When I Was A Kid..

[Tsukuyomi]

I used to think ever house had a sack of rice laying in the corner of the room (or something like that) and that everyone ate rice ^^ I also thought that all housed required you to take off your shoes ^^

What.. I was only three or so when I made these deductions ^^

What strange things did you think up when you were a kid?

[KeybladeWarrior]

I used to think George Washing came right after Adam and Eve. I also had this urge to dress up as Batman when watching Batman the Animated Series when I was six.

[everdred12a]

Not quite, but close enough.

I thought that when you went into a store, you absolutely had to buy something or else they wouldn't let you leave. I also thought that when the sun peaks through the clouds at around five in the evening, it was God bringing all the dead people to heaven.

[Maledicte]

Wow, I believed the same things the OP believed as a kid. Asian home, eh?

I thought the word "naked" began with the letter K.
I thought that my grandpa snored. I know now that it's my grandmother who snores.
When it thundered during a storm, we all thought that it was God bowling.

Not quite what did I believe, but when I was around 3-4 I used to pronounce things without an "s", like "quare" or "nake," etc. My parents thought I had a speech impediment, but I didn't. I just didn't feel like saying the "s."

[AsianBlossom]

Hm...let's see...

My dad pulled this little prank on me when I was about five and my brother was two or so. Once, when he had the video camera, he noticed the battery light come on, so he said, "Uh-oh, battery." I looked up at him with wide eyes. "Battery...battery...battery...OH NO, QUICK! Run to your rooms! Battery's going dead!" and I ran off to my room. My brother followed just because I was running. You see, I was under the impression (from what my dad said) that when the battery goes dead, it explodes. Made me wonder why he didn't throw the camera to avoid getting injured...

There's more (and plenty that my brother thought about the world), but I'll write it later.

[yukoxholic]

When I was a kid I never thought I'd grow up...oh! the irony! XD

I also thought that if I didn't fall right to sleep on Christmas Eve night I wouldn't get any presents from Santa. Ever since hearing the lyrics in the song Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, "He knows when you've been sleeping. He knows when you're awake".... I wouldn't even get up to pee.

I also believed the tried and true if you swallow a watermelon seed you'd grow a watermelon inside your stomach.

Also, my sister got me to believe that if you swallow your gum whole it'll take 7 years to digest.

She also got me to believe that you could eat the wrapper for Cinnaburst gum.

Now, I realize after digesting 100 Cinnaburst wrappers that it's not wise to chew any gum wrappers of any kind and no, it does not take 7 years to digest swallowed gum.

She was evile back than!

And I can't think of any others at this moment.

[minakichan]

I used to believe that a woman HAD to go to the doctor if she wanted to have a baby. The doctor would cut open her stomach and give her treatments to make her pregnant. I guess the man never factored into the equation.

[Shao Feng-Li]

I would often look behind the TV when it was on, expecting to see... something XD

[Radical Dreamer]

I used to think that, once you were in high school, you could get pregnant just by being around the opposite sex. XD

I also thought that all women were right-handed, and all men were left-handed. This was because my mom and I used our right hands, and my dad and brother used their left hands. XD

Because of something my dad said once, I thought that the stalks on broccoli were poisonous.

When I went to Disney World for the first time (I was 7), I thought they called it "The Magic Kingdom" because the faucets in the bathroom were the automatic kind that turn on when you put your hands underneath. XD

[chibiphonebooth]

I also believed the tried and true if you swallow a watermelon seed you'd grow a watermelon inside your stomach.

i totally believed that.

and also when i was little, i thought artichoke hearts were actually rat hearts, cause of a joke my dad had said. i havent been able to eat artichokes since. (even though i know they are not rats)

[LadyRushia]

One time, my parents told me that they were gonna make me a T.V. dinner and I thought they were going to put me in the oven and eat me, XD.

[ChristianKitsune]

LOL

this one time, I thought I could fly and jumped off my parent's dresser... I knocked out my two front teeth..

I also thought that the thunderstomr was God bowling, and the Sun was his reading lamp XD

I thought that when I grew up, I could become anything I wanted to be, even a unicorn or a dragon.

My sisters and I would crawl on our hands and knees and pretend to be animals and make dens out of tables and chairs XD.

We had quite a few story lines going.

[Mr. SmartyPants]

I used to believe that rain was God urinating.

I also used to believe that God was taking a dump whenever it snowed.

[chibiphonebooth]

When I was a kid I ate four dozen eggs
Ev'ry morning to help me get large
And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs
So I'm roughly the size of a barge

[Chorus:] No one shoots like Gaston
Makes those beauts like Gaston
[LeFou:] Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston
[Gaston:] I use antlers in all of my decorating
[Chorus:] Say it again
Who's a man among men?
And then say it once more
Who's the hero next door?
Who's a super success?
Don't you know? Can't you guess?
Ask his fans and his five hangers-on
There's just one guy in town who's got all of it down
[LeFou:] And his name's G-A-S- T -
G-A-S-T - E -
G-A-S-T-O - oh!
[Chorus:] Gaston

[Sheenar]

I have a birthmark on my knee and my mom used to tell me that a roach bit me and made the mark. And I believed her.

[sharien chan]

I used to think that this plant I had, that whenever I said a certain phrase it would make money....because everytime I said the phrase, I'd run to the plant and there would be money!
I called it the money plant and was devastated when my grandma took it.
When my brother was little he thought my grandma actually had a dinosaur for a pet XDDD

[Fionn Fael]

I also believed the tried and true if you swallow a watermelon seed you'd grow a watermelon inside your stomach.

Also, my sister got me to believe that if you swallow your gum whole it'll take 7 years to digest.

i totally believed that.

Me too.

I thought that God was female for a while as a very young child. I also believed that your stomach was down low where your intestines are, and that when a woman had a baby, they always had to cut it out of her like a c-section.

[Gabriel 9.0]

I used to put oatmeal in one of my mother's VCRs.

[Hana Ryuuzaki]

[font="palatino Linotype"]I used to believe that freckles were angel's kisses, and wondered...
"Why would they do that?"

I also thought that an egg was a chicken's....droppings, and that we were going to be contaminated for eating them...[/font]

[Nami]

When I was little I used to play with my sisters and friends and we would pretend to be animals, we got on our all fours and crawled around making noises and only talking to each other.

Also I would make a den for myself out of the cushions from our couch along side the couch. (I still like those dens... I wish I had one of my own XD )

When I was little I was under the impression that cats didn't like their ears being touched.

I also though that Darth Vader was kinda cool because even though he was evil he still cared about his son. And that Yoda was a bad guy ROFL!

Oh yes and I thought that a none fertilized egg could still be hatched.

[Tsukuyomi]

Wow, I believed the same things the OP believed as a kid. Asian home, eh?

Heehee, guilty as charged ^^ I also thought everyone ate on the floor using like those tray thingies you put your food on ^^;

Hmmm, my mom told me that watermelon seed myth to ^^ I was so careful to not swallow one, but I did o.o

I also thought that God was bowling when it thundered ^^ Do you guys remember those cloud looking things that seem really long that extends forever? I used to think that was God laying down

[KhakiBlueSocks]

Also, my sister got me to believe that if you swallow your gum whole it'll take 7 years to digest.

You got off easy...my cousins said that the gum would stick to my ribs and I would die.

I was also frequently terrified by the above mentioned cousins telling me that the police were coming to arrest me. Now, I can use that same joke against them, because some of them have had run-ins with the law!

One time, I was in this store with my mom, and I was playing with this calculator on display, and I couldn't turn it off. I was so scared that the battery would run down on it, and I would have to get a job to pay for it! It didn't dawn on me that the stupid thing would have an AUTO OFF feature.

[chibiphonebooth]

when i was little, i believed that if you planted anything- that type of tree would grow.

so i tried planting some starbursts. it didnt work. :I

[EricTheFred]

I thought Vietnam was a place where countries sent their soldiers to fight each other. I suppose that was true in a way, but I thought that was literally the purpose of the place.

I also thought I would catch more fish if I sang to them. No idea where the idea came from, but I was certain it was working, so I kept singing.

[USSRGirl]

My strangest childhood ambition was when I was around four and declared my intent to marry a powdered donut. o.O;; So far, it hasn't happened yet.

Lol, awww, that was cute, Temmy xDD;

I used to think I could fall into the toilet and get sucked down it >_>;

XDD

[sharien chan]

When I was little my brother told me that this certain toothpaste (Rembrant) would kill anyone who was under 18. Of course he tells me this right after I use it, and I freaked out and ran downstairs to my mom who told me I was crazy....

[Tsukuyomi]

Lol, I have a weird one XDD

I remember one time. Someone through a tootsie roll onto one of our potted plants. When I went to pick it up.. a worm squirmed out of the wrapper o.o It made me think that's what Tootsie Rolls turned into if they were just laying around like that XDD I was like.. 3 or younger I think xDD;

[Etoh*the*Greato]

When I was four? I wanted my parents to adopt one of those kids from Africa on the television so I would have someone to be Winston Zedmore when I played Ghostbusters.
