What is the dumbest thing you believed as a child?

[Randy Parker]

Saw this on Facebook and thought it might be fun to try on BGP.

 

The dumbest thing I believed was that when you sent a fax, the paper somehow went through the wires and all the way to the fax recipient. How stupid is that? :lol2:

 

What's yours?

[UKMustangFan]

That being an adult was way more fun than being a kid....Boy did I miss the boat on that one! :lol2:

[StrongSide]

That the car wouldn't move unless I had my seatbelt buckled.

[BigVMan23]

That spaghetti was a plant that grew in the fields and you picked it.

[Bengal Maniac]

I believed all corn growing in the fields was roasting corn and how could all of that be eaten by people. There had to be lots of waste.

 

Also, something about going blind.

[TheDeuce]

Santa Clause.

 

Sorry, Randy.

[Randy Parker]

Santa Clause.

 

Sorry, Randy.

 

No apology needed. I hate that guy.

I believed that my dad was a garbage man because I saw him take it out when he left for work.

That I could dunk a basketball someday.:no:

When I was little one of my favorite songs was the Willie Nelson / Waylon Jennings duet "Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be Cowboys". However, the following lyrics was always confusing to me:

 

"Mamas' don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks

Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such"

 

I knew what a doctor did, and I knew what a lawyer did, just never could figure out what a such did. I never did ask, because I thought my parents would think I was an idiot. A few years later when it finally hit me, I was the one that thought I was an idiot.

This one is a little goofy. I had a plastic razor with a cardboard blade and "shaved" with my dad. He always had a spot or two of shaving cream left on his face before he toweled off, and I thought that he was missing some whiskers that he should've shaved off.

[Mack The Knife]

That someone fired a shot from the grassy knoll in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963...

[HammerTime]

Edit...

[nkypete]

That I could date Farrah Fawcett someday.

I've told my kids so many white lies over the years, I've forgotten them all. My adult daughter recently told me that for the longest time, she believed there were tiny people who worked inside of traffic lights because I sold her on that idea as a kid. I'm quite proud of that one.
