Banned deucer.
i've seen similar threads like this on other forums, but I don't think it's been done here. so tell me smogon, what weird things did you believe as a kid?

personally, I used to believe the moon followed me while I was in a car.
 
I used to believe that when someone died in a movie / show, they had also died irl. Don't ask me why, I just did.
 
I used to believe that when 2 people were having sex they just stand up naked close together and somehow the girl got a baby in her stomach.
 
I used to think smoke stacks were how clouds were made

and then I realized they were actually killing the clouds

are.eye.pee
 
I used to believe that in the GSC games, if you beat Red 10 times, he would get mad and blow up Mt. Silver. If you returned after that, you would find Mew in the ruins and could catch it. Someone told me at school, seriously believed it.

Oh, and please tell me I'm not the only one that for a while wondered how those little people got inside the TV. I think my uncle might have told me as a joke, but I remember thinking they were really in there for a while.
 
I used to believe that if you waved at a helicopter that was overhead, they would throw you down a packet of chips and a Gatorade. I believed this for the longest time despite them never actually doing so, in spite my constant friendly waves :/
 
if you got too close to power boxes you'd get electrocuted

this led to my family putting duct tape over the little "ELECTROCUTION WARNING" sticker on the power box in my yard until i'd resumed traveling within a 10 yard radius of the thing
 
I used to think that the whole earth was a pea (as in, the vegetable) in a much larger world, which got moved in and out of a freezer to change the seasons. This much larger world was also a pea inside a much much larger world, and so on and so on

oh my god this absolutely must become a children's book
 
Right before I learned about the birds and the bees properly I knew that babies came from their mom's stomache and they were put there by sperm coming from the dad's penis putting itself into the egg in the mom's womb. But I thought men came by excreting sperm from their entire penis. Like a sea cucumber.
 
You know those babyphones you can use to check on your kids while you're in another room? My parents used to tell me I could use it to communicate with my new brother, while my mother was pregnant. I would go to another room, and my mom would talk into the babyphone with a weird voice, and I believed it was my new brother. It's amazing how I fell for it.
 
you know how you're driving on a really hot day and you see the way ahead of you looking hazy/wiggly from the sun? i used to think i had super powers and i could predict where rain fell and left puddles that the sun dried up and turned into that haze.

my dad scared me that if i didn't step off escalators correctly i would get sucked into them

sometimes i was afraid that i would never ever be able to fall asleep some nights and i would try and stay awake and pin point the exact moment i fell asleep, only to wake up 8 hours later and be like "i missed it!! i'll try again tonight"

i believed that stupid thumb-removal trick for a while, it looked so real!!
 
I was literally the dumbest child.
I'm gonna have to think back to remember all the things I used to believe, but this one takes the cake: I'd be talking to my dad, and then he'd say "May, go see if I'm in the bedroom." And then I went and looked for him. When I couldn't find him, I'd go back to him and tell him that he wasn't there.
tl;dr i was an idiot
 
If you beat the Elite Four 100 times in Crystal, you get to catch Pikablu.

Which definitely wasn't Marill.

i also thought rock types were immune to electricity FUCK YOU ANIME
 
I must have been a pretty smart kid, the following is literally the only thing i can think of for this topic:

When I learned about sex, I didn't realize that the dick keeps going in and out, I just thought the guy puts it in then cums and then sex is over. Gives new meaning to the whole idea that men only last a few minutes...
