On my first trip to Medieval Times (the one restaurant where you can watch a jousting show while eating old-style food) when I was nine, I thought the knights were really stabbing and killing eachother and therefore thought it must be quite a dangerous (not to mention suicidal o.o) job.
And then they all came back at the end and I was like "huh what"
A childhood belief about people

others believed things like this
- until I was thirteen I used to believe that "homocide" was two homosexuals killing eachother. Anon
- I thought i had to chew my food 27 times before i could swallow because Stephanie said it on Full HouseAnon
- Llamas not Lemmings were suicidal!Anon
- Before I learned about the existence of stuntmen, I used to believe that suicidal actors were used.— JC
- I was told when I was little that eating too much salt on your food would "dry up your blood".Anon
- I thought my age started at 4, because I couldn't recall any mention of my age before.Anon
