Casual Things you believed when you were very young

[King Jameth III🌳]

I seriously think the only thing I had was that taxes were monthly

 

[Dragon Lord Fladnag]

Newborn babies descend from Heaven (I bet ya'll can figure out my reaction when I learned otherwise).

That’s sorta similar to something I thought.
When my younger brother was born, I thought that God came to the door of our house like a delivery man and gave him to us.

I watched too much OG brainrot as a kid, shows like Larva and Grizzly and The Lemmings. I used to think you could actually see farts and fart bubbles

i used to think that my grandpa had been to the moon before
he showed me a video of the moon landing and i thought the astronaut was him and my grandma was the other astronaut
he never corrected me, i think he enjoyed the praise i gave him

 

[RandomDuckNerd]

not true. Things like Santa Claus being real

wait what

 

[HandsomeSquirrel🐿️]

What if... Santa is real? Maybe Saint Nicholas found a way to be immortal!
(dun dun duuun)

 

[King Jameth III🌳]

wait what

yeah I agree, what do you mean things like Santa not being real? This is the "things you believed as a child but don't because you aren't immature", not the "factually accurate things" thread. I thought a moderator of all people wouldn't post in the wrong thread...

I believed that in Pokémon, the "physic" type was "physics"

presidents were immortal gods and I could talk to George Washington if I wanted to

Only is America...

 

[HandsomeSquirrel🐿️]

I used to think the contraction "it's"—meaning, of course, "it is"—also meant what I now know is "its", the possessive form of the pronoun "it".

I used to think that America was a democracy, when in fact, it is actually a republic.

Way back in elementary school someone told me that you turn into a vampire if you eat an apple, I didn't really believe them, but I wasn't able to look at an apple normally after that for the next few years.

Those are not the OG brainrot

 

[Ludolf🌳🥐🐿️🦍]

Some of mine are that onions shoot little seeds in your eyes (which is why some people's eyes are irritated after cutting an onion), if I drank soda, I would be arrested (don't ask), and that songs didn't have notes, singers just sung the lyrics.

 

[Benry Gaming]

If I drank soda, I would be arrested.

I thought coke had alcohol in it.

 

[OldBegonia]

It's not so much that I BELIEVED this? But...I sorta wondered...what if...
The stars we see at night are cities on the other side of the world cuz, like, the earth turns inside out at dusk.

You asked.

 

[Mecha_Twitchy 🎧🎵]

I used to think that alcohol was just called "Adult drinks" no matter if you went to a bar and ordered something... Etc.
That was something my parents gaslighted me to believe.

On a different note, my ex's younger brother thinks that you need to shut the windows every time they hear a specific bird else it will fly into the house and explode.

 

[Benry Gaming]

I used to think alcohol would kill you in like a week of drinking it a few times

When I was 2 in 1983, I thought the movie "Superman" was a dramatization of a real guy.
