“Not me, but when I was 10-ish I got my then 7-year-old brother to believe that he was the reason the TV kept fritzing out, I literally told him that he was bad luck and that he had to go to another room while I tried to fix it. He genuinely believed it, and today he still gives me flack for it.” –A-Ton-Of-Oreos

“When I was a little kid, I believed that when people got divorced, they had a divorce ceremony, like where they had to go to church and say, “I don’t,” and I imagined the woman wore a black divorce dress dress (like her wedding dress had been dyed black), and that everybody went to the reception where the ex-bride and ex-groom sat on opposite sides of the hall and there was a divorce cake where the bride and groom had their backs to each other with their arms angrily crossed. I eventually learned, from watching my mom’s soap operas, that this was not the case, and was kind of disappointed cuz I’d been to a few weddings by then, and was interested in what a divorce ceremony was like.” –ilovetab

“There was a bug which could bite you and leave freckles. When I was a kid, I got a bug bite on a freckle that I hadn’t noticed before, and assumed the bug did it. It took me until I was 14 or so to realize how little sense that made.” –fennelanddreams

“When I was very young my mother was one of those who would make up BS rather than tell me she didn’t know something.
As a result until education or common sense told me otherwise I believed:

Thunder is angels in heaven bowling.
-
The sky is blue because God knew it was my favorite color.
-
Brown cows give chocolate milk.
-
The local grocery store had chickens in the back laying eggs on demand.
-
Every person who wasn’t an immediate family member wants to kidnap and hurt me.
-
Smoking weed will kill you. (Bonus I found out many years later my mom was a hippie)
-
Girls pee out their butt. ” –FnordBear

“When I was a kid I used to think professional wrestling was real, and The Undertaker scared the living shit out of me during his whole Ministry of Darkness phase. I thought he actually was Satan’s minister or something. Like yeah, he’s an undead overlord of hell, here to bring an eternity of darkness and misery to this planet, but he also has to make a weekly television appearance to win a wrestling competition, and you can buy his action figure at Toys R Us.” –ghost0427
