I didn't know "bed bugs" were actually real. I just thought it was some folk tale parents would tell their kids like the tooth fairy or the sandman or the boogeyman I believed this up until I was 13 or 14 years old when some kid came to school and one supposedly crawled out of her book

I thought Britney actually filmed Oops in mars.

Once confused organism and orgasm, which the adults got a hoot out of and also that if I used the toilet at night it would attempt to eat me.

I thought sex was just when people laid together in bed & kissed until I saw the Freddy vs. Jason movie

I thought that everybody on the TV were literal mini robots performing 24/7 behind the screen

I honestly don't remember ever thinking anything weird like that when I was younger. My 10 year old brother, however, thinks that everything played on TV is live.

since old photos were always in black and white i used to think the world was once in black and white. i remember asking my mom when everything changed to color. i was around like maybe 4 or 5? idk. whenever i could like speak speak.

I thought teachers lived and slept in their classrooms

Thinking that the pool drain would snatch me if I swam over it I still lowkey think this

I thought women just spontaneously got pregnant (w/ no assistance needed from a male).

Also, I thought "being fired" meant your boss literally set you on fire.

I used to think everything used to be in black and white. And honestly I still kind of do. Like I know it wasn't, obviously. But whenever I think of like the Great Depression, it's always in black and white. It's just so hard to imagine the early 1900's in colour for some reason.

I used to think that everyone on TV died the moment you switched off the TV

Mom dad used to think I was just addicted to TV but I was really crying when they used to close it because I thought I was responsible

I also used to think that cats were girls, dogs were men. The cartoon CatDog was educational for me in a few ways

I had no clue what a vagina was, like I knew there was a difference in genitalia between me and my female friends but I didn't really "get" it, I assumed they had like a belly button type thing down there that they pee'd out of

I thought cats were girls and dogs were men too, lol it just still seems that way

omg peeing out of a belly button

I didn't know women had vaginas and just assumed they peed and gave birth from their anus.

My mom loves watching black and white movies so I watched them with her. I always thought that people saw in black and white back then. I just couldnt understand that people saw colors and just the cameras couldnt pick them up
