A continuation from Stickid's original topic about it - viewtopic.php?f=23&t=83809

When I was little I used to think that:

- when 2 people were kissing, the woman would get pregnant ( I had no idea what sex was );
- milk powder was made by throwing a cow from a plane ( based off a silly joke back then );
- if the fridge was thawing we were too poor to eat anything;
- killing a fly is a sin.

Post your childhood misconceptions below.

-Little people lived inside speakers, playing the instruments to whatever song you wanted to listen to.
-Yellow traffic lights meant that you were driving too fast.
-Your body has a limited amount of blood, which is why you should be REALLY careful not to cut yourself and spill some. After a few years, I changed to thinking that your heart generates blood.

I only found out about two months ago that Draco's second name from Harry Potter was Malfoy...and not Malfboy. Childhood, ruined ):

I remember playing Pokemon Red/Blue as a kid, and when the super nerd in Mt Moon says "I found these fossils, they're both mine!", I thought he meant that they were mines, and going to blow up and I shouted at the gameboy "NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR BATTLING WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!". I also thought Oak's parcel was Oak's pencil...wondered why I had to deliver a pencil...haha.

Another video related misconception! I had the original Sonic games on Sega Saturn and read the manual, and saw that Tails' name was "Myles 'Tails' Prower" or something, and read it as 'prowler'. So I thought he was on the prowl to stop Myles, who I concluded was Eggman. So for years I called him Myles.

I also thought if I put the sonic game in the CD player it would play out songs for each character, and in my mind, the songs went "My name is Sonic, Sonic, my name is Sonic, Sonic, my name is...SONIC" - To the theme of "I like to move it, move it". It was the same for every character q:

Ummm, I remember thinking if I drew over the same pen line hundreds of times, I'd have a wall of ink coming out of the paper haha. I can't think of any more right now.

- Pictures of my dad's childhood were black and white -> Colour didn't exist back then. (??)
- Everything I heard on the radio was live. So when I saw someone perform on MTV and heard the same person on the radio a couple of seconds later I was genuinely surprised.
- Electricity was generated by people running in threadmills, taking turns.
- Planting a worm in the ground will make it turn into a snake.

I'm pretty sure I was one fucked up kid, lol.

- Back in time, everything was black and white.
- Children came out of your ass.

I had to explain some guy when he was 13 years old, that getting semen in your mouth doesn't make your pregnant.

When I was little I thought little people were in traffic lights, changing it when they wanted. I also thought that girls had cooties (thumbsup) .

When I was little my dad told me that turning the hazard lights on in our car would make the passenger seat eject. Needless to say, I believed him. That button scared the fuck out of me for a few years.

The hand brake of the car was a pole that you would hit into the ground.

I used to think I had friends

I used to believe in god

I used to think there would never be any tragedies in my family

I used to think my dad loved me

I used to think my stepmother was a good person

I used to think people who do drugs are always bad people

I used to think I had a good life

I used to think my mother would survive cancer

Fuck this, I could write a 500 page book about all my childhood misconceptions.
