I thought - smarties (the candy) actually made you smart - any factory that had clouds billowing out the top was a "cloud factory" - chocolate milk came from brown cows - the principal and vice-principal were married - every song on the radio was being played live - stuffed animals watched me while I slept (so I hid them under pillows and blankets before going to bed each night) - drugstores actually sold drugs (as in meth, cocaine, those kind of drugs)
And for some reason up until like 1st grade I legitimately thought England didn't exist.

weird crap the stupid young me 100% believed in
-how babies were made according to the young Redheart: the doctor plucked a bit of the mom's skin and a bit of the dad's skin from like their arm or something, fused it together in a Petri dish, put it in the mom somehow, and that's how babies were made. -Santa had 10 reindeer, he also had one named Rocket because I wanted him to have one -the Easter rabbit was named "Lux" -the alley cats of Chicago had a whole culture because I saw like,,, 2 of them once (given my comic this has not changed) -opera was A Cool Thing (again given my comic I still haven't fully snapped out of this one) -toys actually did come alive ala Toy Story when you left the room -every song on the radio was playing live at the studio - StarClan was real and I visited it in my dreams

- I grew up in a part of Florida where everyone had sprinklers in their front yard so I thought the reason it rained was because angels(?) had them on top of the clouds - bc of old b&w tv and movies, I thought that in the world didn't have any color/it hadn't been invented yet - thought the boogeyman was real and I was somewhat scared of him, but not as much for myself as because my dad was the one that told me he was real and that he was at our elderly family friend's house every night stealing his cigarettes which I thought was rude af

The choking signs in restaurants were instructions for the staff on how to kill people, the restaurant seats were stuffed with the bodies of victims The letter people were bombs, they could explode and kill us all at any second There was this space shuttle that burned up on re-entry, the news was all about it for a couple weeks--I thought it was a meteor coming to kill us like it did the dinosaurs Worms could eat you alive

- If you held your palms up for too long, your blood would pool under your fingernails and turn them red.
- If you looked up for too long, your eyes would get stuck like that.
- The sports dome a few towns away was the moon.
- I believed in Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy until I was eight, and yet I thought believing in God was silly when I was six...

- In a married couple, they have to be one year apart in age with the husband being the older one, and most likely will be from the same school. That's just how it happened with my parents and some aunts and uncles, so I assumed that was always the case. I remember looking at the boys in the grade above me and not being too thrilled at my prospects, lol. - On extremely gloomy, cloudy days I didn't realize that the sun was behind the clouds. I guess I never really thought about where it otherwise went.

oh right i also used to think the moon would follow the car that i was in and (we had a bunk bed + i slept on the lower bunk) i would... sprinkle the dust (possibly sawdust? idk) that was on the corners of my bed frame on my eyes because i thought it was the sandman's stuff that would make me fall asleep

I thought the radio one too
Also that just because someone really liked a celebrity that probably meant they also knew them. So I thought my mom used to go out with Tom Cruise, then dumped him later on for my biological father

You know those mirrors they have near the checkout part of a lot of grocery stores? Like, the ones near the ceiling, I think they're there so people can spot theft easier or something.
Anyways, as a kid I used to think that if I somehow was able to reach that mirror and go through it, I'd enter a parallel universe. Not sure where I got that idea from, to be honest.

- that if I didn't sleep with all my stuffed animals, the ones left out would be offended - that kicking the back of the seats helped the car go faster up a hill (honestly don't know how my parents put up with this) - stuffed animals came to life at night in order to protect you while you slept - that sleeping on the top bunk of a bunk bed automatically made you better than whoever was on the bottom

Pretty sure I thought I was part animal for a while because my mom always said I had "cat eyes" and I would meow at my cat in different tones I'd picked up from her and she'd respond. One time I made a certain sound while she was outside with another cat and wouldn't come in and she attacked the other cat and then ran inside lmao
Also that my stuffed animals had feelings, and I always tried really hard to convince myself that stuffed animals from "Santa" were magic and would protect me bc my parents were not nice people.

OOC Okay here we go.
I was like, five. My family lived right next to the mountains and so for some weird reason I thought that beyond the mountains was a beach where the sun and moon would go to rest when they weren't in the sky, and that on this beach, there were pink and purple polka dotted elephants and giraffes. Don't ask why, I legitimately don't know why little five year old me thought that.
Also my older sister told me that Ice cream sandwiches were made out of horse and I believed her. (She did this so she could eat mine too since I would refuse to eat meat)

I didn't know space existed. I just thought the sun, moon and stars were up where the clouds are. I also thought they were actually the size that we see them as in the sky. I didn't know I existed until one day I was playing in my yard and I realized, "I'm alive... woah." I also thought I was born the year I started school (2004) because that's when I first started being able to remember things good. Like I could remember a few things here and there, but not clear. And since I couldn't remember much of anything before 2004, I just assumed I wasn't alive yet even though I was born in 1999. I thought those big digging machines were dinosaurs Also this next one might be a little weird and tmi, so I'm putting it in spoilers. I thought that once you started your period, it never stopped and you would just bleed nonstop for the rest of your life. When my school talked to us about it, they just told us we would start one day. They didn't tell us it only lasted for a few days, only that you would start so I just assumed it lasted forever.
