I used think a pilot attached a thousand invisible birds underneath an aeroplane and thought that was what gave aeroplanes their power of flight.

I used to think babies dropped from the sky, my imagination just couldn't process that they were withdrawn from an orifice as tiny as the [insert word].

I used to never want to watch horror movies with my uncles because I thought the zombies could come out of the television.

I used to think Michael Jackson was really a god, that he could indeed defy gravity [that super lean in Smooth Criminal] and that he could turn into a zombie at will [the dance choreography in Thriller]

I read a comic book where I learnt that Peter Parker became Spiderman because he was bitten by a spider. So I gathered about three spiders then put them on my wrist. Well, nothing happened. I guess I forgot the part that said, “was bitten by a radioactive spider”.

Silly me.

As a child, I thought flogging a boy with a broom stick would make Him impotent

No wonder my mum nearly flogged our maid to death after she beat my brother with a broomstick.

MsDelilah:

That's a different scenario nah

Would you like your maid to beat your kid with anything at all?

Being from a Christian house, my dad's name is Samson and he is tall. Having heard about the story of the mighty Samson, I used to think my Dad bearing Samson was a very strong man nobody could beat.So the feeling of safety and security by his side. Being taught about rapture by my father, I used to think all pastors were automatically candidates of heaven. Children have a different worldview hence we must go down to their level to get them.Jesus said he must be childlike to make heaven meaning having a forgiving, tender, humble heart like children but not to be childish

As a kid, i was made to believe that women gave birth through their anus...it was easy for me to believe since i thought the anus could exert enough force to push out a baby as against....
That idea disappeared along the line as i grew.

as a kid I used to tink that come judgement day, God would count every good thing I've done and every bad thing I've done, and I'd go to heaven if my good deeds outnumbered my bad deeds.

As a child, I thought the moon followed me everywhere I went to...

. hum I thought same too.

Mimzyy:


Lol, I practically 'watched the moon' follow me to school every week day. At a point, I made it a point of duty to say goodbye, see you in the afternoon 'moon'.

How did "the moon" manage that, did you go to school in the night? its practically impossible, to see the moon in the morning every day.

LaPresidente:

There is a reason i put 'moon' in quote.

my thought was that seeing one who is tall mean he/she eats alot of beans

maputohq:
As kids, lot of thoughts runs through our head which we find out to be absurd while we are grown. These thoughts are influenced on how we view things as kids and we end up creating funny theories based on our perception.
While I was younger (3-6 years), I was always coming up with theories and updating them when necessary. They were known to me alone some of which are:
1. i had thought macaroni causes the production of phlegm and so, causes the mouth to stink;
2. i had the view that children below 5 would return to become babies if they are allowed into the hospital ward. this was as a result of me being disallowed to go past the reception because i was "small";
3. in relation to number 2, i thought babies were manufactured in the hospital and being in the hospital they can never grow. i later updated my theory that women gets pregnant only when married; others
4. i can fly at the sound of trumpet;
5. food eaten drops to toe till it gets to the head;
6. the top of a mobstick are dreadlocks.
let's know yours.

As a kid, I thought wrestling was real
I also thought that good people always live happily ever after

RaeMystix:
Eating too much food meant the individual was going to have a baby.

Food grew in one's tummy.

I always thought that everything was moving when I was inside a car

Your childhood is somehow, you reasoned as someone that grew up in a sophisticated environment.

I be pako but was a reserved kid, no thanks to the way I was trained. I rather formulate my own theory than ask question.
