Title: Dang We Were Dumb....
Post by: Cinder42 on April 04, 2015, 01:13:56 AM
More clearly, what are some dumb things we believed as little person-McNuggets (also known as kids for those of you who aren't quite acquainted with my unusuol vocabulary)

I used to think that your belly button was connected directly to your stomach, so if you stick your finger in your belly button you would feel all the food you ate that day. I was terrified of bellybuttons for years  :o

I used to belive that from the age of 8ish, I had a traumatic accident that left me in a permanent comatose state or dead, and that since my soul was not ready to be dead or comatose,  my mind was giving me a visual representation about what my life would have been like. Had I not had the accident.

When me and my brother were really little, my brother told me not to drink from the bucket because I could get a disease that'd make my brain inflame and I'd die from the compression.

When my grandparents moved to Indiana, my mom convinced me the only reason they wouldn't move back was because it was illegal to move out of Indiana.

So basically you could move to Indiana from anywhere, but once you do you have to stay forever or risk getting arrested.

I believed this for several years...Gah why??????

For some reason I had an infatuation with deers as a child and actually believed I could ride them.

I told my grandfather, after spotting a deer, that it was mine and I was going to ride it.

To this day they won't let it go e.e

I did the same thing as little kid (not precisely) but I dreamed of riding a deer but my parents told me that their legs where too skinny to hold anyone up. After a few years of deer hunting now though I can safely say that one could probobly ride a deer...... and I have a new illogical deer dream of dropping out of my tree stand on one and slitting its throat with my hunting knife.

As a kid I thought that if you are out past midnight, monsters would come out and eat you.

For a while, I also thought that the way jet engines worked was the fan is connected to a giant rubber band and was wound-up, like how if you stick a pencil through a rubber band, twirl it up and release it, the pencil spins. Yes.

I also used to think of my house as a sentient being and would talk to it.

...im starting to realize how odd I am now...

I used to think the human soul was in the heel of our foot. Soul =/= Sole

I also thought I had unique healing powers because of one time I fell off my bike. I fell down and got up as an older woman came out to help me, and I noticed my a scab where I'd hit my knee. Turns out I'd been unconscious for several hours in the middle of a housing complex road before she'd found me. My parents had believed I was at a friend's house for the day.

I thought that if you tried hard enough and focused everything, you could break out of this reality and enter a new one

I don't think that's a dumb idea... Remember Inception?
(Just don't let that idea consume you XD)

Read Cracked, they made a good article on hidden things in films and the soundtrack is basically Edith Piaf's non je ne regrette rien all along...

When I was a kid I thought pushes were alive in some way... Every animal or human shaped toy, and I still feel bad when I'm around some...

My sister actuolly exposed me to extreme plush-animal-racist as a child. We had a bunch of stuffed animals of the same brand that we would play with and whenever I tried to bring in one of a different brand she would make all of her's really hostile amd hateful towards it amd talk about how "their kind cant play with them" and "they have diseases"
Title: Re: Dang We Were Dumb....

That's so sad... Even simply talking about childhood makes me sad... Even more if pushes are involved

When I was a puppy, I used to think that those flashing coupon dispensers you see in grocery store aisles were some kind of decoys, and if you took the coupon, you would be arrested on the spot and imprisoned, so I was terrified of them.

Haha, yeah, it was sort of funny because like, everyone talks about thwir inner daemon whispering to them and whatever, but I could just be over here like, "it ain't demons, it's the cast of Yugio 5Ds whatching me jump on my trampoline with a camera in the broken swingset and calling me a fat lazy botch!"

When I was little, I was far too serious and if anyone did something "incorrect", I'd get really frustrated.

^I'm still like that...I can't stand to make mistakes no matter how little...it really irritates the you-know-what out of me

When I was little, I thought the sound of a car engine was it purring, and it only purred when I got into the car

Idk if you guys remember those old home security commercials (like ADT or something), but there was this one that had an animation where when you switch on the home security, the entire house gets engulfed in this glowing blue force field (it's like a metaphor), and as a kid i used to think that's what literally happens and thought "those pesky house intruders would think twice about breaking in when they see my house has a force field"...

When I was little I once saw a spider hanging from a single thread, but I didn't see the thread at all so for a while I thought that spiders could fly.

Haha ^ if spiders could fly then i wouldn't exist on this planet. I would never even have been born. That's how horrible that is.


....one time when i was a puppy i was riding my little bike with training wheels at my school and fell off. I scraped my arm on the pavement pretty bad. After getting home, i threw a TANTRUM because i had a huge open wound and i imagined my skin was laying on the ground at the school, (just like, peeled-off from me in one piece or something  XD) and i DEMANDED to my parents that we return so i could retrieve the skin before (as i imagined) an army of ants came and stole my skin for whatever their evil plans were. (Imagining an army of ants carrying away my skin flap). I was running around the house screaming and balling my eyes out at the fact my skin was gone forever. And then they caught me and splashed alcohol all over me  D:

I believed plushies had feelings. I also believed photographs somewhat did as well.

I also believed there was an evil version of Steve from Blue's Clues stalking me and planning to kill me. I remember being in the car with my mom once, silently panicking because I imagined him following us.

I dunno why the hell I thought that. I had lots of imaginary friends--some based on characters from shows I watched--and I guess one went malicious for whatever reason.

Actually, now that I think about it, I had a second one of those "imaginary enemies". I can't remember his name. :I

Whenever my parents left the house I'd ask my brother where they went and he'd say "they're gone and they're never coming back!", which made me cry everytime, even though it happened everytime they left I always believed them. XP
This happened when I was about five by the way.
