Hey Pandas, What Did You Grossly Misunderstand As A Child?

I thought that double-spacing meant actually putting two spaces between every word. I did it that way until sixth grade.

When I was a kid and I saw a movie with actual people I thought it was a true story.
Afterwards I’d go around asking what happened to the characters and even my classmates looked at me funny because I didn’t get that they were actors….

I thought a period comes out (they're not literally called "periods" in my language) all at once, instead of torturous 7 days.

To sum it up, when my parents had “the talk” with me, I interpreted it into “mommy and daddy have to take a c**p in the same toilet without flushing, being completely naked, and a baby would spawn out of the toilet” I don’t know how I interpreted it this way, but I somehow did.

I was 10 and my older sister and parents were having a sex talk. When was listening I knew what it was and I thought ejaculation was when the woman ate the guys penis

By grossly i think you mean large but i have something that i misunderstood that was gross in both ways i thought the birds and the bees was that the bee was the boy and that the stinger was his you know what and thats how baby’s were made and then finally delivered by the storks

I once asked my mom where babies came from, and I think I misunderstood her saying “they come from a bean” and for the next year or so I refused to eat beans because I thought it was illegal, I was like 4 but god was I wrong.

I thought when you kissed a girl, a stork would bring a baby to your door step..

Sorry for ruinin ur child hood but ya...... you know the five lil piggys and how the last one goes wee all the way home well.... the piggy who goes to the market, that didnt mean he was goin shoppin.... the piggy who went to the market is actually headed to the chop house if u know wht i mean.... again sry 🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷

Well, when I was around 3-4 (a long, long time ago) one of my mum's goldfish died. She told us (my brothers and I) that it had 'gone to Heaven'. What mum didn't know is that I had seen her flush it away down the toilet. So I believed that every time I used the toilet my 'offerings' went to Heaven.

I thought that the earth moved when you drove in a car or a bus

That girls poop too! (Still gross!)

That death is certain. And I'm not immortal!

That there were people who spoke different languages. I thought that they were just playing around. Now I know. :)

I thought squirrels worked the traffic lights from the inside. As in they wore hardhats and uniforms and had a set of buttons for them to use to do so. No one thought kids would actually think that until Bluey.

Ok so this is something that I misunderstood until my late twenties....turkey basting. Since childhood I was grossed out because I thought the baster was like a douche if you catch my drift...

That men and women couldn’t sleep in the same bed ( unless they wanted to or whatever ) because they might kid in their sleep, which I thought for people pregnant

I thought that when you went grocery shopping and you paid whatever you needed.... you got your money back. I remember the shock when it dawned on me what my mom talked about when she talked about getting change back.

I was about 6 years old when I realized that summer break was not exactly as long as the school year. I was shocked and a little depressed to understand that the school year was 9 months and summer break only 3 months. (U.S.) I guess I was mathematically challenged…

When I was little I thought that everyone was born with a weenie and then after you got a little older, it just disappeared. After all, I didn't have one! Then one day I saw my little boy cousins at the pool, and they clearly had weenies! I thought they would have disappeared by then and I was so confused.
