Childish Misconceptions

[Gulliver Carpool]

When I was a kid I thought that everything was black and white until the mid-60s when they invented color; that Darth Vader, Princess Leia, et al were all behind the screen at the movie theater acting the whole story out each time I went to see Star Wars and ESB; and that girls peed from their butts.

I thought:

• if you said you hated God, you'd go to hell.
  
• umbrellas were the same thing as parachutes
  
• there were gnomes living in the bush in my backyard

I thought:

-Marijuana was addictive and could kill you

-Babies spontaneously generated themselves inside of a woman's uterus after she got married to a man and they decided to have one

-World War II was exactly as it was portrayed in Wolfenstein 3D

[Agares Tretiak]

I thought that the world was full of vile, and untrust worthy people who were out for...

...hmmm.

[MikeMurdock McMillan]

I thought many things.

I thought the military had the vehicles that red alert had.

and from aliens I thought that what people looked like on the inside when bishop got torn in half and can survive o.o;

[Kellervo]

I didn't understand why they bothered with the Gulf War when they could've hired Duke Nukem instead.

I thought Jason Voorhees was real.

[Vinnie Lei]

I always thought the round '100' signs on the highways meant you should at least drive 100km/h...

[Tiridates Mikadze]

I believed that mushrooms would make me grow big.

I thought that the epitome of manhood was rescuing princesses.

I believed there were real Ninjas in my city.

[Sonata Spectre]

I was thoroughly convinced by my sister that there were giant "carpet jumper" bugs that lived in the carpets in Africa, and that they would jump out and eat you.

When I was eight years old, I was somehow under the impression that OJ Simpson was responsible for the bombing of the Federal Building on Oklahoma City, which makes some sense because both were all over the news in 1995.

Same.

[Cygna]

Same.

Yeah, me too actually. ;|

[Agares Tretiak]

I used to believe that if you worked hard, studied hard, and played hard, you'd get ahead in life.

;_;

[Rei Kuhr]

I actually thought it was butter.

[MikeMurdock McMillan]

I thought after watching toy story that tyoes come to life when I leave my room O.O

I didn't understand why they bothered with the Gulf War when they could've hired Duke Nukem instead.

I thought the Gulf War took place in the Gulf of Mexico.

I also thought the reason there were invisible walls at the edge of Super Mario 64 levels was because they were saving the rest of the world for the next game and didn't want you to be walking around in it until it was ready and full of enemies and traps.

I confused the words "orgasm" and "organism" for the first 2 years I knew where babies really came from.

I used to think $100 was the largest amount of money anyone could own due to the fact that it was the largest bill.

I was really excited I thought could buy a car once I saved $100 out of my allowance.

[MikeMurdock McMillan]

I thought people build babies from kits o.o;
