Dang We Were Dumb....

[Cinder42]

More clearly, what are some dumb things we believed as little person-McNuggets (also known as kids for those of you who aren't quite acquainted with my unusuol vocabulary)

Post Merge: April 04, 2015, 01:16:09 AMI used to think that your belly button was connected directly to your stomach, so if you stick your finger in your belly button you would feel all the food you ate that day. I was terrified of bellybuttons for years

I used to think there were invisible monsters that lived in bathroom toilets.

I used to belive that from the age of 8ish, I had a traumatic accident that left me in a permanent comatose state or dead, and that since my soul was not ready to be dead or comatose,  my mind was giving me a visual representation about what my life would have been like. Had I not had the accident.

I use to think that if you sneezed too hard your head would explode

When me and my brother were really little, my brother told me not to drink from the bucket because I could get a disease that'd make my brain inflame and I'd die from the compression.

When my grandparents moved to Indiana, my mom convinced me the only reason they wouldn't move back was because it was illegal to move out of Indiana.

So basically you could move to Indiana from anywhere, but once you do you have to stay forever or risk getting arrested.

I believed this for several years...Gah why??????

For some reason I had an infatuation with deers as a child and actually believed I could ride them.

I told my grandfather, after spotting a deer, that it was mine and I was going to ride it.

To this day they won't let it go e.e

I did the same thing as little kid (not precisely) but I dreamed of riding a deer but my parents told me that their legs where too skinny to hold anyone up. After a few years of deer hunting now though I can safely say that one could probobly ride a deer...... and I have a new illogical deer dream of dropping out of my tree stand on one and slitting its throat with my hunting knife.

As a kid I thought that if you are out past midnight, monsters would come out and eat you.

For a while, I also thought that the way jet engines worked was the fan is connected to a giant rubber band and was wound-up, like how if you stick a pencil through a rubber band, twirl it up and release it, the pencil spins. Yes.

I also used to think of my house as a sentient being and would talk to it.

...im starting to realize how odd I am now...

[Gone forever]

I used to believe that the world was innocent...

[Midnight Madness]

I used to think the human soul was in the heel of our foot. Soul =/= Sole

I also thought I had unique healing powers because of one time I fell off my bike. I fell down and got up as an older woman came out to help me, and I noticed my a scab where I'd hit my knee. Turns out I'd been unconscious for several hours in the middle of a housing complex road before she'd found me. My parents had believed I was at a friend's house for the day.

I thought that if you tried hard enough and focused everything, you could break out of this reality and enter a new one

I don't think that's a dumb idea... Remember Inception?
(Just don't let that idea consume you )

Read Cracked, they made a good article on hidden things in films and the soundtrack is basically Edith Piaf's non je ne regrette rien all along...

When I was a kid I thought pushes were alive in some way... Every animal or human shaped toy, and I still feel bad when I'm around some...
