Silly things you thought as a child?

That working hard would get you far and people were genuinely kind.

That reversing the sun's reflection on itself would ultimately cause it to explode, and thus destroy all life.

I had surgery when I was younger and had to be put under. I remember that someone that I thought was a landscaper pulled up in a golf cart to take me to my mother's car . He kept speaking in Spanish, and I had to tell him that "I wasn't trying to be racist, but I can't understand him.". He was driving kind of fast, and I was swaying back and forth. It was pretty fun. Especially since I was pretty high from the anesthetic. I also remember getting a call on my cellphone and telling the person on the other end that I was to messed up to talk. Years later I realized that all of this was a hallucination. I didn't even own a cellphone. Also, I'm a medic. Knowing a good deal about patient transport, I still didn't catch on to this. Hell, even the phone in this hallucination was the phone I ended up getting later on in life. So I have a question for you.............. WHO WAS PHONE? True story. I also thought that the teachers lived in the school, and that the world was black and white too.

I thought that when I was dead, I'd walk around as a skeleton and do stuff....

Igenuinely believed that there are 32 days in December. 32nd of December is the new years day. The thing is that my sarcastic grandfather made me believe it! If granpa says its true, then it must be!

My friend was told that 9/11 happened because the planes had too much fuel, which weighed them down as they were trying to fly

Cops are your friends good guys always win

Life would get better as your get older. I found out Life does when you reflect your past but not when your heading to the future.

Being grown up would be easy.

My first one will be long, skip that one if you may like: Religion and almost anything of that matter. Now don't write me off as a bigot; I grew up in a Mormon family. We are well respected by that community and even had the key to the church before we turned it in. We just didn't go to our ward anymore. I often asked my dad when I was young if I could visit other churches and he brought me to them. He has his own beliefs, and views all religion as flawed in almost all aspects. He just believes in being a good person, and that he will serve God, of any religion, when he dies. The only thing he is sure of is that there is a Christian-like God. I believe in some form of deity, but I also believe that believing in any established religion or cult is illogical. Christianity is by no means accurate in any way. I am not an atheist, I'm hardly agnostic, but I pity anyone who follows a single religion. I think religion, for the most part, is fools play. I respect religions in the fact that everyone has their rights, but I have no respect for what they are. With all this knowledge, how could someone? I often change my mind on this subject, but it's always like that. I actually never believed in the black and white thing because we had a cheap camera that processed colorless images before we had TV or a VCR. I never believed in the rock thing either, I always considered them lava rocks, but animal planet and the discovery channel and my love of nature books corrected that. Honestly I was a very blunt and serious child. I am far sillier nowadays. I did everything by my own logic. I'm just as selfish now, for only a few people would I ever act selflessly for, but I was just generally more serious. I didn't have the same ideas or quips or whatever as a child. Not that my imagination was lacking, it just belonged to my writing and drawing. Santa. Again ruined at an early age. Same goes for the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy. Thos are the only three I ever believed in.

That girls have cooties [spoiler]but girls actually do have cooties I hope everyone got their cootie shot[/spoiler]

Me thought Covenant would be adventure, with lots of warm places to go. Me used to think other races that breathe different air had methane on their world, and thought if you make fire their world burn. Me know methane bad mix with air. Me used to think big blue Unggoy would creep up to you at night and give you blue death. To keep him away you had to make fire.

That Dinosaurs lived outside my window at night...

Babies came from belly buttons

That the monsters in my imagination were the only thing to be scared of. And the outside world we call reality was harmless.
