I thought a condom was a magic talisman that prevented pregnancy. I didn't really consider what mechanism a condom would use to achieve that goal, I just heard the repeated phrase that "condoms prevent pregnancy" or "you need a condom to have sex and avoid pregnancy". In that vague sense, it was easy to think of a condom as a machine or talisman or article of clothing or whatever, without being at all aware of the details. Kind of like somebody who doesn't exactly know what a carburetor is but they know they need one to drive a car.

When I said that I didn't realize that you needed to use multiple disposable condoms and I thought you could just repeatedly use the same one, my conversation partner was disgusted.

I thought when you watched movies, it was all live and happening in real time. I used to feel bad for playing my favorite movies over and over again cause I thought I was making the actors work too hard.

so as a very small child (and i don't know why i thought this), i thought there were two types of carnivorous animals: cats including lions, tigers etc. and dogs including wolves etc. this system worked for quite a while until i found out that bears are carnivorous too and desperately tried to fit them into my system as well. i couldn't figure out if i should place them in the cat or the dog category. lol.
i struggled in silence with this for months

Lmao.

For me, it was either thinking people age backwards at a certain point in time, so I looked forward to being able to eat my hot dogs without buns again, or thinking human widows were only widows because they ate their husbands, like the spider.

I thought my grandma was a wolf, because she told me so many tales about wolves, one day I questioned maybe she was a wolf herself, especially with her deep set hazel eyes.

Later found out she told me wolf tales because I was into scary tales and the only way I was sleeping with her was if she told me those stories 😂

Got a couple. My grandfather was ornery. Told me "make sure not to eat any of those watermelon seeds or they'll start growing, out your ears & nose". I was mortified for weeks & checking in the mirror for any green sprouts.

My Grandfather also liked to go to the tavern on weekends, always after work & I remember Grams raising he'll about Grandpa "going to see those floozies at the bar". Not sure how I got the idea, tv maybe, but I always assumed floozies were those Vegas dancers that kick their legs up in the air. I believed this for years.

I thought if you accidentally swallow a seed it would grow in you. I swallowed an orange seed by mistake. My older ones messed with me telling me it would grow in me and I cried a lot thinking an orange tree would grow out of my head. Thank God my aunt came and debunked their mean teasing.

Not weird but the biggest disappointment in life is not that Santa Clause is not real because he is. It is that ALL families are just as screwed up as yours! We grow up think OMG I must have the most screwed up family! And then slowly we realize all those families we thought had their shit together is just as bad!
