had been seriously injured.

I still haven't ruled the possibility out.

 

[Erzengel]

That I would lose my virginity to my wife. That pretty much changed when I started dating.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Since my parents met and got together when they were like 13, when I was young, I thought that was normal, like you got a girlfriend and stayed together and got married. The idea of rejection, break-ups, rebounds, hook-ups, etc just never occurred to me as a little kid.

[Duran Man]

I thought clouds were dead people.

 

[Thundercrack85]

That deep down people were good.

 

[PyroChamber]

I thought losing your virginity meant just kissing.

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

Worms would come out of your mouth if you ate too much candy.

 

[redmarvel]

I believed that if you swallowed raw plant seeds or accidentally swallowed a bug it would continue to live in your stomache.

I believed that if you swallowed raw plant seeds or accidentally swallowed a bug it would continue to live in your stomache.

Clearly you never read that story about a man who swallowed a seed and hand a plant growing in his chest.

i believed that Aliens stole my old Batman mask.....

Are you saying they didn't?

 

[Tempest]

When I was fourish, I believed that there was a shark living under my bed, and that if I dangled my toes over the edge when I was sleeping he (I also absolutely knew it was male) would bite them.

I lived in Pennsylvania. I have no idea where I got the idea of a shark from.

If you put a wad of Vaseline on the windowsill of your bedroom at night time and sleep, the next morning it will turn into paper. so free paper supply... Allah hi hoodim

 

[Hobgoblin]

My neighbors had a big screen TV and I thought that if I watched a movie on it, I would see more of what was going on. Kind of like looking out a bigger window.

 

[AF3619]

Are you saying they didn't?

who knows.....

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I thought clouds were dead people.

I thought stars were dead people.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

okay i am game
1) that i could give myself super powers by mixing up chemicals from a chemistry set ala the Flash! my dad got me one but it was nothing harmful just fancy names for salt and crap! if only i had the internet back then.. i could've gotten my hands on some real radioactive isotopes!t:

2) that everybody except me were "androids or robots" I think i watched too much "6 million dollar man," classic star trek and " The Stepford wives!" scared the crap outta me that i was the only "organic!"

3)... oh and basically deep down people were good like thunder!

 

[redhawk23]

That you could make hybrid plants by taping seeds together and planting them. I once attempted to grow giant apples by taping apple seeds to pumpkin seeds.

 

[MarkoH]

I thought that clouds were made of wool!

 

[MarkoH]

Oh and that you couldn't touch anything metal when there was lightning, because you'd get struck by it.

 

[Lord]

I thought S.H.I.E.L.D. was a real organizations similar to the FBI or the armed forces

 

[Lunar_Wolf]
