Do you ever look back on your childhood and think to yourself…I was pretty dumb and believed a lot of really stupid things?
Hey, don’t feel so bad about it! We all did it to some degree!
And that’s why it’s good to reflect on those times when we’re older so we can have a few laughs about them. Let’s see what folks had to say about this.
1. Time to move…
To the Honey Moon.
I thought that all newlyweds permanently moved to the Honey Moon in outer space.

2. I wish this was true.
Lemme see that tree!
There was a Keebler factory near where zip grew up and I 100% thought the tree was inside that building.

3. He’s in there somewhere.
But be sure to toss them up there.
When I went to Bible school and they asked me to accept the Lord Jesus Christ into my heart as my personal savior, I was pretty sure that a tiny Jesus took up residence inside my ACTUAL HEART. I also thought I had to toss my prayers up toward heaven or they wouldn’t make it

4. Here on Sesame Street.
I like the second one, too!
That I would go to Sesame Street if I ate sesame seeds. Also that runaway truck ramps were magical portals for trucks to run away from home.

5. You may all depart now.
Only if your last name is Christie…
My subway stop when I was a kid happened to be Christie station so I thought everyone got off the subway at their last name

6. I did, too!
Oh, to be young again…
I thought that THE WORLD, pre 1960ish, actually *was black and white.
Like color didn’t exist in the world until, coincidentally, when tv shows started having color.— chillsatwillpodcast (@chillsatwillpo1) December 20, 2020
7. They were putting on a show for you.
Weren’t you special?!?!
Tiny little people lived inside the tv 😂

8. Those are the rules.
Are you better abide by them!
I thought only men were allowed to drink coffee because my dad drank coffee but my mom didn’t.

9. If only this were true…
Wouldn’t that be nice?
My brother thought if you swallowed the fortune in fortune cookies the fortune would come true. He ate a bunch.

10. Be careful out there.
You don’t want to fall off the planet, do you?
I thought the world must be square because sidewalks had corners. I mean, somewhere a sidewalk corner had to fall on the corner of the planet, right? Please note: I was VERY young. 😂

11. That is disappointing.
Too bad!
I believed that penguins were the size of people. Super disappointing to learn otherwise.

12. Just like Peter Pan.
It’s alive!
I legit thought my shadow was alive, like in Peter Pan. It used to terrify me I couldn’t get away from it. I thought all shadows were alive and if they “caught” you they’d replace you and then you’d be nothing but a shadow. The phrase “scared of your own shadow” was a warning…

Okay, friends, now we want to hear from you.
In the comments, sound off and tell us about the strange things that you believed when you were a kid.
Please and thank you!
