nezzyjean Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 [quote name='sakurasuka'][font="arial"][size="1"] There was a Disney movie, I currently can't remember which, where the evil villianess pulls off her false eyelashes. I always thought that if I tugged on the ends of my realy eyelashes that they would come off in one continuous line. [/size][/font][/QUOTE] Medusa, from The Rescuers. I thought that there was a crocodile living under my bed when I was little. I propped a long wooden board against my bed and used it as a ramp to climb into it every night to avoid being eaten.

Raiha Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 [COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Due to my mother kicking me out of the bathroom to get some 'privacy' I thought that another word for tampons was 'privacy' until around the puberty age. I used to believe that hippos were gentle peaceful creatures who loved me and wanted to be friends. This might be due to the fact that I used to have a little stuffed pink hippo plushie that contained a little music box that played the 'You are my sunshine' song. I once pronounced 'hors d'oeuvres' as 'hour devours.'[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopscotchEyelid Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 In 6th Grade, during an Advanced Studies test, too see if I should be in it, I was asked what the word "Fragrance" meant, and I replied by saying "Just the surroundings." Needless to say, I scored high in everything....other than common sense(general knowledge, what I call information, not knowledge), and for that I didn't get to do Advanced Studies. That was horrible. I also was a very strong follower of what I now consider the worst cognitive bias. The "Just World Bias," which pretty much says that anything that happens does so for a good reason because the world is right. It's called a bias, because such is false. Of course, being a kid you're likely to see through filtered eyes, but I still look back on that with a frown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabberwocky Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 [FONT="Palatino Linotype"]When I was young I used to think women were too pure to go #2. When I was young used to think we were all immortal and didn't die, then when I found out we die I cried for hours. A few years ago I told myself I'd always be straight... things can change awfully fast. When I was young I thought cartoons were real things, I don't know why but I did.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
