I think there might have once been a time when I thought it was the same time no matter where you were in the world.

When younger thought when they said grandpa had gone, that I read a war story down the toilet. As I thought it was where the goldfish went lol.

( Wonder if any Aspie thought the world was FLAT. Maybe find out where it came from. j/k Maybe. :/ )

That, and Liverpool - Liberfool - a lot of people where I'm from still do. Laughing I also thought 'making eyes' would literally mean blinking at someone to signal them you're interested - I did that to my crush. Shocked

I thought a blow job just meant snogging a lot.
That 13 year olds were super grown up.
That highschool would be just like an American children's sitcom.
Gareth Gates was the cutest, most gorgeous person to ever exist.

I did. I actually had a hard time with the fact that the world was round. I didn't figure that out until I was like 8. I asked my parents what "the first country" was.

-I thought that English was the only language anyone could understand and when people spoke other languages, no one could understand

-I thought that babies got in their mom's tummies when the mom asked God to put one in there

-I thought all bands were marching bands

-I thought that people I considered "ugly" couldn't have a sense of humour

-I thought that if someone had long hair, they were a girl, and if they had short hair, they were a boy

-I thought that if someone owned a horse, they would keep in their house and let her/him out when he/his wanted to like an outdoor cat or a dog

-I thought that I was one of the only in the world with grandparents

-I thought everyone died on their 100th birthday

-I called my great-grandmother, my "grape-grandmother"

-I thought that the grade 2 students (and older) would always look HUGE to me (this was when I was in Kindergarten),

-I thought that the reason why my parents didn't offer me alcohol, was solely because they didn't think I'd like the taste

-I thought if someone got drunk once, they would end up being drunk for the rest of the life, even if they never had another drink

-I thought the dad was involved so when the mom went to the mall, the child would have someone to look after them, but had no role in making the child (enough said)

-I thought that men bought their body hair (which I called "fluffies") and that women bought their breasts (which I called "ashes")

-I thought that my cat was the biggest cat in the world (and she was actually quite small) because when I went to the SPCA to visit once, their was a cat that was smaller than my cat

-I thought that if I played with kids I didn't know and just met on the playground, they would kill me

-I thought that hair could be any colour, including pink, naturally

-I thought the math I'd do in high school would just be adding really, really, really, really high numbers

-I thought that "North American Indians" were the same as "Indians from India"

I thought all babies were born with clothes on.

I thought my aunts and uncles were just my mum's friends.

I thought everybody was really mature and serious at High School (before I started up there).

I thought the Earth was flat (I think most kids do).

I thought all cartoons were real, not animated drawings.

I thought Father Christmas was one of my mum's friends

I thought baby girls were made in the mum's womb, and after knowing that men can't get pregnant, I wondered how boys were made.

I thought I would be a little kid forever.

I thought everybody saw me as a completely different person to what I really was, for some reason.

I thought every time you see a policeman, he will come and arrest you.

I thought radiators had to be on constantly all the time, even in the summer.

I thought dragons were real, right up to the age of 13.

I thought people kiss people in authority when they leave, like bus-drivers kissing every passenger or shop assistants kissing every customer

I thought once a women starts her periods, she got them every single day for the rest of her life

I thought the wall outside the local supermarket was really high, when it actually comes upto my waste now.

I thought you caught chicken pox from chickens.

I thought cancer was a virus what you can catch from other people.

I thought teachers had a special tool where they could watch me what I was doing at home, then if I was naughty they'll give me a detention in school.

I thought my brother was all grown up when he was 7 because he was going up to Junior School and I was just starting school

I thought 10 o'clock was really really late and used to feel worried if I was still up near that time

I believed that the actual world before around 1950 was all black and white, and then suddenly around that time it changed to color (because all the old movies were black and white).

I believed that dogs could run faster than us because their back legs are longer than their front so they were always running downhill.

I thought that adults usually knew what they were talking about, even when what they were saying sound wrong or crazy.
I recall believing that the moon would chase me home when I was in a car late at night.
That if I dug deep enough in my backyard, I would find a new dinosaur species.
That girls were too busy trying to stay pretty to have any real fun with.
That I might end up married to my elementary school music teacher one day.
