Being a kid was so great… no responsibilities, endless play-dates, and never having to count our calories. Not to mention that ignorance was bliss– we didn’t have a worry in the world because we were so naïve. As a matter of fact, a lot of kids make some interesting assumptions about random things. Here are a few thoughts people may have had when they were kids that seem foolish now as an “adult.”
-
Tic Tacs were medicine that made your head feel better
-
The garage door opened itself when the car was approaching, and the blinkers had magic powers as well
-
If a candy bowl on Halloween said “please take 2,” you would get busted for taking more than 2
-
If you ate a watermelon seed, a giant watermelon might grow inside your stomach
-
The word “bum” was spelled as “bumb,” because it followed the same rule as the spelling of “dumb”
-
Chocolate milk came from brown cows, and white milk from white cows
-
Training bras were only for the summertime– it was necessary to wear camisoles during the winter
-
High school would really be a musical, and everyone would be in it together
-
The “eject” button for the car’s CD player would actually allow your parents to eject you from your car seat if you were misbehaving on a long drive
-
Crossing your eyes would make them stuck that way for life
-
Shirts with monkey faces on them were cool
-
Kidney beans were real kidneys taken from small animals
-
It was a realistic goal to be competing on Dancing with the Stars by the age of 16 (as a professional dancer? Or a celebrity? Either one was plausible to you!)
