As you get older, you begin to realize that children are the most innocent and naïve characters to walk the earth. Children say and believe the craziest things, and at one point, you believed some of the world's biggest fallacies too. Here are 15 things you once believed as a kid (and maybe still believe in as an adult!)
1. If you ate carrots, you would have great eyesight
We *see* right through your lies now, parents.
2. Your favorite stuffed animal came to life when you weren't around or looking
I think I speak for all of us when I say I'm glad that's not true.
3. Your face would freeze in place if you kept making that face
Nice try, mom.
4. If you didn't see it, it didn't happen
Meaning: if I pull the covers over my head then nothing can get me. Whatever it is that is lurking in your room suddenly disappeared.
5. If you swallow any type of seed, that fruit would grow in your stomach
I once swallowed a watermelon seed and a watermelon did not grow inside of me. True story.
6. If you pull the drain while sitting in the bathtub, you'll swirl down with the rest of the water
There was nothing more intimidating than the whirlwind suction sound of water going down the pipes.
7. If you bought a pair of new shoes, you'd run faster or jump higher
This belief obviously doesn't apply to new high heels.
8. We all believed in Santa/Tooth Fairy/Easter Bunny as some point...
Maybe you still do.
9. The moon was made up of cheese
What kind of cheese? I'm not sure. But somehow a billion pounds of it ended up in the sky.
10. There are people behind the alleys that set the pins back up when you're bowling
That sounds like a lot of work now that I think about it.
11. Chocolate milk comes from brown cows
Wrong. Chocolate milk comes from the heavens.
12. The presidential race was an actual race...
The presidential race is totally similar to The Amazing Race or a triathlon. Totally.
13. Smoke stacks from factories were actually cloud factories
Little did we know that the smoke stacks were taking away from our environment as opposed to contributing.
14. "You are what you eat"
I'm currently a tater tot then.
15. There was someone that controlled the stoplights in the boxes that sit on the corners of intersections
How do they do it??? It's on a timer? Oh. Childhood ruined.
