My friend told me that when she was little she did know there were muscles, bones and organs in her body. She thought it was all poop the whole way through. She told me this like 20 years ago and I can NOT forget this. I just picture her adorable little self completely unbothered by the idea that she's a poop balloon

I tried to hatch a fish egg by putting it in warm water and waiting patiently. It was smoked caviar.

You guys ever watch Pretty Woman? It was my absolute favorite movie when I was 5. There is a part where Julia Roberts pulls out some condoms and they are all different colors, she asks Richard Gere which one he wants and I though she was offering him lollipops. I remember this huge fight cause my aunt walked in and me and my cousins were watching it because you know I owned that VHS and she put me in time out after screaming at me that they don't allow things like that in her home. I put up quite the fight, there was nothing inappropriate about Pretty Woman and I believed my aunt to be nuts. Still feel that way to this day. I didn't realize the movie was about a prostitute until I was around 13. That movie has solidified my belief that kids can watch rated R movies because they don't know what is going on, and when they are old enough to know what is going on, then they are also old enough to watch it. Just my opinion.

I was growing up in a non-religious area, so I thought that religion was some ancient thing nobody believed in anymore. When I was 11, I experienced a cultural shock when my roommate in a summer camp turned out to be a Christian who prayed every evening.

When I was little (60-odd years ago), I took the expression "there's a first time for everything" just a bit too literally and lived in terror of the first time I would break a leg or an arm, have a heart attack, drown in the neighborhood pool, etc., etc..

I used to think men with moustaches are the married ones and the ones without, were singles.

When I was five or younger, since I got to run around outside without a shirt like my dad, I thought that I was a boy and that when I grew up I would turn into a girl. I thought the reverse happened to girls.

I thought snipe hunting was real. At parties, the adults would send us out with spoons to clack and paper bags to catch snipes. Really they were getting rid of us so we couldn't see them get high. No one caught a snipe....

I used to think that actors getting married were legally married and had to run out for a quick divorce as soon as possible so no one was breaking the law. I also thought sex lasted exactly 2 hours. 😂😂

I thought I could see the world spinning slowly until my dad told me it was just the clouds moving.

When I was younger I got prosecute and prostitute mixed up it made for some weird conversations

As a kid believed that "ex-husband" and "ex-wife" meant they had gotten married really fast, soon after they first met, without getting engaged first - not that they were no longer married!

I used to think the deep sea was underneath sand at the bottom of the ocean (sunlight zone).

I, too, thought dogs were all boys and cats were all girls. Also, my mother told my sibling and I that being noisy while cakes were baking would stop them from rising, rendering it inedible; something to do with vibrations in the air (which obviously passed through a closed oven door). I believed this up until my 20s. Little did I know she would bake a cake when she just wanted an hour of peace and quiet.
