What’s something you used to think as a kid that’s kinda weird?

I used to believe Saint Bernards came with whiskey from the cartoon I grew up watching.

Also when someone got fired they had face a firing squad or the flame thrower.

Technically, old school rescue dogs did carry a small amount of spirits for the explicit purpose of thinning the blood so that the effects of hypothermia will be lessened. And St Bernards moved great in the snow (before they were inbred to hell).


I used to genuinely believe in the idea of fairy dust and flight to the point that one day I got “fairy dust” in a bag labeled such just filled with glitter. I sprinkled some on my head, concentrated on happy thoughts, waited for my feet to lift off the ground so I could fly and… never did.

That all of your organs "went to sleep" when you went to sleep, LOL.

As a kid, I used to think the characters and scenes in animated movies existed in a separate world behind the TV screen that I couldn’t access. It felt like they lived in a secret universe, and I always daydreamed about jumping into their adventures and exploring that colorful, animated realm! 🌈📺

I had seizures when I was a child and before I became religious, I believed the seizures were me getting abducted by aliens and being sent into alien space ship.

After I became a christian I asked Jesus to drive away the seizures and my seizures were no longer painful.

I still got them, but they just felt like pointless vibrational impulses, not very painful or scary attacks anymore.

I thought that sanitation workers only worked one day a week, and that all wealth was distributed by grocery stores. But I was only 4 at the time. Later I thought all the adults around me were a bit stupid. I was mostly right about that.

as a middle schooler I always thought being an academic meant you have some illness, like being a diabetic

[Xawyx-2]

I thought that being a Santa Claus is a job (like postman, chimney sweeper, plumber etc).

As a kid, I thought a woman couldn't get pregnant unless she was married.
