    What are some funny misconceptions about things you had as a kid? The only things I can think of at the moment are sex-ed related, lol, but there could be other things too.
    I had a lot of them, not even too long ago xD
    It'll be nice to see some responses~ These can get so weird.

    I thought quicksand was an actual thing I was going to run into on a daily basis in midwestern America.

    I used to think one last name matched up to only one family.

    *Little people in TVs so you see their image on the screen
    *Theres a certain part of a nearby lake where people put their boats in. I confused it with Manitoulin Island for a long time because they both started with m :lol:

    I thought banks gave out money and I couldn't understand why my parents had money issues when you could just roll up to the ATM and get cash.

    Also thought that toilets just emptied out into the river.

    Presidents were basically kings you voted for

    When I was a kid I always thought that peaches came in cans. Once I found out that they were fury and grew on trees I stopped eating them. Havent had a peach since.

    Me too, I did get in quicksand once but it wasn't actually that powerful.

    I thought that whenever you watched a movie, the actors had to act it out each time, like it was always a live broadcast.

    I went through a phase where I really wanted chicken pox... so I "tried" everything I could to get it.

    Of course... I was immunized. So none of it worked :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Oh my gosh, these are so funny! I laughed so hard while reading them hehe, I woke my mom up and she's kinda pissed.

    I thought people could turn into animals and objects when they grew older. I started sentences with
    "when I grow up, I'll be a (insert animal)"
    "When I turn into a (object), I will..."

    I also thought if I ate small dabs of lotion on a weekly basis, I'd turn into a fairy eventually, because my mom told me "lotion will make your skin glow like a fairy"

    And then, the classic "Oh my gosh!! Am I dying?" On my first period. I threw out a weeks worth of underwear "discreetly" and told my mom when it was over. I was in trouble for throwing them out lol.

    When I was younger, I thought the radio in the car was actually really tiny people in the stereos that sang to us.

    I thought people gave birth through their bellybuttons. I also took the phrase "breaking your arm" very literally, and envisioned half of an arm just breaking off from the body.

    I thought the reason why it rained was because the clouds were sad

    And I also thought that Pennsylvania was a country that didn't have electricity and nobody spoke english

    (and some other really weird shit I rather not get into right now XD)

    I thought women randomly got pregnant because I didn't know about sex, and I kept worrying that I would be a "chosen one" when I got older, because I didn't want a kid.

    When I was a kid, I thought that women got pregnant by making out with men. XD

    Penis inbetween boobs to have sex. You would be suprised how long I thought that. Gypsies don't learn about anything sexual unless you are watching porn or on the internet
