Stupid stuff you believed as a kid

- I was told that head medication had to go down to your toes and then to your head to take effect. I doubt it works like this but I believed them then.

- I believed that if you wore a tuxedo, you would be considered famous.

- I believed that kissing created babies. For some reason I thought they would share spit and then a baby would form in the belly.

You mean that's not true?

I thought that "cow tipping" was slang for doing drugs. When I found out it was literally tipping cows, it felt like Christmas morning.

I thought it was showing monetary appreciation for a cow performing their job well.

i used to think that when someone died, their body was deflated to a point where it could be folded up like a towel, which was put in a cardboard box, and then they were buried.

i also used to think that the water tower a block away from my school was the CN Tower, because it looked to me like the tallest building on the planet.

I used to wonder why they couldn't just wait till everyone --- everyone --- in the IRA met in that one shed they always met in to plan their bombings and then drop a bomb on them! Simple solution!

I also always wondered when the USS Enterprise was ever going to get to that planet Boldlego they kept mentioning in the credits --- "To boldly go where no man has gone before!" Sure Kirk, when you gonna get there?

I was a stupid child, something I thankfully did not fully grow out of.

Up until age 22 I thought cat milk (from the store in the carton) was made by mamma cats hooked up to sucking machines (one sucker per nipple).
Until age 15 I believed dogs got pregnant by ejaculate that seeps through the female's back into her belly where then puppies form.

Cat milk?

^Yes it is a treat for any age kitty(ies) and the most common brand I've seen is in a purple carton. . . It is actually made of whey protein powder I believe, although they say not to feed them cow's milk, but goat's milk instead for easier digestion.

I can't say you were an unreasonable kid for believing that something named cat milk, specifically for cats, was actually cat milk... Most of us would probably have drawn the same conclusion.

You don't cross into stupid kid beliefs territory until you believe pee is what impregnates a woman.
