I used to think that when you swore, a beep would come out because the government was watching and they would cover it up just like on TV lol

When I was in elementary school, my grandmother told me that if I showed my middle finger to anyone it means that I hated God. So one day I saw a kid on the bus hold up his middle finger. I said to my friend, "he hates God." She was confused.

I said "Cheeses!" in front of nuns n they askd me to repeat the word so I repeat it and said its Cheeses as in the cheese we eat.
After a few years I came to realize that it was really Jesus! instead of Cheeses!.

I'm thinking I was 3 or 4, maybe 5 at the outmost, but I thought the word "fart" refered to something that looked like a purple kangaroo. I knew about passing gas, but just didn't know that that's what the word "fart" meant.

When I was younger, I was playing with a friend who wanted to tell me a secret. She asked me to swear that I wouldn't tell anyone. I replied that I wasn't allowed to swear.

When I was about 10, I got my first tiny tiny tv in my room. Me and a friend were watching it one morning and it was the Jerry Springer Show and we were hooked! (I know! It was bad to watch that junk so young). After we saw like 5 episodes we would tie our shirts up all slutty and say every cuss word there was because we seriously thought it was cool. But we never did it in front of anyone but the two of us!

i used to think that by saying "shut up" in school the principal would call the cops and then have you arrested. apparently one day there was a gas leak in my neighborhood and i said shut up in school earlier that day so when the cops came to evacuate us i thought he was coming after me.

I used to believe that if you spelled the swear words, it wasn't the same as saying them. I assumed it "didn't count". But just to make sure, I hid under my bed when I said them.

When I was about 4 and in pre-school, I didn't know how to say "truck" and would say it as "fuck." Well, every Friday my grandpop would pick me up from school and I would stay at my grandparents house for the weekend. Everytime it was dismissal and everyone would go outside to go home, I would see my grandpop's truck and yell excitedly, "Papa's fuck! Papa's fuck!" Everyone would CRACK up. I mean, I didn't know any better. And better yet, my grandpop had those roll-up handles to close the windows and since I a little too young to operate those rolling handles, instead of saying something like, "close the truck's window" I would say "Fuck the window."

Kids will be kids!

I used to believe around age four that if I were to say a bad word in my mind (think it) that my parents would magically find out and punish me for it.
