People Are Sharing Things They Believed As Kids And It ‘s Equally Hilarious And Horrifying

What ‘s something weird you thought as a kid?

I thought everyone had a different number of teeth.
They kept falling out and growing back, it seemed unreasonable to me we ‘d end up with the same amount.

And twitter took it away from there

i remember my best friend & i were walking to school when we were 7 and he told me that before we could become men we had to pee blood. we were both freaked out. he had apparently mixed up the gender stories. our parents straightened us out later that day.

Imagine rationing your blinks

I remember being told in kindergarten how many times a day we blinked and I thought that was like an alloted amount and would try and keep my eyes open as long as possible or take really long blinks to rest my eyes so I could ration out my blinks and not use them all

If this was the case and babies had a chance to see the world outside I don ‘t think they ‘d ever willingly leave

I thought babies could see through mommy ‘s belly button like a periscope.

Bodies are complicated but thankfully not this complicated

I thought there were millions of tiny tubes in our throats, one for each type of food or beverage. So, when someone choked a little when they swallowed something and said 'it went down the wrong pipe' it meant the Pepsi accidentally went down the 7up pipe.

Oh NO

I thought “Bimbo” was the actual term for the new wife of a widower. Someone asked my grandma if she'd be ok with Grandpa remarrying after she passed and she said “fine, but the bimbo isn't touching my jewelry”

This has horrifying ramifications

if you stayed in the bath for too long you would fully disintegrate into oatmeal

Like this

this is how my dad would get me out of the bath he would legit bring a bag of brown sugar and a giant wooden spoon into the bathroom and sit on the floor and say he was waiting for me to become oatmeal

It ‘s nice that one of the first things this person thought about as a child was MURDER

I thought everyone died via murder and I had no idea people died from old age or disease. I was told I said “I ‘m so lucky my parents haven ‘t been murdered yet ‘ to a teacher.

Spineless babies spiNELESS B A B I E S AHHHHHHHHHHH

I thought the reason babies couldn't stand up is because they were born without spines, and they didn't form until later on

The scariest part about this one is… they ‘re not wrong

I thought GOP stood for Group of Old People for an embarrassingly long time.
