People Tweet The Most Ridiculous Things They Thought When They Were Younger

We are all super curious when we are young. The world is full of mysteries and unless somebody explains something to us very early on, we often make our own conclusions. Since children tend to have unlimited imaginations, such conclusions can get very creative. The only unfortunate part is that we may begin to develop our own facts that have no substance, kind of like politicians. Then when we're adults we get to re-learn the things that once seemed so clear to us. It's just one of the many fun parts of growing up.

If your imagination also used to run wild when you were a child, you might find many of these Tweets relatable. Perhaps it will inspire many of you to get in touch with your inner child, or perhaps it will make you feel better about growing up so you can actually do the things you never could've done when you were younger.

    Font - Kristen Arnett ... @Kristen_Arnett what's something extremely bizarre you believed as a very young child? i definitely thought that any cheese that had holes in it was caused by mice who lived inside it 2:50 AM - 12/20/20 · Twitter for iPhone 461 Retweets 1,625 Quote Tweets 12.9K Likes

    Twitter user @Kristen_Arnett asked people to share the bizarre things they actually believed when they were young children. She starts off of course by sharing her own 'less-than-true' fact.

    I can totally see where she got that from. I'm sure you can find a million cartoons that have mice and cheese together. Why wouldn't the little holes be created by even littl-er mice? Sounds legit to me.

    Rectangle - Sophie Vershbow @sver... · 12/20/20 Replying to @Kristen_Arnett I thought sex (specifically to make a baby) took all night. Like, 10pm-7am. O 32 O 742 Show replies

    I'm not sure where this one came from. It kind of makes sex seems like more of a chore, which is low-key hilarious. Usually, the bizarre things kids believe about sex are more about how babies are made, and less about the actual schedule of intercourse. But, let's just hope that Sophie's future partner can really last all night.

It only seemed natural for me to wear an Alyssatard. I believed you just named it after yourself for much longer than I can admit O 17 27 19 1,369 Show replies

    Font - CJ's Goldfish @Jocelyn_... · 12/20/20 Replying to @Kristen_Arnett ... Used to sit in the tub as a small child & pat the top of the water. I could feel that, so I knew it was there, but when I put my hand under the (warm) water, I couldn't feel it in the same way so was puzzled about whether it existed or not. I thought water was just a skin on top Q2 272 O 210 Show replies
