This.
But I was confident TV taught me how to survive it - just cut some nearby vines and pull yourself out. Quicksand almost always grows in the same area that vines grow.

One time in first grade me and another kid were sticking our tongues out at each other and they touched. I went up and asked my teacher if we were gonna get AIDS. I still remember how hard she laughed.

That almost any car that was in a wreck would burst into flames. And 100% of the time if someone shot at a car it would also blow up.

I believed that Wheel of Fortune was live in our local TV station till at least the 2nd grade.
We took a field trip in Kindergarten to the TV station and got to sit where the local news anchor’s sat at the desk. Turns out.. I had a vivid dream that night that the Wheel of Fortune set was right across from it. I never separated real from the dream until I asked my dad why we don’t go see Wheel of Fortune live since my grandmother liked to watch it every night and obviously other people go.
It was made pretty clear that there was no way the family was traveling to CA to watch Wheel of Fortune live. Realizing my multiple year error.. I didn’t mention I thought it was done locally. He may have went Archie Bunker on me.

Not aids, but you might be gay.

That catching on fire was way more common. It seems like stop/drop/roll was drilled into our heads near-weekly as kids. I've never known a single person who was, what I would consider, "on fire" at any point

We used to seriously believe that Rod Stewart nearly died on stage of an overdose of...wait for it...semen. It kind of fell apart when it started happening to all manner of public figures....

When I was very little I thought that Exxon (where my dad worked) made clouds. Considering most of the emissions are water vapor, I guess I was right.

I used to believe in a supreme being, a Christian god, and of course a devil and everlasting fire and brimstone. And of course Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny...all for the same reasons and all equally unlikely. Around 10 or so I stopped.

That shite was skeery when I was a kid LOL - always seemed like it involved a recliner. I wouldn't sit in one on a dare...would that I still wouldn't, I could probably drop a few pounds.

Kind of true in the mid 70s. Not so anymore and for the worse....

Hell it was dangerous...no telling what might snatch your young arse out of bed and get you.
I have posted this before on many message boards and it is something that many people remember from childhood but I can vividly remember an occasional hand coming up from the between couch cushions or the bed and wall when I was a kid. The damned thing never did nothing but kept me up nights. Apparently this is common...

Like my kids and all kids before me and all kids going forward I thought my parents, but especially my Dad, was some sort of God who could do anything....only to find out he was human like everyone, me included.
