Naïve/Stupid things you thought as a kid.

I used to think a massive chunk of characters who were boys in the shows I watched/games I played were just girls. Double D, the broccoli kid from Veggietales, Riku from Kingdom Hearts, etc. I thought they were girls. And it wasn't fantasizing or anything kind of thing I just shrugged my shoulders and went: "I guess they're girls, right?"

Although on the bright side I think it's a part of the reason that I'm so behind diversity in games now. When I grew up and realized so many female characters were the same character or set of feminine traits slapped onto a body I could only really scratch my head in confusion as to why that was.

-Once had a dream that rain was God's spit and believed it.

I did too, it should've been true anyway.

Shoutouts to the guy that always parks his truck in front of Gamestop when there's a Mew event.
 
That you could
revive Aeris in disc 2
if you got a secret materia in the beginning of FFVII called "Revive P" materia.
 
I thought that submitting cheats to sites like IGN or Gamespot automatically meant that it would happen in the game, so I would submit cheats that would unlock robot versions of characters in games.

The Tails Doll curse is still a thing right?
 
That the second the clock hit midnight on the day a certain food expired, it would spontaneously grow mold, get mushy, and do all the other stuff food does when it gets expired.
I don't know how or why I thought this, I mean, I ate expired food (by accident!) too many times as a kid.
 
I thought that eggs were just regular food chickens naturally produced and not unborn chick children.
 
When I was at the hospital my sister was being born at the most important thing there to me was the Power Rangers glove my Grandma gave me that day.

I thought babies had a chance of being conceived when a husband and wife kissed. This is obviously pre-birds and the bees.
 
People can't play games like Skullgirls simply for the plot, wait, I am a kid.

Holiday naivete! Go!

I didn't know that you had to send your letters to Santa before Christmas Eve and ended up putting my letter next to both the milk and cookies and thought Santa would have the things I wanted. Every year I got so frustrated that it wasn't working. I gave up when I was 11.

I have many regrets about that.
