I used to believe gibberish was a real language from a country from gibberland

I thought that camouflage was actually "camelflage", and had something to do with camels!

Up until I was like 14 or so, I thought that everyone thought in English, even if they spoke other languages. I just couldn't wrap my mind around the idea of thinking in another language.

When I was young I used to believe that everybody on this planet was speaking the same language.
When I was five years old, I travelled in (La Réunion)(a french island) since everybody was speaking french I thought that french was the international language. Two month later I travelled to Paris and I asked someone what time was it and he didn't answer me. So I was surprised. And i thought he was being rude. After this I travelled to Portugal and before the travel my mom told me that Portuguesse people was speaking another language. I was speachless.

This is something my brother thought: when we were kids we once went on this camping trip to a lake with dad. At one point we saw this presentation about the history of the lake, and the person giving the presentation mentioned how the Native American tribe that once lived there had shamans that could put a curse on someone "through powers of suggestion". The next morning, I remember my brother was talking to my dad about it and he asked how you could put a curse on someone by "considering (???) something".

When I was in 3rd grade, we had this spelling test. One of the words we had was "beach" which I misspelled it as "bech". Shortly after turning it in, I started freaking out, since I thought "bech" might be how you spell "bitch" (as I'd only ever heard it that word out loud), and thus I spent most of the day terrified that I'd get in trouble for writing a swear word on my test.

I thought the expression "so funny I forgot to laugh" was literal instead of sarcastic

Not so funny after all

When I was little I thought a widow was someone who stares at you through a window
