Childhood Misconceptions

[RubiksClock]

I thought fish could survive through being flushed into the sewers completely unscathed.

I used to think I could just make up words for anything and people would know what I was talking about. I still like to make up words in my own head.

i used to think that i had a future.


i was a dumbass

[Maltese]

I didn't have any... I feel so left out

didn't believe in santa, didn't believe in the easter bunny, my parents never lied to me about anything.

I didn't know what a "future" was until I saw Back to the Future when I was 8. In that scene where Marty and George move in sync in the café, I asked my mother "Is that guy his future?"

when I was seventeen

I always thought subtle meant the opposite of what it means.

Whenever my sister and I would find an "original" box of something we'd misread it as "origanal" and we thought that was some sort of flavoring.

[EtchASketchClock]

I thought I had some mutant mushroom dick.
Then I learned about circumcision.

[GodClock]

i didnt know what the word "boner" meant.
i guess thats not really a misconception, just misinformation.

I thought your kidneys were where your pee was.

Not entirely untrue.

I thought they peed out of the same place they gave birth.

If you never knew any better, it makes sense seeing how guys work.
Your child form was actually pretty logical.

I, myself, have very little memories of my childhood for some reason, so I can't remember what ridiculous things I thought.

[miracle fruit]

I thought vagina was "bajina", and that women's vaginas turned left-to-right instead of up-to-down once they grew up.

thats just plain fucked up

[Fireman]

I used to think that gender was based on hair length.
But if I came across a boy with long hair I would think of them as a girl boy and if I came across a girl with short hair then they'd be a boy girl.

[Silly Putty Clock]

I thought I had some mutant mushroom dick.
Then I learned about circumcision.

I used to think that the small folds of skin on the insides of my cheeks were developing into gills, since I loved to swim.

EDIT: I also thought it was acceptable for people to show their genitals in public restrooms, but not their butts.

You were a kid when Finding Nemo came out?

[Silly Putty Clock]

I used to wonder whether black people's melanin somehow affected their sense of touch and caused them to feel things differently from white people. Similarly, I thought eye colour affected how people saw colours.

[Roman Collar Clock]

Come to think of it I thought something was wrong with my penis because the head wasn't a perfect dome shape.

[FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK]

i didnt know what the word "boner" meant.
i guess thats not really a misconception, just misinformation.

I called it an erection until 6th grade, then my friend made a lego tower and called it "The Eiffel Boner" and he told me what it meant.
