When I was about 8 my dad was assigned to work at the Pentagon. Driving thru D.C. for the first time I looked at the Washington Monument and shouted to all my family in the car "Hey look! It's the pencil from Pencilvania!"
Under the age of five, I didn't understand the connection between eating and pooping, so I thought that people grew bigger because the food particles built up inside us and made us bigger.
I mean... You were kinda right. The body breaks down what it needs from your food and stores it into fat, and uses the proteins, vitamins to essentially build/rebuild other parts of your body. But not so much in a food type human water balloon way that I'm guessing your thought process was at the time 😅
Super pooper!!
I thought that the human body was completely hollow, all the way down to your toes, and you had to pee or poop when liquid or food filled you up to the necessary level.
In preschool, I vividly remember thinking glitter was some kind of hole through my skin.
I didn't know where it came from and I couldnt get rid off it.
I remember staring at this spec and catching glimpses of unclear reflections..
There was slight existential dread at the thought I might've created a tiny portal or black hole...
I eventually settled with the thought i have superpowers i need to figure out.
Then promtly forgot about it for cupcakes or something.
I saw a history channel documentary on ancient torture and they were boiling the criminal in a huge cauldron. A few days later I saw a boil order for a small town a few mins away and thought that meant there was someone up for trial 💀
When I was 7 my mom and I went to Winco and while she was distracted I tried to open up one of their honey dispenser. A worker came over and instead of scolding me she just told me not to open it. She said "It'll let all the bees out." And since I had just developed a bee phobia from watching Candy Man at a way too young age that was enough for me to stay the f away from those dispensers and not question it till I was like 14.
I thought those old Buick’s looked as if they had teeth, just a little bit scary for a kid. I also was afraid if I poked my fingers into the holes on the side of a Buick that something terrible would happen. Yep, Buick’s were scary.
When my dad was in elementary school, he believed that his permanent academic/disciplinary record was the same thing as a criminal record. Like, if he was late to class he could be randomly arrested for it years later.
The Steve Tyler one had me in tears xD xD xD
In my case I thought that the 5 second was true not a myth until I became around my early to mid teens.
I once was riding in the car with my dad driving, there was a commercial on the radio about how it's illegal to drink and drive. My dad had been drinking a bottle of coke as he drove, and I thought it was super illegal and it scared the crap out of me.
My father loved taking me to the hardware store when I was a kid. He always told me that hardware stores were for real men only and that women weren't allowed to enter it. I honestly don't know why he thought that was funny, my dad is usually not sexist at all and was always a proud girl dad. Guess it was just a weird form of humor and I actually believed him. I even asked him why I was allowed at the hardware store since I was a girl and he answered that little girls don't count, it only applies to grown women.
One day when I was 3 years old, we randomly bumped into our female neighbour at the hardware store. I was so in shock that I actually yelled "Mrs Smith (not actual name), you can't be here! You're not allowed in the hardware store!"
My father was laughing his ass off and our neighbour was just confused as hell. My mother told me the truth that my dad was only joking when we came home that day and I told her about what I saw. I don't remember if she was mad at him or if my parents ever apologized to the neighbor lol.
But yeah, the story about how I believed my dad that women weren't allowed at the hardware store is still told at family gatherings. I am in my 30s by now.
That germs could jump off our hands onto our food. I’ll elaborate. Our family stopped at a
diner during a trip. My brother and I had ordered chicken tenders and fries but couldn’t wash our hands as they had a one person restroom and it was occupied. So we ate our finger food with utensils and Dad explained that germs could NOT jump off our hands onto our food. I also learned that there will be occasions in life where we can’t ’follow the rules to the letter’. The world won’t end if we eat with unwashed hands. (This was in the 80d by the way. Hand sanitizer wasn’t as common as it is in 2024.)
I genuinely thought that there was a secret basement under my house and that when the right time came it would open. No one told me that. I'm not sure why I even believed in it until I was 10.
I wanted to be a horse when I grew up. When someone told me I couldn't, I decided I wanted to marry a horse, instead! 😬💜💜💜💜
When was the wedding?

Ok so I have a few of these, I thought each house on the block was a state in the Union, that cuckoo was a bad word, furniture was fruniture, computer was the yooter, whole wild world instead of whole wide world. Oh and I was 8 when the Iraq war began and thought that Baghdad was constantly filled with so much smoke from weapons exploding and bombs going off that the sun was never visible from there.
13:12 It's amazing how prevalent this is in society. Like female dogs are a popular insult, how do adults not know about them? Then there's Tom, and Felix, and Pete, and Sylvester, and Garfield... actually, _every_ famous cat is male, WTH? Okay, Tardar Sauce a.k.a. "Grumpy Cat" was female, but all the fictional ones at least? What about Ortensia? Who? Ortensia the Cat? Who? Oswald's girlfriend? Who? You might as well cite Arleen, I'm talking about _famous_ cats.
When i was a kid i didn’t know that there were more planets in the solar system. My memory of it goes as followed
The sun, Venus, earth, mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto.
Those boys only.
I didn’t know the names of the others and therefor they didn’t exist. Lol
When my mom explained babys, she said that moms had eggs and dads had tadpoles and when they went swimming together dads tadpoles give a baby to moms eggs to grow... I thought literally swimming, like in a river or pool, is how it happened. Thought it for years....
I thought that people came into the world at certain ages, like my parents had always been grown ups and were never children because I just never saw photos of them not as adults
That I would be able to buy a house.
I didn't realized that animal muscle = meat. I knew "steak" came from cows, but I thought it was a specific part of the cow 😅
I believed that if I played with a Hulk toy and didn’t get his character correct, even slightly, the real Hulk would jump down over the horizon and beat me up. The culprit for causing this was a Burger King commercial I saw in a hotel room at Indiana Beach when I was 8.

Until about the age of 6, I thought all cats were just female dogs.
told.my.sister that worms.were.twigs from the trees that went 8n contact wayer.. i do not remember telling her that lol she believed me lol
The bible.
Once I reached the age of reason and read it, I knew it was a bunch of mythological BS.
It has magic, witches, wizards, cockatrice, unicorns, dragons, and other mythological creatures.
A book that contains mythological creatures is a book of mythology.
God
