What was logical to you as a child?


I am sorry if my old logic offends anyone but this is what I thought when I was around 4-9 years old.

1.) Clouds are fluffy because they're made of cotton candy.
2.) You must be married and kiss in order to have a baby. I don't want to kiss girls.
3.) You can only marry people who are the same color as you are otherwise you go to jail.
4.) If you ride your bike on the stripes in the parkinglot on a hot day, you'll be engulfed in flames.
5.) Hitler, Napoleon, what's the difference? They were both mean guys who wanted to rule the world.
6.) Presidents are supposed to tell everyone what to do.
7.) If you get germs in your mouth off the floor, your head will spin and you'll turn into a dinosaur.
8.) Swallowing watermelon seeds will result in an overgrowth of watermelons in your stomach and you'll rupture.
9.) If you share germs with someone, you'll get AIDs.
10.) You need lotion so your body won't turn into sand.
11.) Women can't drive cars, it's impossible because girls hate cars.
12.) If your hair is cut short, you're a boy. If you wear a dress, you're a girl.
13.) Our skeletons have screws in them so our joints will stay together and move the way they're supposed to.
14.) When I grow up, I want to be a diabetic so I can tell people what to eat. I hate it when people eat all the sprinkle donuts.
15.) You're not cool unless you like the color green, have pushpops, lunchables and pizza for lunch and like basketball.
16.) If you think hard enough, you can fly.
17.) A hundred and one (101) is the highest number in the world because that's alot of dalmatians.
18.) Whoever this Santa Clause guy is, he better leave some of those brownies for the rest of us, that bastard.
19.) When you're 10 years old, you can drive.
20.) You can make gold out of dead grass and straw.
21.) If you're fat, you're stupid.
22.) Only grown-ups can use computers. If kids try to use them, they will explode.
23.) Eating mushrooms will make you grow tall.
24.) If you have $100, you're a millionaire.
25.) My dad weighs 200lbs so he must weigh 1 ton.
26.) You're as tall as you weigh. I'm 44lbs so I'm 44 feet tall.
27.) Touching the same object as your friend while playing tag means that they're tagged.
28.) A person's rank is based on how much they weigh. The more you weigh the greater you are. I still think fat people are stupid.
29.) If you find something cute, choke it to death and bite its head off to show how much you care.
30.) The closet is my home. Get out!

I can do #16 in my dreams about 10% of the time.


I don't recall any stupid shit I believed when I was a child. Sad thing is, I'm only 14 D:

Hmm, I try to come up with something later.

...I remember that I used to call Super Mario Bros "Video game guy" thought my parents kept correcting me on this. And I was scared by NES glitches, thinking they might be dangerous...

...I don't really recall lots of stupid ideas I had as I did learn how the world worked early on, such as how humans procreate. Might even been my parents telling me, and hey it doesn't really hurt much anyway... as the concept seems stupid for someone with zero sexual drive after all . Maybe I can manage to remember more tomorrow.

I don't remember too many things... but then again, I have a terrible long-term memory. The one thing I remember is that I thought falling asleep was really a difficult thing, and that if I moved around or opened my eyes even once, I would have to start over. You can only imagine how much easier that made it to fall asleep. It's funny though, now I don't have any problems falling asleep at all. Having an interest in dreams certainly doesn't hurt.

this is hilarious because you are like two years apart

Back in the day...
I used to think India had elephants instead of cars because of Dhalsim's stage in SF2;
I used to think everyone lived in castles in England because of Cammy's stage in SSF2;
I used to think everyone in China used those Raiden hats (Sakkat in RO) because of Chunli's stage in SF2. I also thought the guy at the back was Raiden;
I used to think Mexico was a nice country because of Thunder Hawk's stage on SSF2 (turns out I was wrong lolol);
I used to (and still do) think Jamaica is just like DeeJay's stage from SSF2;
I had no clue what URSS was back in the day, but I thought everyone lived inside warehouses like in Zangief's stage from SF2;
I never understood how Thailand could be such different places, as seen in Sagat's and Bison's stage in SF2;
I used to think I could see other part of the levels in videogames if I looked at the tv from a different angle (160º or so);
I thought the world was going to end in 1999;
I thought God existed;
I thought Mortal Kombat was real;


Ahh, my memories...!

I didn't believe any of that shit

Actually, all I remember is

My kindergarten teacher's assistant was hot as hell and I wanted to marry her. Where are you, Tanya?

EDIT:

I used to think I could see other part of the levels in videogames if I looked at the tv from a different angle (160º or so);

oh shit, I remember fucking trying to look under Chun Li's skirt while she was knocked out in SF2

Sadly, I failed.

Actually, it reminds me how I always wondered about secret levels in unreachable places. Such as the small island north of Donut plains... it puzzled the hell out of me. And same for the beta screenshots back on the SMB3 box. Seems like those levels aren't in the game at all... and I used to fantize about the beta World 1 being a secret world. :/

Same here!
That island in Donut Plains... "There could be THREE stages there! "
The Vanilla Caves had a similar effect...as did the...Forest...World...
"There's this blue spot on the overworld map, but once I go into the mini-map, it's gone! THERE MUST BE A STAGE THERE!"

My dad got me to believe that "back in the old days", traffic lights were lit with a candle. Same with televisions.

Uhmmm..

Off-topic...but the first time I heard Vega's theme song from Street Fighter 2 at the local corner store, I WAS PUMPED!
I rode home on my bike yelling out the tunes (out of tone, ofcourse) whilst peddalling as fast as I could. Must've been 5 - 8 years old or something.

*Thinks*

If I didn't take a running leap onto my bed, some monster would get me or something.

My brother and I used to call out "Green, green, green, green etc..." at a red traffic light, and when it turned green, we felt we had a huge part in it.

One major thing I recall is being convinced that if I put enough Maple worksheet files into a folder together, they'll somehow react and turn into an EXE file after a while. That was when I was like 6.

At that time, I had no idea what binaries come from.

Maple worksheets were the closest to something being executed I knew apart from QBASIC (which I didn't have access to after we moved to Germany anymore).
