Your Childhood Misconceptions?

-I thought when you ate food fell to the bottom of your body and piled up the more you ate.

-Vacuum cleaners could cut your toes off

-Sex was when a girl and a man lie on one another and kiss for a long long time

-God randomly put babies in women when he thought it was time for them to be pregnant

-When dogs or cats touched noses they were kissing (you can thank The Lady and the Tramp for that confusion)

-It was illegal for anyone to have sex(since i didn't know sex was how you get pregnant i thought it was just a bad thing people do for fun.)

-Swallowing watermelon seeds could result in watermelons growing from your stomach.

-Teachers lived at school.(what do you expect, i never say them come or leave.)

These were when i was very young. Like single digit ages, never exposed to the real world yet. Don't worry. Im not that dumb now.

lol....:|....i dont know if i should take you seriously or not..

- I thought that Congress was a person. I watched the news as a little kid on a regular basis for some reason, and I'd always hear about how congress did this or congress did that. I always confused about how this Congress guy seemed to be doing so much and also seemed to be immortal considering he had lived for a couple hundred years.

- I thought that if you had life insurance that meant you go resurrected if you died. I was really disappointed when I learned the truth.

You should always take me seriously. I demand to know why you consider that statement to be a misconception.

-I thought the Earth rotated because of all the car wheels rolling it around.

-I thought people at the bottom of the world hung upside-down (thank you 'You Can't do that on Television').

-I thought news reporters could see everyone through the TV

-Eggs were made at the store

It took me until I was about fifteen to understand that when they said the word 'euthanasia' they weren't talking about kids in Japan.

One guy I met when I was a college freshman thought trees make the wind, another guy thought belly button lint came from inside of your body.

I remember, when I was like 6 or 7, I knew about the fact that you know the earth is one huge sphere and we are all standing on it from different sides (simplified version to give you an idea of how I perceived it).

So I was wondering back then, what if we are not standing on top of it but standing inside it?

Like the earth being a hollow spherical place.

i thought all adults new each other

my dad could fix anything, even dead bugs

a bottle of alcohol on the top shelf(blue maui) was blue cool aid in a bottle and wondered why i couldnt have any

all i can think of for now

If the strudel is in her pie then that actually is one form of sex.

Because sex is when a man and a woman love each other so much that they get really close together and the man's penis goes into the woman's vagina.

--I actually read that in a child sexual education book once. why they should make that for children i dont know--

-That all women had at least one teeny tiny baby embryo in their stomach and they'd all have one.

-That if I stood up urinating, it all would go in the toilet. But I was totally wrong when I tried it as a four year old. :lol:

-That your brain is made of jello and if you cut your head open you have instant jello and you can make some more and put it back in your head.

-That profanity is bad. :P

I was 4 okay? :(

dont worry mines is worse. lol when i was young i tried to cut my toes off cuz i thought they would grow back. but i didnt get very far cuz i asked my dad if he could help me.

no just kidding. you're still crazy for trying that.:D

I thought the highest number was 10.

-i remember one more. i thought girls peed through their butts. when i was young i saw my lil sis peeing and since it doesnt go out in a stream it rolled down and fell into the toilet from an area near the butt. i thought that for a while. i even remember arguing and using that as a fact (mine was that girls pee through their butts, the other guy argued that they have weiners that are real small that they pee through.)

Girls didnt do number 2.Big_Bad_Sad

That life is fair, good things come to good people, the truth will always prevail, and hard work always pays off. Whoops... what illusions those all turned out to be.Noammonia

I'm crazy.:P Another misconception is that I thought humans could get hairballs too, so I went online to see how to prevent it, and I found out cats eat grass to stop it.

Guess what I did? I ate grass from my front lawn! ;) I still do though.

uhhh....my parents say im not allowed toassociate with you anymore...... uh...bye *logs off*

-If you take little sips of a drink at a time youll have to pee less

-my mom explained child-making as a fish and an egg being friends. I remember checking the freezer for the fish, because I wanted to throw them out. I hated my sister.

- when I got older than that (3, in the above statement) it took me a long time to realize the necessity of nudity in child making. I too thought it was just laying there and waiting. -If you stand straight up, when the world turns you'll fall over.

Jeez I'm sure there were tons more, probably mostly fuelled by tv and movies, but I can't think of them.

My childhood was only wrapped in ignorance, not misconceptions. =(

when i finally grew out of the misconception that sex is lying on top of each other and kissing, here is what i thought until like i was 9 or 10. sex was just dry humping. you could have all clothes on and dry hump. and there was no penetration. and i thought it all felt super good the ENTIRE time,(which i thought was around 6 hours for most)and i didnt think the penis was involved in sex.

Summary

The guy slams his nuts onto the girl's clothed butt super hard for like 6 hours and it would all feel super super good.

That Santa wasnt real :cry:

being outside a night was safe as long as you had a flash light. i didnt know about skunks, robbers, racoons, pedophiles, large dogs that bite and many other thingsat the time

That Santa was real :cry:

Wolls

Wait....what? :(

Lilyanne46

Actually, girls kinda do...

But another misconception of mine is that eggs cried when they saw another one get cracked open.

ok lol you have some of the craziest things. i mean mine were legit guesses, pretty intelligent if i do say so. but these are hilarious. did some strange incidents occur that would legitimize the logic behind any of those misconceptions? or where they just things you thought out of nowhere?

--also-- Once i had a fish and he pooped and the poop reminded me of fried fish. so i thought that the bigger fish pooped the fried fish i ate and the tiny goldfish pooped mini-fried fish. i reached in and collected most of it to try it out. but my mom stopped me.

- I only thought there were A.D. years

- When i was really little, I thought there were people talking in the radio

- I didn't know you needed an erection to have proper sex

- I thought since I spoke english, I lived in England (I really Live in America, and always have)

- chocolate milk came from chocolate cows

I did believe that a large green cooking pot my mother used was evil and intimidating. She used it to make jam. Sadly as she got rid of it by the time I grew up I haven't been able to establish whether it was a misconception or if the cooking pot was indeed evil.

Noskillkill your sig makes me sad. :(

I tried that when my friend had cancer, I found out that wasn't true the hard way. :(

I also used to think that vacuum cleaners could cut your toes off.
