The sniffing causes brain damage anti drug commercial. Thought they meant just regular sniffing like if you had a cold.

When I was really little I thought the terms "there are 4 quarters in a dollar" and "breaking a dollar" meant that if you tore open a dollar bill 4 quarters (or 10 dimes or whatever) would be inside.

I thought the underground railroad was a legit railroad system, underground. I remember going to New York once to meet family, we rode the subway and I asked my mom if we were on the underground railroad.

I thought a baby shower was a baby taking its first shower, and I could not for the life of me figure out why that was such a big celebration everyone wanted to go see

I thought J walking were talking about walking around in Jordans. It was confusing why a store would sell shoes that were illegal to walk in.

My cousin who grew up in an all white neighborhood out of town saw my nose bleeding then said, "I didn't know black people's nose bleed (bled)."

I thought sex was always anal and women peed from their butts too.

I thought babies came out a woman's belly button. When I was about 6 I mentioned it to my older sister and she informed me that they actually come out of their "privates". I also thought at that point that girls had dicks so you can imagine my shock when I heard that

I remember early in kindergarten I argued with the teacher b/c I heard Jesus was the son of God and I was convinced Jesus was the sun.

I thought Nash Roberts and god was the same person (5yrs) - later found out (7yrs) - Nash was the closest thing we had in S/E La. when it came to believing and preparing for storms and a hard freeze.

I grew up in the 50s when cowboy and indian shows were big on TV. We used to travel from BR to San Antonio before the interstate highways were here. I remember Dad telling us we would be passing right through Indian country ( that Indian reservation near Livingston TX I think). Well, in my mind, we had to be on the lookout for Indians in war paint on horseback, like I saw on TV. I sweated all the way to Texas thinking we might be attacked. Then when we got there Dad said "There's one!". And this local Indian was walking beside the road wearing regular clothes and shoes. What?

Sorry if you think "Indian" is not PC. That's the way it was.
