What are the dumbest things you believed as a child??

Question

I used to wet up my moms house try to kill flies. I believed that if you wet a flies wings they would be too heavy for him to lift when he flies. If they were heavy he couldnt fly giving me a chance to kill him.

I didn't understand the word VIRGIN. I thought if you were AVIRGIN then you hadn't engaged in sex. I thought if you were VIRGIN you did have sex.

I dunno I think those are pretty silly. So what's your story???

Or weird thing did u eat?? I used to eat match heads burned or not. I have a friend who used to eat baby powder. Not just straight out of the container, it had to be after you sprinkled it and it was floating in the air. She would hold her mouth open and take it in.

I dunno maybe we're just weirdo's.

Answer 1

We had an old black and white T.V. in the basement and when it was turned it off a white "star" would go the the center of the screen... my brothers and I use to call it the "star of God" and darn near prayed to the T.V. every time we turned it off. Then we would have to run upstairs screaming and find something green to touch (that's what kept the "downstairs monsters" at bay... amazing that we made it through our childhoods!

Answer 2

good question! properly, one time I observed an orange that had a boom on one area, and someone idea it appeared type of like a turtle so that they were promoting it. At that factor that they had about 3 bids, are you able to've faith it?! yet yet again I observed a guy promoting a jar of sand "from the Bermuda triangle". i'm no longer even constructive if there are any islands in the Bermuda triangle, yet that's no longer the point...the sand might want to be from actually everywhere! some each individual is so loopy...yet in case you imagine about it, possibly they're merely wise because they recognize that some stupid individual available is truly going to purchase their junk!

Answer 3

i believed a story my uncle told me that a man with a horse head long teeth human boby and a fork coming out of his belly would get me if i go outside when it's dark without a grown up.

i believed that if i believed so hard i would fly, but i proved myself wrong after jumping off the roof.

i believed that a horsefly was a horse with wings like an angel so i said a horsefly was God's transport.

i used to eat dirt just as rain began to fall , the earth had an aroma that i just wanted to eat the sand.

if i crossed my eye and a fly landed on it my eyes would remain crossed forever.

Answer 4

My mother used to tell me if I sniffed when I have a cold instead of blowing it out into a tissue it would go up to my brain and I'd get dumb.
So I learned to blow my nose..

I used to tell my little brother that he was adopted and that my mom got him from an Alien. I had the whole story down and repeated it perfectly everytime he asked me. And whenever he did anything different I would tell him that it was becasue he was an alien. Example: my brother writes right-handed but he is naturally left hander. So I used this as proof that he was an alien...
I don't know when he stopped believing me and started joining the joke with me (he's 20 now) .. but I still do it today whenever he does anything weird.

Answer 5

When I was in second grade I thought we got girls pregnant by sticking our fingers in their belly-buttons.

I also thought presidents were smarter than the rest of us.

That second one was really dumb.

I once ate a napkin because I was hungry and it looked good. I was too ashamed to tell the nuns I forgot my lunch money. I was afraid they'd either take up a collection or beat me, maybe both.

This may be where I got the belly-button idea, too. Some other dumb kid at St. Boniface probably told me that.

Answer 6

When a child my older sisters said that if you ate a watermelon seed you would have watermelons growing out your ears. If my older sisters said it, it must of been true right?
My oldest sister thought teaching me to curse was so cute, boy did she get in loads of trouble for that!
I do not no about eating things, I no I always shared everything I ate with my dog though.....Do not remember if that dog even ate dog food back then lol!

Answer 7

Well, my brother and I were born on the same day, but a year apart. I thought that all siblings had the same birthday. I never really ate anything strange, but I used to feed my brother ants. He liked them on Fritos.

Answer 8

Eating spiderwebs will make me become like spiderman LMAO!!! Yeah. My fellow kids did that. We used to catch spiders and make them kill each other on a thin stick.

Answer 9

My brother told me donut holes were poisonous, so I would eat around the donut hole and leave a little "donut circle"! He also told me if I swallowed watermelon seeds a watermelon would grow out of my butt (I think a lot of kids still believe that...?).

Answer 10

When I was very young I wanted to grow up and become a giraffe. Then when I figured out I couldn't do that I wanted to grow up and become a trapeze artist.
I ended up becoming a teacher...still wish I could be a giraffe, though, lol.
