Mad things you thought as a small kid

[hossam]

i believed that there was a guy in the traffic light

lol, i used to think traffic lights were controlled by people who monitored the streets using cameras to determine what color the light should be, i was like 5

 

[Harbringer]

I thought all toys were alive and just didnt show it, but if we could sneak up on them fast enough we could "catch" them.

I thought that playing guitar was hitting all open strings, and didn't understand holding down frets.

I refered to all people with slanty eyes as "Zoodo" or "rezoodo" in my head, as in, theres another "rezoodo".

I couldn't understand the concept of causing pain to anybody whether they deserved it or not

I thought communism(although I didnt know what it was, just the idea of everybody giving) could work and couldn't see why it wasn't already.

 

[Naval Power]

I thought I was more agile and sneaky than my cat, turned out to be wrong on so many levels.

 

[Trafalgar]

I really did think my dog was being sent to live on a farm in the country.

I was only nine, and parents don't lie.

Heh, I thought this too until my parents told me about the sensors under the road.

I used to think that a computer's storage was limited to how many icons you could fit on the desktop.

 

[WICKLC1]

I thought wars were fought until every last person on one side was dead.

 

[Ramius75]

That its Amazing and coincidental that a boys have a plug and the girls have a socket...

 

[Kerozine]

Hollywood, Disneyland and New York City were all places to be, to live, to experience.

America? Never heard of it.

 

[Ramius75]

Probably that Colonel Sanders was a Colonel.

U mean he wasnt ????


Also when i was young... i thought that the American Indians are bad guys and the Calvary will always come to save the day.

 

[Kerozine]

Oh, and if you dug far enough into the ground, you could reach all the way to China.

(Never made it. )

I know... Made it at least fifty feet down (it felt like) before the sun set, but no china

 

[carmen510]

I thought China was still ruled by the emperor, but he relocated to a new Imperial Palace.

 

[The Enigma]

When we were in Australia the car my dad used had a antenna that was almost teared off. It was just hanging togheter with a piece of tape around it. So one day i asked my dad:

"What happens if the antenna falls of?"
My dad: "The car blows up"

I was terrified of driving for the next week, until my mother found out what he had said. She was not amused

That just made my day.

I thought Euthanasia was "Youth in Asia" and was really confused by what was so contraversial about a bunch of Asian kids. I thought maybe it had something to do with Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I guess if Asian kids could drive and beat up adults it could be problematic.

Like every kid that ever went to school I assumed that my teachers lived in their classrooms, waiters lived in the restaurants, and pretty much everyone lived where they worked (except my parents).

My grandmother told me they put dead bodies in speed bumps.

When I found out about condoms I thought guys had to wear them 24/7 (I think they made a South Park episode about this.)

 

[Adamb0mb]

The difference between pies and cakes eluded me for quite some time.

 

[Abaddon]

That you could cut a worm up into lots of pieces and get lots of worms!

 

[dannyshenanigan]

That you could cut a worm up into lots of pieces and get lots of worms!

According to Wikipedia in some species of earth worms it is theoretically possible to grow two whole worms from a bisected specimen.

 

[Abaddon]

Really? Well certainly so in segmented worms such as tapeworms I expect.

But the common earth worm, (which in my childhood was only worm in existance! ) Only the piece with a mouth can possibly surive, and even then its pretty unlikely.

Tht Antarctica was the biggest continent (idk why)

Do you know board game Alias?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alias_(board_game)
You basically have to explain words from word cards to your partner while not using parts or derivatives of them. The faster a pair explains and guesses, the quicker they move on board.
Once in university while playing that, one of my friends asked his partner "The largest continent?" He replied "Australia!" in a heartbeat. Funny thing is, "Australia" was the word the first guy was trying to explain.
In a second, both realized what just happened and had really dumb faces...
