Everyone Has A "Yikes, I Was A Dumb Kid" Story, But These Are Next-Level Embarrassing (25 Pics)

Objectively, kids know next to nothing.

Which is fair, considering they haven’t been around long enough to learn anything, but it’s still painfully embarrassing when you’re an adult and you look back on what obvious lies you told, or dumb facts you believed (ahem, Santa).

Here are some of the funniest adults confessing what stupid things they believed as kids. Or just the dumbest things they ever did.

Once when I was like 9 I went to a Mexican restaurant and there was a hole in my tortilla. For some reason the most logical thing for me to do was just cry. Now my entire family bullies me relentlessly every time they see a tortilla.

When I was 12 I tried to cheat at poker by pulling some cards out of a nearby deck when nobody was looking. I grabbed 3 kings and put them in my hand, discreetly hiding the cards I was replacing. So then there I was, holding out my 5 cards: 3 with red backs, 2 with blue backs.
