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 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.
i used to think they spoke french in britain
When I was very young, I used to believe that the civilized world as we knew it began in 2000 and that everyone just spawned in with set starting ages, with birthyears being arbitrarily assigned to people to make sense of "the age thing"
Like I really thought that RNG fucked me over and made me younger than so many people when I could have simply been "born" older lmao Christ
As a kid, I believed the human tongue was a long rope of muscle that wound down in a spiral to the center of your body (probably where the intestines were irl). Plus I didn’t know how blood circulated through the body so I thought our organs were just soaking in oceans of human blood.
For some reason I thought the older your account was on Youtube, the more subscribers you SHOULD logically have, regardless of what you post. I thought this just should be reality. I used to be SO mad DanTDM had more subscribers than me because my first Youtube channel is slightly older than his, IIRC. I did not watch him much as a little child in part due to my frustration. I definitely watched at least one other popular channel that was newer than my own so I have no clue WHY I singled him out specifically.
Love this thread. Love the things we believed as a kid.
I had to on purposely roll down the stairs in every new house I moved in either for good luck or to keep my streak. Which is why when people fall down stairs in movies for a long while, I didn't understand how it could be so horrible. I've done it like 7 times. (It was actually because I was clumsy and had parents that cared for me and thank goodness none of those staircases were dangerous.)
I read a book about the solar system and there was a page where it said the sun was gonna blow up. I cried to my mom because it made me so sad. She had to calm me down and say that it's not gonna happen in a million gorillion years. Then she told me to go back to sleep 😆
I measured my growth as a human being by measuring how much of the checkout counter or receptionist's desks I could see. I remember jumping to see what the cashier scanned or peeking what the receptionist was doing. Then at some point I was tall enough to see the surface. I was happy because I was growing older :)
I watched Toy Story. Need I say more lol
idk my brother once told me if you ate whipped cream by itself you would contract cancer and i still believed it until i was like 9 and caught him eating it by itself. i then realized he lied just so he could have it to himself

This guy knows his stuff
My dad told me shell pasta was real shells and that we dredged them up from the seafloor and killed the critters inside. This was right before we had a soup with hsell pasta in it so my mom quickly put a stop to that lol .
that the cold gave me diarrhea
As a kid I thought that once you became an adult that you lost your original name and got an “adult name” bc my stupid peanut brain couldn’t comprehend someone my age named “Steve” or “Karen”
