I used to think that sharks used their dorsal fins to slash holes in boats so they sank.
I thought pregnancy comes from being married.
I thought that babies come out from the asshole rather than the vagina.
I thought that I was special.

I thought my dick was actually just my foreskin and the actual penis part was a battery, so I asked my parents why we didn't have to recharge the battery in my penis all the time
Thanks to the War on Drugs and the whole Just Say No bullshit of the 80s, I was scared of drugs before I even knew what they were or why anyone would take them (or even that they were a thing you took). Nobody explains to 10-year-olds what pot and crack are, so I thought it was some kind of sentient malevolent force acting behind the chemicals or something, like as if drugs were a conduit for Satan.
Like, you'd just be walking down the street alone, and suddenly drugs would jump out and attack you. Not a drug dealer trying to get you hooked, [I]the concept of drugs itself would assault you[/I] and you'd come home all fucked up and try and burn the house down or something. It sounds retarded but I had like 0 information so how the hell was I supposed to have any idea how that shit worked?
Meanwhile, fast forward to now, I self-medicate with pot daily and I'm better off than when I was on prescription medication. Take that, Nancy.
When I was a kid, I always thought that if a house didn't have a fireplace, Santa would kick the doors down like a badass and stick them back up with superglue.
[sp]I still think this now.[/sp]
My brother convinced me I was an only child.
I thought chicken fingers were made from chicken feet
I thought the world used to be in black in white from watching old black&white TV shows
I used to think babies just pop out of nowhere
I thought nigger meant loud American and was a reference to the sound of an automatic rifle. I also thought brown people pooped white.
I was scared of black people, mostly because I lived in a very white place in Spain and it was just not a common sight :v:

Oh shit, you just reminded me of the first time I said "nigger" out loud. I had [I]no[/I] idea what it meant. Racism was an utterly foreign concept to me and I didn't understand that people could be hated for their skin colour.
I said it in front of two friends who, unknown to me, were half-white and half-black with a black dad, and who had suffered verbal harrassment from racists. They immediately ran to their grandma (who was the adult around the house at the time) and she wasn't pleased, and I had no idea what I did wrong.
When I was a kid I was naive as shit, lmao
I thought Spiderman was real.
I thought that woman were impregnated by DNA transferring through their body when they kiss their groom at their wedding
if i mispelled Jesus at school, I'd be killed by God.
i was really religious back then
I thought puking was an inevitable thing, like some trash-sack within the body filled up and eventually you just had to puke. I would get so worried when I hadn't thrown up in a while cause I wondered 'oh shit, it could hit at any moment'
I used to think shadow the hedgehog was a good game.
Thought I was adopted, sometimes I still think I might be.
I thought I'd get somewhere in life.
When I was like 5-7 years old, I didn't quite understand the whole religion thing and seeing as I had trouble remembering the terms katholic and evangelic, I just went with Jew, the only religious name I could remember and told everyone who asked, even my teachers when they sorted us into the two christian classes that I was a jew.
I shortly after learned, that I was a katholic Christian
When I watched movies again, I thought they could change. I would always hope Woody wouldn't knock Buzz out of the window in Toy Story.
I used to be pathologically afraid of snowmen, as I thought that they were actual living beings that were born every winter and died every summer.
I thought short circuit meant the wires were short.
I used to think that black people were black because they spend alot of time under the sun and were very tanned.

Before 1st grade I used to think girls had dicks too
I thought I had the force but had to concentrate really hard to use it, because a door moved one day.
I thought my whole family was perfect and incapable of wrongdoing.
already posted this in the confession thread like a week ago, but i thought the bell end was loosely attached to the dick by the foreskin and if i pulled the skin back all the way it would fall off
One of the kids on my block was Indian.
"Mom, when did Rohan move to America?"
"What? He was born here, he didn't move here."
"Oh. Then why isn't he white?"
It was then I learned that, no, the country you're born in doesn't dictate your skin color.

One day, my dad showed me Blazing Saddles. I figured that the word was just a synonym for "black person" with no deeper meaning.
I recited that "The sheriffs a n-" joke at dinner later that night because I thought it was so funny.
We were having dinner at a fancy restaurant.
And yet all my dad said was something like "shh, you shouldn't say that joke so loudly, we're in a restaurant". I thought he just meant that I was being too loud. (Thinking back, he looked pretty frantic at the time.)
It took several more weeks until a friend told me "no dude that's a bad word" for me to learn what it actually was.
