Childhood Misconceptions

[RomanClock]

that was actually pure coincidence, I was on the front page and saw you posted.

I guess there are actually 2 things:
I once stapled my finger just to see what would happen.
And I hung up the phone on someone thinking the machine would record his message.
Yea, boring.

I wanted to make my  head turn into a giant strawberry so i only ate specific gushers.

I believed that the US was the only country and the world and every other country was a part of it.

I used to think pokemon were real, and I'd go out every summer searching for them.

I used to think coffee was a disgusting drink. LOL ISNT THAT FUNNY

Play-doh was cuisine.

Clock in the making.

I used to fantasize that 15 giant Pokéballs, one for each Pokémon type, would fall from space and release all the Pokémon into the real world. Awesomeness would promptly ensue.

Inside joke.

that shotgun story is too possible to be made up, just so you know and it wasnt those code locks, just the masterlock ones, you only open it with a key. life was great

I want to know how a 5 year old could withstand the recoil from a shotgun, yet alone be able to fire it again after wards. I would also like to know how you knew how to put shells in it and/or why it was already loaded.

G.I. Joes are not cool and they never were. There's your misconception.

Shut up, they were awesome. !

I met a person who thought that. Except for they where a bit old to think things like that.


I used to think that the the netherlands and the netherworld where the same thing.

When I was very little I thought Ozzy Ozbourne and Howard Stern were the same person. I also thought you impregnated girls by peeing in them.

i thought babies were made via banging a man and a woman together violently

Why were they only able to list the most known three fighting systems?

[Poltergeist]

I thought you could tell I was lying just bylooking me in the eye

It was the '80's. That's all we knew.

I used to call eyebrows elbows and vice versa. I don't know, the words sound similar ok.

[DigitalLemonClock]

i think you mean elbrows and eyebows

I used to think the holocaust was something that didn't cost much money.

[SpinningCubeClock]

I used to think school counted for something.

Heh, I've developed a philosophy about that:

Primary = Best years of your life
Intermediate = Iffy
Highschool = Fucking shit
University = Don't know yet, I'm only 16 but I expect it'll be better because there won't be so much teenage angst.

I never thought this, but one summer when I was a kid my friend and I tried to capture a bunch of small animals so we could have them fight as if they were pokemon. It didn't work out too well. Most things run away,  except slugs, which do nothing at all. Also we made a salamander's tail fall off and I felt bad.

And your friend grew up to be Michael Vick.

No, he does network security out in Boston.

I used to get the Oscars and the Emmies mixed up all the time.

some of these stories are really gold!

I have been reading so long I don't remember anything from when I was little

sometimes I suddenly "understand" the meaning of words, though, even now still.
like "revolver" because it rotates, and "K-9" because it spells "canine". Mostly foreign words though, so I guess that's all right.
