Whats the dumbest thing you believed as a child (10 and below)

[Deleted member 512337]

I used to think the world was black and white because photos were black and white.

Anybody that wasn't a kid was old. Everybody was old whether they were in their twenties or sixties.

 

[cearp]

a lot of pokemon rumors (secrets about the games, that were just completely made up)

The "Black Man"....

(Boogey Man,Candy Man whatever..)

Funny: We have a german "Children Folksong" called "Es tanzt ein Bi,Ba Butzemann...."

[Taleweaver]

I was going to write "I'll never grow up!"

...but then I remember the REALLY dumbest thing I believed: "I don't like girls. They're boring".


(please tell me I'm not the only one who thought something along those lines...)

 

[VinsCool]

I believed I would be happy when I became an adult.

...how wrong was I.

 

[DinohScene]

I sincerely believed I'd grow up to have a normal life.

So close...

I believed that eggs needed to be refrigerated and steaks had to be cooked well done.

When I was about 6 or 7 I woke up in the middle of the night because I heard a noise coming from the garden. I looked out the window and there was something in the distance that looked like an alien with a strange red glow and smoke coming from its mouth. I got back into bed and had a very sleeplessness night. In the morning I ran downstairs and told my mum and dad what I had seen. Mum said oh you were just dreaming and I shouted back no it wasn't and my dad told me to shut up and stop talking about it. For years I believed it was an alien and any time I mentioned it dad told me to shut up and stop talking about it. Fast forward a few years to when I started smoking without the parents knowing. One night I was up late and the olds had gone to bed so I snuck out to the garden to have a fly smoke and I then hear the door opening. Shit I thought I'm gonna get busted so I hide myself as best I can and here comes my dad. Next thing I see is the familiar red glow and smoke. The fly fucker must have thought I had gone to bed and he was a secret smoker just like I was at the time. I also now know why he kept telling me to shut up about the alien lol

I believed I would be happy when I became an adult.

I believed I would be happy when I became an adult. And I was right I just had to make a little change to myself

Yeah well it's certainly not as easy as it looks like lol

I guess it takes a shit load of confidence to make any change something I was never lacking in.

I originally was gonna say it takes balls but that was part of my problem

 

[ThatGamingAirman]

I believed that holding a in Pokémon made catching them easier and out of habit I still do it to this day.

Phobias take time to cure.

2 years is certainly too little.
