Tumblr Thread: Those Weird and Specific Childhood Beliefs

Childhood was an interesting time. The world really felt limitless and full of color. And we believed just about everything that we were told. The moans coming from upstairs when your dad is out? Sounds like a ghost that's afraid of your dad. The car that pulled up to your house right when your dad left? Sounds like someone likes your dad's parking spot, but didn't want to bother him. Good thing we had Ron to tell us about all that stuff.

Let there be no confusion over the fact that kids are stupid. But at the same time, we only believed those stupid things because adults told us those wrong things as jokes, or they didn't know themselves. And at least there's some kind of logic to them, even if they're completely flawed. As a result, there are people out there who didn't realize painfully obvious things for far too long. Well, there's always time for learning.
