That sounds like Orwell’s 1984!
I used to think that all tv’s ahd a tape in them and that every once in a while the TV man would come and change the tape on the tv!
When I was three, I thought the Scrubbing Bubbles were really going to come out of the can and race around the bathtub and sing and talk to me.
I made my cousin spray some in the bathtub and when nothing happened I started crying.
For some reason I also thought “silly” was the dirtiest word in the universe and I got really upset when people would say it.
I had it in my head that 12 was the age when it would be appropriate to kiss a boy for the first time.
I was really afraid of Vampires but I thought if I put OFF! on my neck they might not bite me because it tasted bad.

Sabrina, I as well was fascinated by the Scrubbing Bubbles and also remember being disappointed upon never seeing them live.
Speaking of the tub, I had a big fear probably after seeing some B-movie about it, that piranhas would swim up through the drain while I was in the tub.
This one will take you back. Remember that candy called Bonkers in the 80’s? They had this silly commerical with fruit falling on peoples heads…I guess it was full of fruity goodness. Well after seeing this commerical too many times from a young age, I made a five finger discount of this candy.
In my room I hid behind the door and laughed as I started to eat it, expecting fruit to rain down from the heavens. Probably about 5 at the time…
Dumbass.
LOL Chinadoll. Your sig should just be:
“… and intense pain shot through my entire body.”
When I was young, I thought how a woman got pregnant was when she kissed the man at the alter at their wedding. My first kiss was with my ‘girlfriend’ around 10 years old and I was so scared she was going to get pregnant. Funny when I think of that now.

Nah, I got lucky I guess ![]()
Couldn’t have supported a kid at 10.
Yea and also I used to tell other kids “My shoes are faster than yours” and yea I really did beleive that it was the shoes that made you run fast!
After seeing Ghostbusters (at least I think that was the movie), when I saw the green stuff come out of the bath-tub faucet, I was afraid to take a bath for years. I would stare at the thing the entire time, my heart racing, getting out as fast as I could.
Good times.

Thats GOLD!

My mom told me that vegetables will put hair on my chest,i didnt eat any vegetables and i still ended up a hairy mother.
used to think that a womans piss and shit came out of the same hole.Not a nice thought when u think about it ewww
was 2 scared to look under my bed after watching a scary movie thinking “freddie” was under there.hmmmm now that i think of it i still look at the roof waiting to hear a creaking noise like in the movie “the grudge” “lol”
Keep em coming guys and gals
HHH
When I was 5 or 6 I asked my mom how driving a car could make the world spin around if two people were driving in different directions.
Oh yea, and at about 10, I thought that piss got a girl pregnant. Whew! Good thing!
I tried to make a raisin by keeping a grape for a very long time in a shoebox.
I rubbed my head all over our TV screen (it was dusty) then jumped off a chair in an attempt to fly like Tinkerbelle.
For some reason I thought toothpaste would make good glue so I snuck into the bathroom, stole the toothpaste and tried gluing lots of things together with it (I remember the spanking that followed too)
Up until about age four I thought all adults were named John and Barb (my parent’s names).
My dad told me I could have 20 bowls of ice cream if I got stung by a bee so I spent the next three hours on our balcony hoping for a bee to fly by. It didn’t work and curiously enough I have never been stung to this day.

Chinadoll hon-that explosing between your legs really got me to reply-is there any way you can feel a mere mortal if he or she is trying to work their mojo there? Are there any scars on your body from all of the mayhem? I have about as many or more stories than you-but baby you have been T-mag since birth-as always you rock![/quote]
Hey Yorba!!!
Hehehe…no, no scars. Never even had a (documented) broken bone. Only scars are from martial arts, in the “olden” days, we had to punch and kick the canvas bag thousands of times a day, which opened up our skin, but it was a mind over matter issue. Just some barely visible scars on my knuckles and tops of my feet.
Yo~ why don’t you post some of yours???
More stupid things we did:
One day after seeing a TV movie about people stranded out at sea who survived by catching rain in containers and catching fish, I put a wooden bowl out in the rain. I drank the water that was caught in the bowl, some of which dripped off of our roof, and ended up with bad stomach cramps.
When we were really little, I remember asking my older brother what that was, and he explained to me that it was “my pee-pee, I make shee shee from my pee pee. Only boys have pee-pee’s. You don’t have a pee-pee because you’re a girl, and girls have just a butt.” One time later, we were fighting and I called him “stupid”, and to get revenge he taunted me, “Butt pee-er, butt pee-er!”
My faulty logic:
My balls = my bladder
Come on, I mean, my “weiner” was connected to my balls so that must be where the pee was stored (the fact that my sac never got bigger when I had to go or smaller when I went didn’t seem to bother me any)…
When my husband was a child his older brother convinced him that Duran Duran was a bad word.
So one day, at about 8 years old or so, my husband told his 16 yr old brother, “Duran Duran on you!”
My brother used to think he would grow up to be such a super cool rock star because he sang songs about soccer.
I used to think that things back in the 50’s and 60’s really were black and white.
