What are some dumb things you believed as a kid?

I just thought of this question when I was drinking milk and remember the fact that when I was a kid, I used to think milk was just another form of water and if you drank milk and water together you'd get poisoned lmao.

Literally no one told me this is the worst part, a product of my own stupidity

I Thought That Loving Myself Was A Sin Of Pride And Said I Hate Myself As A Kid Because .God Or Whateva

As a Gen Xer in my late teens, early 20s, we all knew that we would be the first generation in ages not to 'do better' than our parents success-wise.

But I naively thought we could do as well or better than our parents (young adults in the post WWII economy) if we just worked as hard as our grandparents (young adults in the great depression).

Quickly learned the system was already rigged against all of us. 

I thought that the actors also died in real life after they died in the movie/TV show haha

I thought rain was god's piss

Idk if it counts but I tried to move my open window with the Force like in Star Wars. I didn't think it would work but I thought I might as well give it a try cause you never know 

@Cipao This one is the funniest lol

i thought avril lavigne was my aunt in a wig. like genuinely i thought she was pulling a hannah montana. didnt tell a soul btw i wanted to keep her secret ／(x~x)＼

I genuinely thought that the more exhaust tips a car had, the faster it was

Around kindergarten age I believed that birthdays were on a different date every year. I don't think anyone said anything to lead me to this conclusion, it just seemed logical at the time. I literally thought my birthday would be on a new random day every year.

I was genuinely convinced as a kid that meat came from trees and that burning wood would transform it into cooked meat. Whenever my parents had a barbecue, they would use wood to start the fire for the grill, and some time later the wood and the fire would disappear and perfectly cooked meat would just pop up there. 

I believed in a god that would save me

I thought because my mom produced milk, my dad had chocolate milk and I had orange juice ._.

that my mom had eyes on the back of her head because how tf did she always know

when i was little i was CONVINCED all boys have green eyes and all girls have blue because thats how it was in my family. i guess i forgot brown eyes exist

omg when i was a kid i used to believe if you ate watermelon and the seeds, a watermelon would grow inside of you and you'd turn into 1 😭😭

I thought my grandma was lady gaga becuase I had a  white half sister and she called her gaga and I guess that's what white people call their grandparents sometimes I guess but I didn't know or understand why she was called gaga but then I was on YouTube once and I saw like a lady gaga music video and im sitting there like FUCK THATS MY GRANDMA!!!! for 4 years of my life I was convinced lady gaga was my grandmother

i thought that when a movie had a timeskip, they waited for the little kid to grow up before continuing to shoot the movie

I thought that the US was next to the UK...  I was a pretty dumb child tbh

the concept of animation didn't make any sense to me, so i thought that the characters were real people and that they just heavily edited them and gave them eye contacts to make their eyes bigger.
