I thought masturbation was peeing in the shower and that stuffed animals could grow hair after you cut it.

stuffed animals could grow hair after you cut it.

Same. I cut off my stuffed Ernie's hair and my mom got me a new one after she saw what I did so when I went to go play with him all his hair was back.

[monxcheri]

i thought that people could only see in black && white back when they had black && white television.

[mocassinsx29]

I thought sex was being naked with someone under the blanket.

I thought all women were programmed to have babies when they hit a certain age. I was scared because I heard having babies hurt like hell. (and now I know they do.. not that I've had one. o_o)

I thought there was a little man in my fridge who turned on/off the light. I tried opening the fridge really fast over and over again to try and catch him, but he was faster than me.

I thought being fat or skinny was SOLELY based on your genes. I didn't know food/exercise also played a big factor. ;)

I didn't know that there were people richer than me and poorer than me. I thought everyone was the same.

[*My Cinderella.*]

Boys had cooties.
I wanted to grow up.
I thought the stork delivered babies.
I talked to my toys.
I had an imaginary dog named Skip.
I liked to play tea party.
Watching the people on tv in black and white made me think that everything was actually in those two colors back then.

[*xcaitlinx*]

the only thing i can remember right now is how i used to think that when you wanted to have a baby, you would go to a hospital and pick one out in the nursery or something...hah.

[datass]

I used to think people in the TV were small people who lived in a box.

[AngryBaby]

i used to think crack and weed were the same thing. man was i a silly baby.

Whenever there was wind, there was a tornado. Thunder was God bowling.

I was also really skeptical of people 'cause I thought everybody saw the world differently (blame t.v.). So I would stare at people and wonder if they looked at me and saw a big green monster on an alien planet.

[xforgottenlove]

I thought kissing = sex.

haha me too. also, i thought that babies were born by somehow going through the stomach without tearing it o_O

[scottypottyboi]

mine were that my mommy and daddy will never grow old and ill stay young and they will buy me mcdonalds everyday....12 years later i grow my parents have wrinkles and i barely eat -_- but im still happy

[goodcharlotte]

I thought when it rained that God was crying and when it was thundering that he was jumping.

[gelionie]

I remember cutting all of my doll's hair, thinking it would grow back.
She went bald afterwards. >_>

- I was DETERMINED to grow up and be an Artist.
- I was always afraid to pick flowers, because I didnt want to hurt them.
- I thought everything had feelings. The couch, the floor, everything.
- I thought people lived forever... and that no one that I loved could ever die.
- That I was 10x smarter than ANY other kid my age.
- And that people (other than my parents) wouldnt like me if I didnt behave perfectly, or did the slightest thing wrong.

this is probably one of the most endearing threads we have at cB. It makes me feel....well...tainted lol.

I remember thinking that Barbie was a real person and people liked her so much they decided to make little ones so everyone could take her home.

And everything in the old days was black and white.

And that everyone in the west wore cowboys boots and hats and tight jeans (like most people think of texas -_-)

and if you closed your eyes people couldn't see you. kinda like if you cant see the camera the camera cant see you..except in this case they can.

I couldn't smile and keep my eyes open at the same time.

I also thought cats really had nine lives. Like kill it and it wakes up...like Thacary Binks on Hocus Pocus.

I used to think mascara was evil. that if you wore it your eyelashes would fall off. my mom told me as a kid NEVER to wear it (because I didnt need it lol) but i thought it was cuz it was evil.

I used to think that crayons were the greatest invention. I still kinda think crayons are the greatest invention. second only to photoshop...the computer crayon :)

I used to think Molly McButter was snack food. I would climb up on the counters and sneak fingerfuls...ew....

[goodcharlotte]

I remember having the glasses like Julian. I thought that if I wore them that no one could see me unless they put glasses on themselves.

[datass]

I remember cutting all of my doll's hair, thinking it would grow back.
She went bald afterwards. >_>

That's exactly what I did to my barbie. I got so angry after a few months because her hair was still short.

[Mr. Slowjamz]

i thought i could communicate with woodlice .

[smoke]

I thought that thunder was Angels bowling in the sky.

[sadolakced acid]

i'm deprived.

i never really thought about sex. then i found an encyclopedia and read it.

i thought... errr...

umm...

gosh darn it. i never thought anything cute.

well, i'll just have to tell you guys some stories.

okay, so it was like, kindergarten. i would go afterschool to a sort of daycare thing since my mom was getting her degree. So i was playing with this kid, and we had these big block legos.
anyways, i found this block that had a word on it. I coulnd't read, so i asked the kid, who i didn't know, if he could read.

he gave me a resounding "yes", so i asked him what the word was. he said it was "police". So i was like, cool. i think i'll build a police train. and so i built a train with that block that said "police" on the front. the kid left earlier than me. Finally my mom came to pick me up and asked what i had built.

i replied, of course, that it was a police train. strangely enough, she asked me "why does it say 'stop' on the front?"

evil kid lied to me! i couldn't believe it!

OH.

here's one. i believed that if i left my clothes on the floor at night, little people would come out of the dark and play in them. Yea. my dad told me that one. Like, 3 years ago, i realized he was talking about bugs.
