What did you used to think when you were a child?

[Jordan:A]

Title says it all.
I used to watch the news and hear about people being raped, and I thought it was that people got a rake and made them lie on the floor and they would rake them.

Im just trying to think what else I used to believe, while im thinking you tell me yours!

- I'd get pregnant by sitting on a guy's lap or exchanging saliva
- The Force existed and it was strong in me
- Certain people were born able to do magic, I wasn't one of the them
- Everyone else in the world was a robot except
- Yeerks from the book "Animorphs" really existed and might be in my parent's brain

Believed these all at some point in my life as a kid, some for a while, some for only like a few days or so.

[DamianLove]

I used to think I was magic and I'd make friends on holidays and they'd be my apprentice.
But I could never find anyone magic enough. :'(

[Kardan]

I thought sex had something to do with keys and locks and inserting stuff and twisting them. I wasn't that far off for a 6 year old, methinks :P

[LoveToStack]

I thought Pierce Brosnan was called Pierce Brosman. Pretty crazy I know.

[Feep]

There is a giant building in Coventry town with blue glass that reaches up to the sky.

I use to think it was a giant swimming pool

[Jordan:A]

[DamianLove]

My Dad used to always ask if I wanted a crocodile burger at wacky warehouse so I would order that every time thinking it was proper croc.
It wasn't, it was just beef.

[Kyle!]

I had a teacher called Mrs Sooter, and when I was 6 I thought it was Mrs Snotter and I always called her that, and she never told me otherwise! She must have had it said to her quite a lot! LOOOOOL.

[Dan2nd]

I used to think:

If you dug up skeleton you'd turn into a skeleton
My Grandma was born in Tudor times (thanks to my dad)
My cousin was a monster because she used to chase me yelling 'I'M GUNNA EATS YA' (scary)
Whenever someone spoke to my dad on his mobile it was santa clause
That Nesquik cereal was rabbit poo... (rabbit on the box with small brown round things... I had a point)

[Absently]

I thought that babies came from your belly button, used to think we were all dead and just watching a video of ourselves from heaven/I thought I was the only real person in the world.

[Wahey]

Oh yeah, my sis told me Nesquick was rabbit poo

[Skajo]

LOL
I used to think everything used to be black and white like TV but then some guy painted us all
I thought that, apart from the painting lol.

[RandomManJay]

I used to think that you couldn't turn a car around the corner unless you indicated, like unless you indicated the steering wheel wouldn't turn all the way around :P. The thought didn't last long after my Granda turned around a corner without indicating, thought we were going to crash when he did, I was ******** myself xD!

Omg I can relate to all of them apart from the Animorphs book thingy. Also, I remember thinking that babys where born out of females bums because our reception teacher told us. :P But even before that, I thought you could buy babys from the shop, never thought that they where born.

[colourpot]

I thought the moon used to follow me at night, then i realised the moon was everywhere

[FlyingJesus]

- Yeerks from the book "Animorphs" really existed and might be in my parent's brain

I had these two lol, and also there was some series of books where the kids could turn into animal (not Animorphs) but you could only unlock this power if you first did it when you were aged 7 or under, and anyone younger than that wouldn't have been able to read these books so I was like WHY TELL ME NOW :@:@

[Abbie.]

that a witch lived inside my cupboard

and mosters lived on either side of my bed


i didnt sleep much lmao.

[Fifteen]

-That when you got married you would have to get rushed to a hospital to have a baby
-There was a monster living in the front room curtains
-The fairy on the top of the Christmas tree was real (Once I got a chair to try to reach it, left the room, came back and it was on top of the fireplace!)
-Fairies were real

:P

[Wayne]

I used to think that just because old films/old video footage and photos of early 1900s were in black and white that the people during that era were also black and white.

[Meanies]

That there was a bogeyman in my wardrobe :(
i even made sure the door was shut every night

[LoveToStack]

I used to think, still wonder really, that people might view colours differently so one person's blue might be another's green. I would get really into it, deciding that there would be no way to tell because they would be consistent, all the shades of blue would just be shades of green so they'd still be able to identify it as an individual colour but it might be totally different to the way someone else sees it.

That's called being colour blind and does exist LOL :P

I used to think the hover would kill me or something if I went near it. LOL.

[AlexOC]

I once got scared to go down on christmas because i thought Santa was sleeping on the sofa, and if i went down and woke him up he wouldn't give me presents :(

[LoveToStack]

Colourblind generally refers to not being able to differentiate between certain colours. I'm talking about if everyone saw colours differently, the contrast between colours would still be there it's just that blue could look blue for one person and and green to another.

[Inseriousity.]

I waited for my letter from Hogwarts :( Convinced I was a Muggle-born.

I understand and think that to. But theres no way to prove, because we may all see it differently :D

I used to think that everything was black and white, Wednesday was pronounced weddingsday, urmm that the alarm things that when movement is sensed glow red was santas elves watching if you were good or bad.

[Jordy]

There's this thing called "Parachute" where you literally hold a multi-coloured circular sheet (Like a parachute) and you all hold on to it to play games when you're little. When I was told we were going to do parachute at school I thought we was going to be parachuting out of planes which I was very excited about, I was disappointed to say the least.

[Calvin]

Its a common view in psychology and whats known as a subjective view of reality, different shades and colours can be termed as the same because no one see can what anyone else sees. So what I see as red, might be green to you, but you define the green as red because you've grown up with that colour being defined as red, likewise you may see something as blue where I see it as yellow, but I would still define it as blue.

[Niall!]

DragonBall Z, trying to do the kamehameha

Also, hogwarts. God I was disappointed.

[Pazza]

Oh i also used to think a Rampant Rabbit was a rabbit when it was angry.

[Wahey]

[Caution]

that there was a monster in my cupboard.

and i thought santa was real and one time i stayed up waiting to see him LOL.

[Jordan:A]

I used to think there were people working in your stomach moving food around and mashing it up etc.
It didnt help in year 6, there was a cartoon poster showing the little men in the stomach moving food around

[Sixiz]

I thought i could fly i used to train on my bed.

[Kieeran]

[J0SH]

When I used to be bad my sister would tell me someone would tap on my window, then when she was in my room she used to knock on it and say he'd come back if I was bad or didn't sleep. :(

[Jordan:A]

[J0SH]

Lol it was scary my bed was under the window :(

[Mickword]

that one of my stuffed animals had a bow and arrow and was going to kill me if I didn't hide under my blanket lol.

[William93]

I use to think that when a girl was giving birth, it would somehow come out of their thigh.

I also thought I was physically an ape. The idea of evolution wasn't clear, so when someone said "we use to be apes" made me confused.

[jimi]

I used to think you could fly with Rubber rings.

[Pazza]

That could have been embarassing...

Luckily it stayed as a could :P

[Jord]

mmm
my brothers told me if u went past a graveyard and breathed in ghosts would come into you and start living as you so i always held my breath while going past in a car :'(

[Janet Snakehole]

when i had loads of teeth taken out when i was younger, i left a present under my pillow for the toothfairy, it was a little bracelet and a thankyou msg, when i woke up it had gone (and i had told nobody about it!) - i remember checking everywhere for it, under my pillow etc

still to this day when i ask my mum about it, she says she knew nothing about it so to this day i still believe the toothfairy IS real hahaha
