I for one was an extremely stupid child.

For example when I saw black and white movies I assumed the world pre-1960 was entirely colourless..

I also thought(seeing my Dad head off to work every morning)you had to pay to get a job and then work for free until you die.

Ibelieved that babies dug their way up from the ground becuase they were planted and farmed like crops and then sold to willing mothers.

All said, I was very, very simple.

Can anyone else match or betterthis level of stupidity from their younger, more innocent days? Please, for the love of God, tell me you can...

I used to think that WWF was real. I was totally shocked when my Stone Cold Stunner didn't 1 hit K.O. that guy...(or at least send him to the hospital)

I must have done it wrong. Yea, that's it. =P

We have these ugly white, round speakers in our ceilings that look a little like drains. When I was about seven I wondered if they were there so if the house flooded and turned upside-down, it could drain out.

Yeah. >_>

Flooded houses turning upside down are a distinct possibility though, you had every right ot be wary.

balfe1990

Haha, I believed both of those. :lol:

I thought there were little people in the tv that acted out different shows depending on what channel you were on.

There was also a long time I thought everyone was a robot and I was the only biological person in existance. I wasn't completelysure, but it seemed very likely.

As a kid I always thought the Japanese made giant monsters that would eventually destroy their cities. I think I picked up on the nuke thing early.

lol on your second point TC...over here in ireland thats almost true in many sectors...especially for graduates. even people who are trying to work for free to just to get some experience are being turned away now. working for free still incurs costs on the employee. what a fun age we live in :S. anywho when i was a kid i thought clouds were like marshmallow (cartoons :P). the first time i went on a plain i thought there would be a bit of a bump as we smashed our way through the clouds.

I think I believed in Santa for a couple years. It never sat well with me though and then I caught my mother carrying presents into the other room at about 4am. That was the end of that.

Yep, me too.

I also thought when he kicked a football into the air, it'd go for miles and I could have sworn it took like 5 minutes to come back down..

And that girls peed out their arses.

Jumping off high places and believing I could glide and not hurt myself landing using an umbrella. I don't think Ms. poppins was the reason I tried it though. I think I got the idea from some cartoon or game...

Actually, she was. I was thinking of the Simpson episode that she apppeared in...

I used to think that the only way for a baby to come out was to cut the stomach.

Can't recall anything other than that.

Okay so in movies you see guys get shot a lot with blood spattered everywhere in all kinds of gruesome ways, yet you can expect to see those guys pop up in another movie only to get shot again and again. It was because of this back when i was a kid that i was led to believe that hospitals can fix anything. So whenever I hear in the news that a guy gets shot or outright killed no matter what it was, i always thought the hosptials would be able to bring them back to full health. So i was always dismissive of such news whenever i heard them. All because of movies.

I grew up in a rural area, and well, I thought that people of non-caucasian skin tones just had a tan because they came from a hotter country.

I am sooo embarrassed about that one :lol:
