People Are Cracking Up At These 35 Nonsensical Beliefs These Twitter Users Had As Kids
Childhood could be seen as one of the most adorable periods of a person’s life. The time when children start to ask and learn various things about the world is very important. And usually, it brings a lot of fun to adults who try to explain and share their knowledge as best as possible. I guess we all remember times when we struggled to understand certain matters. Having this in mind, Twitter user @ExileGrimm asked people what was the dumbest belief they had when they were kids. The tweet got more than 93k likes and almost 7k retweets.

The Twitter user started the thread by sharing her own belief that birds grew from bird seeds and that she even managed to prove this to be right. In the comments, people also shared their own beliefs that they soon understood to be nonsense. Even though these thoughts were false assumptions, now they make thousands of people laugh and think of their own funny childhood stories.

How dare you reveal his secret identity? Just between the two of us, my dad is his associate!
I thought people who spoke English were just faking it and everyone's native language was Ukrainian.
Understandable. 1 is the smallest-100 is the largest. It's a unit of measurement that children can relate to..
I thought that long haired dogs and cats were girls and short haired ones were boys.
It bothers me when parents give a child a name that sounds cute for infants and children but immature for adults. I sometimes suggest, "Put 'President' at the beginning of the name. How how appropriate does that combination sound?"
I am italian but when I speak/write in english I think in english I do not translate from italian...
I always thought when a woman threw up she was pregnant immediately after. This was thought when i was 6 or 7. Every time i threw up after that i sobbed. 🤷🏻♀️
When I heard the term "Great depression" the first time I thought it was because evrybody was really unhappy with how things were going. They never explained it here in the UK fully in history lessons. They just said "and at that time America was going through the great depression."
I used to think when there was a young version of a person on a program or movie then it was actually a video of the actor when they were a kid
Like when Elmer Fudd stuck the rifle barrel into the hole and it curled up out of the hole behind him!
When I was young, I thought that if I behaved good, treat others with respect and kindness, be honest and law-abiding, that would automatically mean that I would have a good, happy life, and got treated back the same way. No such luck.
Yeah, kinda like how I thought as an adult I wouldn't never be bullied again because adults know better and behave properly... little did I know...

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
Yeah, many preschoolers (hopefully friend wasnt older) think this. I remember thinking my entire butt was for poop.
Load More Replies...When I was 5 they told me that paper was made with trees.. I thought for about 2 years that they accurately choosed trees with white wood and no defects, and cut very very thin slice of wood to make paper sheets, until my teacher explained the entire process at school..
Though that is precisely the process for making wood veneer, so you can just shift that knowledge.
