It's about as close to DC as you can get without actually being in DC.

I used to think there was one guy who turned all the street lights on and off.

I thought this for traffic lights.

Same here but I was 5 when I found out it wasn't true.

Yeah. If you're a young kid I could understand thinking that. But 12? I asked my mom one day and she just stared at me. Probably thought I was braindead.

I used to think that when you went to the grocery store or any store and got change back, they were paying you to shop there or they were giving you money to be nice - 6/7

When my dad used to talk about the "good old days" when he was a kid, I used to picture him leaving in the Old West, like in the movies.

I thought he had a horse & a six-shooter, the whole deal - I was probably 8/9 when I figured out he grew up in Peterborough, just like me.

That reminds me: I used to think you had two options at the grocery. You could pay, or you could use a credit card, and get everything for free.

When we'd ask for a toy, and my mom would say we couldn't afford it, we'd counter, "But you can use your credit card!"

I used to think that you live to 100 and then on your 100th b-day you died.

Man, this thread is so funny. Half of this stuff sounds very familiar. I can't stop laughing.

I used to think gonorrhea was just a really bad case of diarrhea.

Oh, I just thought of something else.

My friend's girlfriend in college (age = 20ish), said one night, "Isn't it cool how the sun turns into the moon at night?"

I was 20 before I accidentally discovered masturbation. All of those jokes throughout junior high and high school about masturbation were all kinda met with nervous laughter from me, I honestly didn't understand what they were talking about. I obviously wasn't one of the cool kids.

I really have to ask a two questions:

1) How did you accidentally discover it?

2) Did you blow a hole in the wall?

1) I think it all happened within a few days/weeks of discovering internet pornography.

2) No comment.

I always thought "brotued" was a word that meant "sponsored" because at the end of tv shows they used to say "brought to you by" - I don't think I finally caught on until I was like 16. Idiot.

Also, I used to think you made a car go by turning the steering wheel very slightly back and forth. I couldn't see the pedals. Probably figured that one out around 7 or 8.

7 - I thought "ellemeno" was the letter between 'k' and 'p' in the alphabet.

I thought the NFL began when Archie Manning finished playing for Ole Miss.

And I couln't figure out why running backs always ran into the opponents, instead of around them.

I used to think that "Hidden Driveway" and "Hidden Entrance" signs meant that there was like a secret entrance to some underground lair hidden somewhere in the bushes. I never found any of them.

This one reminds me - I used to think "Blind Drive" meant to BE CAREFUL - you're in a zone where blind people are allowed to drive. Man, I was a dumb kid.
