I could never figure out how Adam and Eve lived at the same time as dinosaurs. Even way back then I realised something was up.

If you walked into a reflection in the water you would be teleported to that place.

Lol in primary school this guys older brother told us that a blowjob was when a girl puts a straw up you arse and blows. We all believed him. Sounded logical at that age especially cause we used the word jobbie for poo back then.

lol you better not watch any tv then :P should see the crap they have on it the now

heard the word jobbie also for poo though never really used that word lol

I used to think school inset days were called insect days and the reason why we didn't go in was possibly because of invasion of giant insects

i used to think as a child that running around the streets in just shoes and pants wasn't a fashion faux pas.

That's what I used to think, and it worried me that when a pregnant woman went to the toilet the baby could accidentally fall out.

My mum actually told me this when I was little and presumably asked about it. I don't think she wanted to introduce more "advanced" concepts at such an age.

I thought the proper words for a vagina was a victoria, and a penis was a pendis.

And babies came out of womens bellybuttons.

Whe we got our first cat the RSPCA man said she was a "Queen Cat" (meaning she hadn't been spayed). For years I thought it meant she was some kind of cat royalty and could tell other cats what to do.

I also thought that "concetration camps" were places where people were made to concentrate really hard, doing difficult sums and so forth...

When I was very young I used to think the street cleaners were going to eat me and I was petrified every time I saw one

me too...i used to say like when we had a hard day in school, "it was like a concentration camp!" thinking it just meant somewhere you did hard work. OOPS.

i used to be afraid of the loud noise public toilets made when you flushed them, so i never did. don't think i flushed a public toilet till i was like 13 tbh. even at school, just went in, did my thing, walked out of cublicle. however i never did a number 2 in public, minus one time, so it's not like i was leaving anything too scary lol

i used to think Michael Jordan was my uncle's brother. i have a cousin who's a year older than me and we grew up together, and she was always making up ridiculous stories and i always believed them because i idolised her

i used to think beanie babies were a worthy investment lol.
