What’s the most stupid thing you believed as a kid?

Lmao... so... in Rocky 4, when I was a kid, there’s a training montage showing Rocky, and his Soviet opponent Ivan Drago, preparing for their upcoming fight. The scene is meant to juxtapose Drago’s fancy training in a high-tech facility against Rocky, who is off training in a cabin in the snowy Russian wilderness. They show Drago doing some sort of an exercise on a machine with a whole team of experts around, while Rocky is doing rudimentary versions of the same exercise using whatever his two trainers could get their hands on.

Anyway, Drago has all these electrodes hooked up to him and giving readings on computers, super scientific. I was maybe like 8 years old when I saw it, and I thought the whole scene was meant to reveal not that Drago was an elite athlete with elite training, but rather that he was secretly a robot, that’s why he was such a dominant boxer😂They even show him getting shot up with steroids, and I remember thinking it was oil being injected into him lmfao, I really missed the point with all that🤦‍♂️

I believed that I am directly related to the king of the spirits (not from some entertainment piece, to "real one") and that he came to visit me in my house one time and that his subordinates directly participated in my life.

The most funny thing is I can't just say it was just a thinking even now, though simultaneously I see how stupid it was.

This isn't that stupid, but I think it's cute and sort of charming...

My dad was going for a walk at night with my sister (she was a few years old, ~ 6ish), and he is a real naturalist and knows about the outdoors and stuff. They got to talking about the stars (not really an area of interest or expertise for him, but still connected to the natural world), and looked up at the moon, and he told her it was God. She believed him for apparently quite some time.
(They are both agnostics, fyi.)

I believed that the Apartment on top our local Funeral Home was where all the deceased went to and I thought that it was Heaven and Jesus was up there back in the 70's the Funeral Home had these wooden steps that went from the bottom up into the Apartment and it looked like it would be Heaven. Yes, kids have some amazing imagination for sure. On Christmas eve I got stomach pains cause I was nervous about Santa Claus coming and I remember going to the bathroom in the middle of the night my mom told me to go back to sleep cause Santa Claus was over at the Neighbors girls house and headed to our house wow I got scared and went back to bed.

I genuinely believed that people mostly had logical reasons for doing the things that they did. I reasoned that if I treated someone well, then they would be incentivized to do the same for me. Oh boy, was I ever wrong. It turns out that 95% of the way people treat you is a reflection of how they feel about themselves; it has very little to do with the way you treat them. I still believe in treating people well though, I just don't hope for them to do the same back to me anymore.

That, it is actually possible to live with a decapitated head.

I don't know why but as I kid I used to watch a lot of horror movies. I believed that those victims that lost their head in the movie were just actors without a head and they were using fake heads instead.

My head was so messed up back then and up until now I guess.
