I think some of the newer ones have them now, can bring him to one

I thought when people died in movies they really died. I thought it must really be an honor to be on tv to get people to volunteer for it.

I thought radio broadcasters had to climb to the top of the antenna while they were on the air. I only discovered this when I asked my mom how they could get down so fast during a thunderstorm and she laughed so hard that she almost wrecked the car.

Hulk Hogan was champion and best fighter, so why didnt we send him to beat up Saddam Hussein.
Similarly, I was always confused why Army football team got their asses kicked by other colleges. How is GI Joe getting his arse kicked by these college sissies? My dad never really had an answer for me.

I was related to the garbage man. My uncle is 12 years older than me and told me it was his cousin. I brought him a Delaware punch when he passed by the next Saturday.

I thought my parents were rich as frick because they had a house, a boat, and two cars.

Always thought anyone on TV was rich. Like super rich millionaires, all of them.
You can imagine my surprise when my dad went on TV on the local news and I was like "well shite, where the hell is all of our money?"

Mid 1960's and I'm a young one, and my parents are talking about one of my uncles working "shift" work.
Well, 90% of the vehicles I was aware of then had 3 on the tree.
And of course I thought my uncle was working on transmissions and gear shifters.

All dogs were boys and all cats were girls.

My family went on a lot of road trips.
I grew up in Zachary.
When I was 6 or 7, I became confused as to how we could go north on Hwy 19 and get to Mississippi and also go east on I-12 and get to Mississippi.
I asked my dad if we were completely surrounded by Mississippi.

I "learned" somewhere at an early age, that if you drink milk while eating fish you would die.
Brave and suicidal in my 30s, I tried it.
Guess what?

When I was 5 or 6, I had the belief that all adults were at least somewhat intelligent.
And, well, now I’m a fully grown adult that posts on the OT.

I thought when I saw steam coming out of smoke stacks that these were "cloud factories". I legit thought this is where clouds came from.

I used to think picking your nose would stretch your nostrils out.
My FIL tells a story about my wife: The first time she caught her own fish she wanted to help him clean it. So they get home and she runs to the house and the runs back out only to see her dad nailing her catfish to the tree. She was horrified. She thought they were going to literally "clean" it with soap and water. She ran inside when they first got home to get a bucket and dish soap.

I thought that when music was played on the radio, the band was in the radio station playing it.

I fell and had a fracture in a knuckle when I was about 8. Iced it down and taped it to the next finger but it swelled up pretty bad. While I was icing it down I was watching TV and a commercial for preparation H was shown. Hmmm…here’s a product that reduces swelling. I’m sold! I show up at little league practice the next day with the afflicted finger smothered in preparation H from a tube I found in one of our bathrooms. Every now and then one of my childhood friends brings it up.

I used to think everyone who worked at the bank was rich and that when my mom would go to the drive thru and get cash that they were just giving it to her because they were rich..
I remember learning about the eye of a hurricane because, before I did, I thought the eye somehow let the storm see were to go.
I was like 5 or 6 when the family dog died, which they had before I was born. I guess because I never saw her as a puppy, I thought puppies stayed puppies and adult dogs were just adult dogs. I guess how I also used to think a stork brought babies to parents.
