Dumb things you did/thought as a kid

[MVboy39]

Similarly, 'hate' (when directed to a person) was about the worst thing you could say in our house when I was a kid.

"Fool" was the f-word when I was a kid.

There was also the time I went to a national park/swamp in SC with my parents. I can imitate a baby alligator yelp preeeetty well imo, and so as a kid I'd sit by the water's edge and try to call one of the adult gators over.

Turns out it worked better than it thought I would.

I was sneaking around in my parents' room and I found a condom. I didn't know what it was at the time. So I wore it on my foot like a latex sock.

I used to think that directions like north and south were relative, as in whatever direction I was facing was north. I think I was in fourth grade when I realized I was wrong.

When I was a kid I played Sonic 1 & 2 on sega genesis and actually thought they were good games.

 

[Zink Imp]

Not really dumb but pretty funny...

When I was a young kid, I used to think that only women could be doctors...not men.
This was because when I went to the pediatrician, the entire staff there was just women.

I thought Cars worked like they did in racing games or GTA. I would think one pedal accelerate and the other would be the break/reverse. I thought this until I started learning how to drive so like 14.

I believed that my dad was the best person ever. Those were quite the dark times...

I shop lifted a lot when I was teenager, got caught too.

 

[oZzIIgk]

I thought that all food grew in nature. I wanted to be a pizza farmer so badly.

 

[JayTheUnseen]

Just about everything I did.

 

[MrFilibrawler]

Don't tug on wires and expect anything good to come out of it... those box ends hurt like hell when they fall from 15 feet.

My older brother got caught on walmart stealing burning cd's. I was like 10 so my mom took me to mcdonalds. My dad was taking to the officer lucky my brother was 17 still a under age at the time.

I used to think that France and Paris were two different countries.

Ehhh, what else did I do?

There was this one time when these "Warriors" books were popular in my school. These books were about wild house cats and how they fought over territory, food and etc. things. Everyone in my class read these books and we all thought they were awesome with the insane violence in them. Eventually, we all had the smart idea of reenacting the violence in the books at recess. When we did reenact that violence, we did it in a huge twenty-minute brawl. Many kids ended up with ripped clothes, scratches, bruises and bite marks all over the body. After that brawl, my class had lost recess privileges for three months.

That second one reminds me of my elementary school days. Since Pokémon was pretty much a huge thing at my time, my friends and I would occasionally pretend to be Pokémon and use their moves against others, usually by gestures. Fighting-type moves were the ones to be dreaded; you could actually pull the move off. I do recall getting hit in the face, or more specifically, the nose, by one. I'm not sure which move it was though.

I thought there were only 151 Pokémon that you could catch, and the rest were exclusive to the anime despite it being like 2005 at the time.
