We all think of silly things when we were younger.

When I was 4-5 I swore that bird seeds grew birds, thus the name. When my parents asked me to prove it to them, I planted a pile of bird seeds.

The next day there were loads of birds where I planted the seeds, showing I was right.🤣

I used to think that one of my dads brothers was going to throw him off of a cliff. (I watched Lion King a lot when I was young)

That all Crayola marker packages said "Washable Lavable" on them.

Found out when I was 17 that lavable is French.🤣 Canadian kid problems.

people had the flesh of a watermelon inside them. i remember seeing a model of a person basically split in half (for my older brother’s school we weren’t psychopaths) and seeing the lungs and stuff and being like “that’s ALMOST right, good try” in my best condescending voice.

That's the opposite of the stereotype. I will admit that anything beyond 1" of my face is beyond my understanding without my glasses on.

I thought that I used to think a ton of silly things.. And now I think that I used to think of silly things then, and I'm sure in the future I'll think the same of present me.

Once I saw in a movie that a man ,during an action scene was running faster than a train ,dog etc .Then I thought I could it do as well and when a dog barked at me I started running and it chased me.While running when I looked to my side ,I realised it was going ahead of me and that's when I become terrified and stopped .Luckily my home was nearby.

I had understood how babies are made wrong. In my defense, my mom explained it to me, uhm... not very effectively. I was about 5, and she told me that a little seed comes out of daddy's you-know-what and goes into mommy's you-know-what, and then a baby grows in her belly. But she never mentioned specific, so here I was, imagining a seed shaped like a sunflower seed, and the same size, flying in the air and basically tracking a mommy-to-be even if one of them was at home and the other one was at work, LOL! Thankfully, a few years later, my school offered a proper sexual education course and I'm so glad I attended, because I learned everything. Properly. :P

When I was a little girl, I thought that a guy's pen*s had bones in it you know, like a chicken neck.
My big brother told me this. While we were at school after health class. They didn't tell us girls much about guy parts, so he got away with it.
Now, I believed this until I was married and had my first child. I asked a roommate if they could tell if her baby was a boy or girl. They have x-rayed her stomach to find out the position of her baby. She asked how they could have told if it was a boy or girl? (This was before ultrasound was invented) I said they could tell by the bones in the pe*is. She cracked up and asked why I thought this. So, I told her.
A little later when her doctor came to check on her, she told me to ask him how that part of a man is made. So, I did, and needless to say the doctor had a good laugh.

You're confusing trans with crossdressing. An honest mistake and you know now.

I believed for years that whenever the day came that I finished 5th grade (the last grade at my elementary school) that my life was going to reset like a video game and I was going to wake up and it would be the first day of kindergarten again and I would forever be stuck in a time loop of early childhood. What actually happened was that I went to middle school. Kind of anticlimactic.

When I was little, I watched a science show about the solar system (old series called In Search Of, had Leonard Nimoy ), about far in the future the solar system ending and our sun fizzling out. Somehow got the idea this would happen in 2000. Half believed it for years.
