Lots more stupid things here > Stupid Things You Thought When You Were A Kid

Oh! I almost forgot. One REALLY bizarre thing I thought as a child was that I could converse with God - but ONLY if I was in my closet with the door closed. I have no idea where that thought came from, I don't know of anything on TV that led me to believe that...just some weird, weird, weird thing I decided was true. I also thought you could tell Santa Claus what you wanted for Christmas doing the same thing.

Holy crap your dad was young wasn't he?? :eek: :rofl:

Did you go to confession? I can see how that would have placed the idea in your mind, kneeling in the confessional telling the priest about your sins, would have seemed almost like talking to The Big Guy...

I believed all cats were girls and all dogs were boys.

If you held a model globe and tilted it around a bit, tiny little people fell off.

That the reconstructions on Crimewatch were the actual crime taking place and why didn't they catch them instead of filming them.

After seeing one of the early Superman films, I used to think if you believed 100% that you could fly, you could fly. I used to sometimes close my eyes and say to myself; ''you can fly'' then have a run up and try to fly off. It never worked.

Not so much stuff I believed but Burning Down wanted to know how I know what it's like to lick a battery which I guess I assumed was common knowledge so thought I'd put out an informal survey.

Have you ever put your tongue across the terminals of a 9V battery?

I did that today to see if it still had juice. It doesn't hurt, and has a very definitive taste. Needless to say, my stud finder was faulty.

Of course!

Forgive my off topic remark here, but I am compelled to point out that people didn't evolve from monkeys. Humans, monkeys and apes share a common ancestor.

BTW a 9 volt battery is actually six AAAA batteries in an encasement. Take one apart sometime....
