I thought Ryu always looked like this...
Damn, does he look ugly or- ...Oh wait. Yeah, it gave me nightmare. ¬_¬
I thought 'horny' was another way of saying 'lumpy'... I learnt that I was wrong the hard way. XD
I thought 'holiday' was some beach-resort. Don't ask.
My bro mistook every chinese man as Jackie Chan. Stupid, huh?
...Then I saw this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2swiJUKaIT4
WHAT. THE. FUCK?
I thought that world-learders had the highest I.Q... Hah!
...Just looking at Mighty here used to scare the crap out of me.
I thought you can do heart-surgery on yourself. I blame a certain Doctor Who movie.
I thought the Devil would rape you in your sleep if you don't pray.
Screw Santa, I thought Captain Planet and the Super Mario Bros were real. O_o
I thought Adolf Hitler was still alive.
Monsters in your bedroom? Nah, I was afraid of lions pinning me...
I actually thought I had a twin-sister.
I mixed-up the definitions on the word 'race' so I thought 'racists' meant 'athletes'.

I also thought that Game Over in a video game literally meant game over and that you could never play it again. Then I flipped out at my dad when he proved me wrong.

One of my neighbor friends told me that if I ate the apple seeds, an apple tree would grow in my stomach...and I believed him
My dad told me that my stuffed animals played hockey at night and I believed him
A "friend" told me that hed hidden a bomb under the slide and I burst into tears in music class and told the teacher

My friends told me that Pokemon were real.
My uncle told me that the kappa monster would eat me if I stayed near a river.
My dad told me that ghosts lived in the house.
A person I thought was my friend told me that friends can have whatever you have. So he took my crystal and never gave it back.
I was a idiot back then.

I thought alcoholics were people who suddenly turns into lions.
I thought if a person laughed too much, you could suddenly die by exploding. I blame an Animaniacs episode F__F
I also thought that if your heart beat too fast, you were about to die.
And when a person dies, I thought he would come back next summer.
XDDD

I was also convinced that all animals could talk to each other and just chose not to speak in front of humans (except some parrots) and spent ages trying to convince my aunt's cat to talk to me. Didn't work, sadly.
I did, for a short time, think that, if you buried something, eventually a tree would grow that would have whatever you planted as fruit; for example, if you buried a coin, you'd get a money tree eventually. The reasoning behind this was one of my parents' friends showing me a huge oak tree that he said he's made by planting an acorn. I was all, "Hell, if you can do that; why would anyone want an acorn tree?"
I used to think that all other countries actually spoke English and switched to a nonsensical babble as soon as I went on holiday there. God only knows why >.>
I used to think that ATM machines just handed out money to adults when they wanted it. Oh, if only.
I once thought that if you spoke into your TV's speakers, the people on TV would be able to hear you.
That's all I can think of offhand. This thread is so cute. ^_^

I would punch a hobo for a flying car!
Actually, I would love to have a talking dog like Astro. I would punch a bunch of hobos for a Talking Dogs.

Just kidding! But it was actually a Clerks skit reference.
When I was little, I thought Americans redrew all the mouths to fit the English script when they dubbed anime. >_<

Oh, I thought you going for a Klondike bar joke like most people do.
Wait, You mean they don't redraw the mouths during dubbing? I really thought they did.

No, they do a lot of clever timing with their scripting. It's a lot easier to pull off for anime than live action movies.

I used to think my shadow was a circular section of the throw rug. I'd be like, "Hey Mom, is that My shadow?" *Point to Center of Throw rug*
Mom: *Sees Shadow in area I'm pointing* Yes dear.
When I was 5, I didn't understand the concept of currency, so on a trip to Canada for a sheep dog herding competition I tried to pay for candies with some sand that I found in the nearby playscape. The attendant was, understandably, unsure what to do with herself.
I thought that the "Super Mario Club" that you saw in the Credits of some games were just a bunch of people who liked Mario games, and to enter all you needed to do was know silly trivia, like Luigi jumps better then Mario, or Toad runs fast, or even, Mario RPG is the Best game ever!
I thought NOA was a typo for 'Noah', and thought that after the flood he came back to work on Nintendo video-games.
That the internet was really just an online encyclopedia for school work and resource for games that aren't very fun or have much point.
When we first got internet, I noticed there was a section for games on AOL, and I really wanted to play them. But my parents wouldn't let me until they received their email from some important person. Remember, this is back when the internet was new, so I thought that it would give you an alert message just like a regular application. So I sat patiently in-front of the monitor while my folks watched 2-3 soap operas.
Seriously, I waited patiently and eagerly for the message to show up. Just siting in eager anticipation for the screen to change. I was just 'slightly' disappointed when I learned that you had to 'check' for email.

~I thought I had to "become an adult" by age of 11. (Valuable advice, DO NOT rush maturity, especially if you don't know what it truly means to be mature.) I blame television for this, and my father.
~When I lived in New Jersey and 9/11 happened I cried my eyes out because I was afraid New Jersey was going to get attacked.
~I wanted to marry my brother, but before anyone freaks out, I was 4 when I made this bloody decision. (GoAheadAndLaugh!)
~I thought the Super Nintendo was scary. (Why was I so stupid as a toddler?!)
~I thought I met my first love at the age of 5 but I think I watched too many Disney videotapes.
~When my dad told me to pick up my toys before we went to restaurants I asked, "If we don't pick up our toys will the restaurant not let us in?" My father said yes.
~I thought pregnancy happens out of no where. (Don't ask.)

-I used to think the older you got, the taller you would get.
-I had a Yoshi Mario Kart action figure, and then when one of it's arms broke, I thought it was actually in pain. So I gave it a bandaid and even gave it bed-rest.

I forgot that...I used to think tallness equals age (*punches myself*) and the reason why you needed to move out of your parents house as an adult is because you would become to big for the house...Yeah, I was really stupid as a kid. v_v

I also used to think in-laws included your family by blood.
And once, I thought end-of-year report cards weren't something you had to show parents because it was the end of the year. And as long as the bottom line said "promoted," then it was all good.
I never considered myself a "girl gamer," but I played tons of video games as a kid. I thought the boys in my class would appreciate that fact, but they always just looked at me like I was some sort of alien. Guess they
And I used to think fat was strictly genetic, that the gods favored my brother over me when it came to being fit. Because we all ate the same thing and played in the same pool and had gym class at the same school, so damnit, why was I ballooning year after year? Well, genetics did play a role, but it also isn't necessary to eat my weight in cereal every morning, and then eat everything on my plate regardless of how I feel. Of course, years down the road, our fitness situations are reversed... he used to brag about burning off everything as soon as he'd eaten it...and now he has to work at staying in shape!

He was voicing some huge Mario on a screen live, and I thought it was actually Mario. So when he saw me and said my name, I freaked out and ran away crying because the giant Mario was talking to me!

Uh, once my mom and her.... then guy-friend I guess. I dunno if they ever were a proper couple. Luckily, it was late at night, I was very young and my mind was too focused on how cute and funny the cat (the reason why I went into her room in the first place) was for having climbed on top of the vertically-placed couch to notice any movement. The still is still in my head, but overall I manage to suppress it.... at times I still hear her with her now-lover, though.... oh, I so wanna cry and puke in the corner and claw my face out right now...

That's always something I hate about people having sex. The noise. I'm not saying they shouldn't make noise, denying themselves noise would be a damper on the mood, but... can't they build the houses so that you can't hear what's going on there? One of my walls is so thin, I can hear my mom's room on the opposite side and the neighbours above me, who seem to have fun a bit often lately.

I sat next to a pregnant student my senior year and once she finally got the baby out of her and she was able to attend school again she and her friends randomly talked about how safe sex no longer became safe and I was sitting next to them hearing it all to the point where I screamed begging them to stop...Yes I know I wasn't part of that conversation.
