Ok, I can't even believe someone believed this.....

One day at a job I used to have, one of my co-workers said she used to think that the moon and the sun were the same object I said what?!. I asked if she never saw the moon in the daytime sky and she said she never did. I then asked her how she explained the fact that the moon caught on fire in the daytime and cooled down at night and she said she never even thought about it? How on earth can something like that just never enter your mind to question? Wow!

Santa Claus.

You had a shit childhood.

benyamin said:

nope. i'm just weird. & i always thought the bible was supposed to be taken as mythology like greek/roman/egyptian stuff, and was a bit surprised to find out other people took it seriously.

Do I need to relive this whole 'lemon is a ripe lime' thing again.

no.

Imago said:

THAT'S what it was. I was sitting here trying to think of it.

Imago said:

But that really isn't that outrageous a leap. It's believable if you didn't know better. But the sun is the moon is the sun?!

I remember telling someone here about us israelis, still living in tents and buying wives with camels

I believed I shared my "Al La Cart" confusion too.
I used to think it was a fancy French desert.

I used to think Ernie & Bert were real people. I remember my brother telling me they were puppets.

Actually, no, I just put it in the databank. I was probably just happy my brother was talking to me.

I remember when I was younger I asked my grandma what the world was like when it was black and white. She looked at me confused and asked what I meant and I mentioned the black and white TV, thinking that was the reason why the shows weren't in color because the world used to be black and white not because the TV itself was black and white.

In my defense, I was only 5 years old

benyamin said:

no, i really did when we first started talking. i thought you were just weird online. how naive.

NDRU said:

yeah, that

wtf?

I know 3 adults who thought Mars was hot because it was red in color.

It never occurred to them it had anything to do with Iron oxide.

I thought the sky was covered with clouds at night blocking the sun.

Many years ago when the first catholic priest scandals started hitting the news, my grandmother (my dad's mom) pulled my mother aside and said she kept hearing about it in the news, but she didn't know what oral sex was and asked my mom about it. My mother, not knowing what to say, just told her "gosh, I don't know".

Imago said:

That's right!! Your sister had to tell you!!

CarrieMpls said:

Wow! Did you educate them?

horatio said:

I'll poop into your butt and you can poop it back into mine

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

oh, this was YEARS ago. I was probably 10 or so at the time.

And my mother knew! She just couldn't say it to my grandma.
