hmm and I can't remember if I fell for the whole stork delivers the babies but I'm pretty sure I did.
If my parents told me something it was 100% correct.. that was a mistake.. I never wanted to spend the night at a friends house because my parents would "DO IT" and I didn’t want to have a brother or sister, so if I was always around them I would be in the clear.. I thought that the people on TV could see me just like I could see them, so I would never watch TV without all my clothes on.. I thought if someone/something ever tried to come get me in bed my sheets would protect me because I thought they were bullet proof. I thought that boys had to poke a hole in their nuts to get a girl pregnant. I thought Nike Airs would help me fly. I thought that 100.00 was enough money to live off of FOREVER! I thought if I cut off a finger it would grow back ahhh the good ole days...
I thought if i swallowed watermelon seeds, they would grow in my stomach. I thought if i drank orange juice and then some milk after, I could make yogurt in my belly.
I thought Mikey really died from soda and pop rocks. I thought you would get money if you were caught on candid camera. I thought if you used a lot of toilet paper each time you wiped your butt, you wouldn't need to wash your hands.
when i used to go to the ditch as a young boy with friends, i thought if you slipped on the concrete where the water empties from the sewer hole opening into the ditch(where algae would grow)...you would slip into the drainage area and die being attacked by snakes and drown. so, there were several "incidents" where several of us slipped and we would have to rescue ourselves. in actuality, the water was about 2 feet deep and the snakes were few and far between. i got busted sneaking onto an Astroworld church trip when I wasn't a church member and i assumed someone else's identity. well, we got busted at Astroworld as someone recognized i was not who i said i was and i thought i was going to jail. lol my first stint in basketball as a very young person...i got the playbook but i never fully connected how the plays were called versus what were in the book. so, whenever they ran a play and i was out there...i ran around and did not know what i was supposed to do(at the center position no less;i faked it). it wasn't until later that i put 2 and 2 together to figure out...oh...this means this play was called. stupid is as stupid does...i guess. in football, i never bothered to learn the playbook and faked it every play on defense and offensive line. I just hit whomever on the other side. i was too busy "rebelling against the world" to learn the playbook.
I thought playing with fire would make you wet the bed. I thought the bumps on the shoulder of the freeway were there to keep people from driving there and that cops and firemen had special tires that would let them drive over them.
I thought females had a third hole down there where the babies came out of. I think a good idea for a thread would be, something about the things your parents told you to keep you from doing something, but as you got older you realized they weren't true. Like touching a baby bird. .....which reminds me of Myth Busters, is there a new season coming on? I haven't seen that show in forever.
why did so many ppl think cats were female and dogs were male? was it on some cartoon or something? i never heard or thought of this before. just curious. my brother once told me if i ate toothpaste, i would die and freaked out!
is this referencing the "touch a baby bird and the mother will not accept it into the family any more"? ditto. that ditch stuff scared me too, yet i was intrigued by it.
I used to sing along to the radio in the backseat of the car. I (lip)sang my heart out, thinking that people in neighboring cars would think I was actually the one on the radio singing. I even sang along to girls'. My girlfriend says that she used to do a pose when a car passed her as she was walking down the street, thinking they would think she was a statue. The wierd thing is that I was thinking of starting this same exact thread.
I'll also second the watermelon theory. Also, a group of us kids dug a huuuge hole when we lived in florida, thinking that we would eventually get to China. The hole ended up being about 4 feet deep and 3 feet wide. Lastly, after The Truman Show came out, (when I was probably 10 or 11), I thought that my life was a tv show. I began wondering whether or not my family was actually actors, and if people could see me when I took a shower.
Oh, I thought that well before the Truman show came out. Also, am I the only one who was confused with the "SAVE 15 CENTS" coupons when I was a child? I kept thinking to myself "how in the hell are they going to know I saved the 15 cents???" "Uh, here you go clerk. This dollar here? I saved it for two weeks. I'll take six of those little Debbie's now, thank you very much."
What happened? did you try to drink your urine, too? ...I mean, did you try to drink your urine like a friend of mine did? When I was young, I thought girls knew how hot they were. Turns out they usually lack more confidence than guys. I also believed that in "I dream of Jeanie" the guy would finally get some sense and wish for some sex (or the childhood equivalent, see her boobies and get married).
When I first came to this country as a young lad, I used to to see the PED XING signs and think to my self, I don't know who this PED XING fellow is, but he sure done something great for the Americans to put up his Chinese name every where.
I thought girls also had penises until a very realistic game of "house" (God Bless Cable TV) when I was around the age of 5 Coincidently this was also the last time I got any form of action. Anyway, I heard she has a couple kids now. Surprise. wowz0r I am pathetic.
