Your childhood misconceptions

[frankiej]

I never really had any strange beliefs as a kid. I was a very down to Earth child. I have no idea what happened... or how I turned out like this.

My brother and I are pretty much opposites. He was a crazy kid and then calmed as he got older, but I went the other way.

I can't really remember my childhood, or at least, not any parts that are suitable for sharing here.

When I was 3 and lived in Florida for awhile, I told my mother the waves were made by a giant electric fan.

Didn't you also have some weird ideas about a big man that lived in the sky?

(sorry, couldn't resist)

I thought that manchester the city near me was Ireland, and that when i got the train to Manchester I was going over the ocean to get there.

I thought that stars were as big as a playground.

I didn't know girls had vaginas for ages, i thought they just had nothing there and it was flesh.

I thought people lived forever unless they were murdered. Until i head the lyrics of puff the magic dragon that says dragons never die then i asked my mum whats so special about that because everyone does then she told me they don't

I used to think that covering myself up to my head in my blanket at night would protect me from that monsters and killers that were out to get me.

You do know that this is a scientific fact, don't you?

When it's dark and I'm alone, I totally believe this to be true.

Ok. This will sound really weird, but it is true and it happens to alot of children especialy from my and previous generations.

I found a box and various things in a cupord belonging to my grandpa, grandma, greatgrandma and several granduncles, they included several "things" including the infamous "Gott ist mit uns" belt knuckle and other such stuff.

Not realising what that is, I started painting swastikas at various places including school.

I was about 7.

My teachers contacted my parents and told me to stop, yet I didnt know why. I was simply told that these signs were evil.

I would be 13 - 14 when I finaly figured out what that stuff meant.

I used to think girls had dicks. I'm so glad I was wrong.
