When I was a kid, I thought that...

Guitarists had to use a pick when playing electric guitar because the strings would electrocute you if touched by fingers.

Now you go.

When I was really tiny, I thought that photographs "stole" the moment in time that they captured, sorta like making it so it never existed, except on film.

I thought light-up sneakers were cool back then.

I thought:

-The weather forecasters made the weather
-You could ski on Saturn's rings
-My dog ran away
-Calculators were out to get me (I am NOT kidding on this one)

I thought that the ribbon on a bow went under the violin strings, so the bow was permanently attached to the instrument.

I thought that the word used for "a particular instance of something" was "pacific". I used this word on homework, essays, and the like for years before being corrected on it.

Re: When I was a kid, I thought that...

My family got a playstation in 1995, and it freaked the crap outta me. They were playing wipe out in first person. And I was afraid to play, scared I might get trapped in the game.

I stuck with my Sonic 2 on Genesis for a good few months before I tried the playstation.

I was an easily frightened six year old.

I thought that sex was a messy, painful, and unnecessary experience. Why would anyone want to do that gross stuff? Wouldn't it hurt the girl?

Re: When I was a kid, I thought that...

When I was a kid, I wanted to be left-handed, so I wrote my name on a piece of paper, and then went and lied to my dad, saying I wrote it with the opposite hand that I actually did.

Turns out, this made him think that I was right-handed, since I actually was left-handed but didn't know which hand was which.

Re: When I was a kid, I thought that...

I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew love before I left my nursery, huh
Left alone with big fat fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me
Hey hey!

I thought my backyard was Canada.

I used to think black-and-white films were that way because the real world was without colour until the 1950's-60's.

I thought that I had to say sorry to God every time I said a swear! :-D
