Funny/Stupid Things You Thought As a Kid...

Just that dumb stuff that only small children think.
I'll go first.
The Presidential Race.
Dad was a big NASCAR fan(I was a big fan of Wacky Races), so when he said the presidential candidates were racing for office. I assumed they were going to be in some sort of vehicle and whoever crossed the finish line first would be the President. Still think that's as a good a method as any.
Launch Window.
News kept talking about the shuttle waiting on a launch window. My child brain only knew one kind of window that opened. It was made of glass. So, I thought we were waiting for God to slide the window of Earth open so our shuttle could fly through, like the flies I let out of my room. So, yeah, I though the earth was encased in glass with one single window where we could escape.
Yours?

32 years later, my Dad still makes fun of me because I thought there was a playground at MLB stadiums. Why else would you call it a ball "park"?

I used to think if it was raining outside it was raining everywhere.

I thought Tracy Chapman "gimme one reason" was a dude until I was almost 30

Heat lightning, apparently.

I once asked my stepdad if the end of bread could grow back. The heel.
My line of thought was bread contained yeast, yeast grows, maybe it regenerates like some other stuff.
His response was "Maybe you can't do better in school."
It actually kinda fricked me up.

Named hurricanes really confused me, I'll say that much. I had the vague impression they were a mean person that meant me some kind of harm.

That soap bubbles became cloudy when the went down the drain. I was five and stupid.

Seems like some kid logic that might actually work sometimes.

I told my friends prudish mom that I wanted to be a prostitute growing up because I didn't know what it meant, but thought it sounded intellectual.
ETA: From what I saw on TV, I didn't think color was invented until the early 60s.

I thought that fat kids were protected from pain if they fell. That they would bounce like a ball so it wouldn't hurt as bad.

The mascots determined what type of players teams had. Then I figured the “tigers “ would beat everyone and didn’t understand how the Yankees ever won.

When I was a kid my grandparents took me to my first saints game and kept telling me about the Superdome. Dome this, dome that. I had seen the dome from the car as we drove by so I had. Mental picture of what they were talking about. When we got to the game, I was shocked that they played inside and not on top of the dome. I remember even at that young age thinking about how dangerous it was to play a sport on a sloped roof. Turns out I was an idiot

I wondered why everybody in the early 1900’s news reels walked in a quick herky-jerky motion, It seemed “normal” walking was universally accepted by late WW2 or The Korean War.

Thought that the slippery when wet road sign was a duck with a hat.
No matter how many times my dad called me retard I couldn't unstick that idea from my brain.
Then one day *poof*... it didn't look like a duck with a hat anymore.
#2: That cowboy hats were actually TV antennas for special channels that were being hid from the rest of us.
#3: Why did everybody that worked at news channels have such shitty TVs/monitors... they always had scan lines. Always wondered why they couldn't afford better and why it didn't annoy the shite out of them.
