Dumbest Thing You Believed

[PrimeCy]

What's the dumbest thing you were told when you were a kid that you believed?

I think mine was that if you ate the exact right amount of food you wouldn't have to poop.

 

[KnappShack]

I believed that children were our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way

They grew up and are now ass holes

I believed if you showered during a thunderstorm, you would get struck by lightning.

That my Dad would get pulled over if I turned on the dome light in the car at night while the car was moving.

That when my child grew out of the infant stage I would feel more rested and not tired all day long. Boy was I an idiot.

Babies are not magically sent by a stork. Thanks Disney

That my Dad would get pulled over if I turned on the dome light in the car at night while the car was moving.

They used that one on me too.

They used that one on me too.

Dads amirite?

 

[TiedieCy2022]

up until recently I believed that surrogates had to have sex with the father of the baby they carried. I am 25 and I found out that wasn’t the case when I was 18.

Being loud scared the fish away.

All the fire, brimstone and retribution hallucinations from the Book of Revelations. Scared the snot out of me when I was a kid. My first contact with Mean Jesus. He was so nice in the first part of the NT.

Being loud scared the fish away.

We must have had the same dad. And the same fish. No talking.

I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not for our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex. - Jack Handey

No joke, is that not true?

 

[wxman1]

"Firmly entrenched", "Trust the process" etc.

 

[AgronAlum]

No joke, is that not true?

That line is from a dad that wants everyone to STFU. That being said, I've used it a few times.

If it's above water, the noise isn't doing anything to the fish.

That a passport could survive the impact

And maybe some other things about that day.

When I was little my brother punched me & broke my nose. My Mom told me it was probably just sprained in effort to calm me down. 6 weeks later I think she started to believe me.

If it strikes your house while you're in there, it can travel through the metal pipes. The odds aren't high, but the threat is real.
