When I saw Rocky 4, I thought the point of the whole training montage scene was to show that Rocky was human, and Ivan Drago was secretly a Soviet robot, and not human, because Rocky is doing all these rudimentary versions of exercises using rando items he can access, and they’re doing all this high-tech lab shit with Drago. He had all the electrodes on him, I thought those were some kind of wire, and when they shot him up with steroids, I thought that was oil, lmfao.

I was actually a really smart little kid, but I definitely was missing the point that time. Incredibly fucking stupid, looking back on it🤣🤣🤣

I have a few. But one of my most memorable one was, my mom recalling to my Sunday school teacher, about how she told me to pray to God to pass the test, and I prayed and failed. And my mom asked me, "Did you study?" I said, "NO"

The Sunday school teacher stated laughing and said, "Like God was supposed to help me, where was he?"😂

Sticking with the study team, that putting a text book under my pillow at night will transfer it's contents into my brain😂

Now my mom wonders why I have a hard time focusing on studying and just wing everything

my grandma told me a story about a girl who was whispering to the stars at night, and when the night was on the other side of the globe, the stars were whispering to her friend who lived there...

I was whispering to the stars... hoping that someone will whisper back :D

I love stargazing and still sometimes whisper to the stars :D

I used to believe that if I swallowed a watermelon seed, a whole watermelon would grow in my stomach 😭😂 And omg, I also thought the moon and sun were following me whenever I traveled in a vehicle, like they were on some secret mission to watch over me 😭🤍...

Cormac995 · Answer

As a kid I thought God had an assembly line for souls that lined up in an orderly fashion. Literally I had this image of God having a soul factory made out of clouds that printed souls like license plate, and they got fired out of heaven into their body's when they were born like some kind of soul cannon.

College.

And also, I'm not sure if this counts, but I was told "don't talk to strangers" when I was little, maybe six years old. So how did I make sure not to talk to them? I'd ask someone at the grocery store or on the street "excuse me, mister. Are you a stranger?" And when they said "yes", I'd say "I'm not supposed to talk to you" and then run away.

Coffee stunts your growth. I was told this by my Godmother. I guess she was just trying to keep me from drinking her coffee lol it worked though I didn't drink coffee for a long time.

Babygirl_S · Answer

Currently I think about how I thought kissing a boy could make me pregnant. I watched some Bollywood films where the couple hugged and then had a baby. I thought that was how women got pregnant. How stupid! I even believed that as a teenager because my science teacher didn’t even tell me how sperms entered the body. Her reply to my curiosity “There must be a process” . I had to do some net surfing to find out at the age of 17 because even a dictionary definition didn’t clarify the concept. This was insane!

Anonymous · Answer

I have to go anonymous for this one, because it's way too embarrassing to admit publicly.

When I was little, like under 10 years old, I used to think that my testicles were where urine was stored. When my scrotum would hang, it meant they were full, and when my scrotum was tight, it meant it was empty.

I hadn't taken sex ed, yet, or been taught anatomy, so I couldn't conceive of this fleshy little pounch having any other practical purpose, and since it was right under my weiner, it just made sense to me. 🤦‍♂️

Hellraiser1984 · Answer

Jesus loves you! What complete crap! If he loved me he would have saved me from my as*hole father and his psycho family. He would have answered my prayer's to make parents get divorced. He would have defended me in school from the bullying and abuse from the teachers and students. Jesus loves no one just like his child murdering father. To be appeased for something that is entirely gods fault he conceived a son only to have him be brutally tortured and murdered. God didn't love Jesus at all. I'm for the abolishment of the abrahamic religions.

- That the men who collected the trash only worked one day a week.
- That the grocery store was a central point where all resources were distributed -- both food and cash. I believed this because we would go to the store and my mother would write a check and get cash back.

As for a penny if you throw it in a wishing well or fountain & you make a wish it’s supposed to come true. To be honest I think you have a better chance of getting hit by lightning on a submarine. On the other side of things inflation really killed wishing wells & nowadays I wouldn’t be surprised if there are credit card machines by fountains.

Anonymous · Answer

I wrote my 5's upside down. And you couldn't convince me that was wrong. Because in my rational mind the flat part of the number should be the base.

I don't remember when I finally relented and started writing my 5's normally.
