I used to believe that the sparklers that we played with before it got too dark made the fireworks that we watched later that night.

I believed that if you added yellow to green it became blue. I also believed that if you added even more yellow it would turn back to blue. I didn't realize this wasn't true until about 6 months ago

I used to think that if you had a notebook with a charecter on the front, you had to write about that charecter. (like if you had a winnie the pooh notebook, you had to write about winnie the pooh.)

When I was little, my father would take me out fishing. He use to tell me that if I talked, the fish could hear me and be scared away. To this day, when I go out fishing, I hardly say one word.
I played soccer in grade school and hated it. I asked my mother why I had to play to which she responded "it's the law." When I was about 14, one of my friends told me she had never played soccer when she was a kid. I asked her if her parents had gone to jail or just been given a fine. You can imagine the look of confusion on her face.

When I was around 3 my parents wanted to trick me into giving up my pacifier by planting them in the backyard so they would grow a pacifier tree. I planted them all and when I went back inside I fell to the ground and screamed " what did I do!!!" really nice parents

When a kid I thought people were calling a basketball backboard the blackboard. So I always called it the blackboard but it just didn't make sense to me. No one ever corrected me.

I used to believe that if I dug a hole big enough in beach sand, I would reach China and meet a China boy.

I just to think that if I was doing keepie uppies (Football thing...soccer that is), a scout will spot me and sign me up as a child sports star. This applied to where ever i was, back garden, park, school!!

When I was 5 I used to think the goal in football meant that the ball touched the goalpost. I would play this method for a long time.
My friend and I used toy shovels to dig in the school soccer field, convinced we would find gold there. We did it during every recess.
Once I went fishing with some guy and his daughter, I think he was a friend of my parents or something... Anyway, a fish stole my bait without getting hooked and the guy said "Oh, you got mugged".
Later after that I heard about people getting mugged and I thought that fish took their bait while fishing.

When i was little, I always watched television with my dolls. I used to believe that the dolls can speak to my favorite cartoon. So, before i turned on my television, i cried in front of my dolls, i hoped ,my dolls could flatter my favorite cartoon to came to my house.

I used to believe that the colors red and green loved each other and purple wanted to be with green and was jealous of red. Red and purple hated each other and I also hated purple because I was on red's side.

When I was about 4, my mother and I were shopping at Walmart when my eye caught a bag of Cotton in the Arts and Crafts section. I begged my mother to buy me this big bag of cotton, and she felt she could possibly use it in blanket or some other craft.
When we were loading the bags into van, I grabbed the bag of cotton and ripped it open, and quickly started putting the cotton in my mouth.
I was shocked and extremely disapointed to find out that it wasn't Cotton candy.
My mother gave me a strange look and I had lost my appetite for cotton candy.

When i was 6 my brother told me if i climb on a tree i will get cancer. So i told that to other kids in a neighborhood. He also told me if i ride a bike i will die. Bikes in our neighborhood also got very dusty ;)

When I was younger, I really loved this Loony Toons movie that had Michael Jordan in it. In the movie, the Loony Toons characters come together to form a basketball team. Lola Bunny was my favorite Loony Toon. So when I was little, I would steal my older brother's Bulls jersey and wear it around the house. I would ask 'Do i look like lola bunny?' and everyone would say 'No' but then i would scream because i thought i looked like her.

I used to think there was a crayon called "window color." Turns out there isn't.
Not the brightest crayon in the box
when I was younger, I used to think jet-ski,s ran on water.
I used to think that "joy riding" was when you tied a rope to the back of a car and hung on to it wearing roller skates while someone drove it up the motorway. It sounded fun!
