Dumb Things You Believed as a Kid

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

I remember Bugs Bunny mention that he was going on a vacation to Miami, and I thought he was saying "My ammy". I thought an ammy was a place you go on vacation to, and everyone had one. I wondered if I had an ammy, where it was.

When I was really young, I misheard the word "amen" as "all men", and pronounced it like that up until I learned how to read and realized what was actually being said.

I used to think hear the words "trauma" and "traumatic" as "drama" and "dramatic." So I thought they were the same thing.

That the good guys always win.

[Witchyjoshy]

Here's another one

-That being nice is a good thing.

[Sleepy]

It is a good thing. Doesn't mean it'll bring great lifelong success.

I used to think that I had a psychological problem because I fapped.

I used to think I had one because I don't.

This is not something I believed, but rather my brother. He was completely convinced that we had elephants living behind our car. Like, full sized elephants just hanging out in the street behind the car. He would get my parents to buy him peanuts so he could feed the elephants. Then he would go outside and just throw the peanuts on the ground.

I used to untill I was about 8 think that ice cream was made by people screaming at ice cause I didn't know how to read untill i was about nine and no one ever bothered to correct me (My family is full of dumb asses me included.) Another thing is I used to believe that all the products shown on tv were real and at one point after watching an episode of Dexter's lab went looking for a Major Glory action figure  for 3 straight hours in a Toys R Us.

We didn't have a chimney in our house, so I thought Santa used a chainsaw to cut a hole in the wall so he could get in.

...Okay, admittedly, that's pretty awesome.

I believed the world was black and white until colour tv was invented.

[Witchyjoshy]

I notice that to be a common belief among children exposed to black and white TV after growing up with color TV

...I don't know if I believed that.  I can't remember :V

Agreed.

Glad I'm not the only one.

That's adorable.
