When I was about 8 my friends moved into a new house. I was amazed that he had a water fountain in his bathroom and proceeded to help myself to a drink from it.
Turns out it was a bidet!!!

Well I used to think babies were made by the man passing one of his balls, which I took to be eggs, into the woman, and that the ball developed into a baby. From there I inferred that I was going to have two kids when I got older.

I’m not kidding but way back when I first started doing my own grocery shopping and they asked “Paper or plastic?” I thought they meant would I pay with cash or credit card.
I’d always say paper,give them the money then ask them for a plastic bag after they’d already started to put my groceries in a paper bag. I don’t remember but I’m sure they must have looked at me funny.
This went on for probably close to a year!
This thread can be for anything like this. Even song lyrics you misunderstood.

When I was really young, I thought babies came from the hospital, and if a woman was a good patient, the hospital gave her a baby to take home. I thought my brother was just such a gift when my mom went into the hospital for a “stomach operation”.
To this day I still have not tasted the “Super Salad”
One day…

This is close to how it was explained to me in 1st grade from a 2nd grader. As far as I know it is completely true.
when i was about 6 or 7 i thought that once you reached 100 counting you’d get to 109 and then you’d be at 200
this ment i was making some amazing mistakes in math until my teacher explained it to me.
when i was little i used to think the store The Wiz was a giant warehouse filled with urinals. (they’re actually an electronic store) When my dad used to say he was going to the wiz i would always think to myself “but dad, we have a perfectly fine bathroom right here” but never said anything because i was pretty sure i was wrong.

When I was a kid I lived in England and me and a buddy thought that to be President of the USA you needed to be a millionaire.
We also thought that it must be very hard to find enough people who could be the President because we thought there certainly couldn’t be that many millionaires…even in America.
With this thread I started I’m realizing what an idiot I am.
Only a couple of yrs ago the band the Kaiser Cheifs released a song â??I predict a riotâ?? â?? but with their broad scottish accent I thought the lyric was â??I could have Tourettesâ?? â?? and often thought at concerts the crowd should automatically start swearing.
My friends mom once had us grab a couple leaves. She put them in water, and told us she was going to boil them and come back later. We did, and she showed us how they were now apples! For years I thought leaves boiled into apples. I felt so stupid when I found out.
When I was 7 I asked my dad (an engineer) how much money he made at work. He told me $20/day. For career day the school janitor said he made $45k/year. Whenever people asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up I said janitor. I also was really frugal.
I used to use the word “justify” and “contradict” interchangeably until I was 14. Made for some pretty poor essays.
It took me until I was like 10 or 11 to understand what a week was. Even then I had to piece it together myself that it was when all of the days repeated again.

you do need to be a millionaire to be President of the United States
I used to read the ‘s’ in the word “island” when I was a kid, even though I knew island as a word - I thought it would have been spelt differently.
As a kid I had to get a shot, and the doc told me I was going to get it in the cheek.
I imagined this as quite painful, and tried to cover up my face.
The actual depth of the vow “for better or for worse”
