Hey Pandas, What Is The Weirdest Thing You Have Misinterpreted Or Misunderstood? (Closed)

I used to think as a child that when people got divorced, they dressed up in their tuxedoes and wedding gowns and walk backwards down the aisle until the priest/ judge pronounced them unmarried.

So you know that goes hit me with your best shot? For years, I thought it said hit me with your pet shark!

I thought 2020 was going to be a good year

My mum asked me if I wanted to go boating with her at my school, which I thought was awesome. I had an elaborate vision of all the playgrounds filled with water with rubber ducks floating past, and pictured shooting down the accessibility ramps like a waterslide.
Although it turned out my school was being used as a polling station and my mum was voting, not boating.

I thought that people liked me, for like 11 years

That when someone is following you on social media they follow you everywhere you go in real life. (I was 9 when I thought this XD)

constipation instead of condensation UwU

I thought that everything from movies and books is true when I was young. Imagine that. One example is I always talked to the animals I saw them (from the jungle book). I thought that if someone dressed in black and wore sunglasses, they would be spies or a bad guy. I would interrogate them and let's just say that it was embarrassing

Ok so when I was 19 my brother and I lived together in an apartment bc neither of us could afford to live on our own. This guy came to stay with us just for the weekend (we felt bad bc he said he had no where to go). Anyways we had a pantry in our apartment and we were storing this metal bed frame in it but it kind of stuck out a bit and we kept banging our foot on it. So one day my brother comes home ( he’s older than me) and I’m there with that guy when my brother knocks his foot into the bed frame again. He starts yelling at me saying I need to get rid of the damn bed frame (it was mine) by tomorrow. Now at this point the guy we’d let stay the weekend had now been there for a week. So knowing that my brother avoids confrontation with anyone outside of his family I start thinking this must be code for make sure this guy is out by tomorrow. So the next day I’m asking all my friends if they’ll take this guy bc he still has no where to go. Unfortunately I find nothing. So my brother comes home and I say bro I’m sorry the guy is still here and he’s like wtf are you talking about and I’m like you know you used code for the bed frame and he’s like no I literal just meant the bed frame

this was recent about a week ago a had a thought. if people in England call moms mums, do they call dads duds?

When I was in second grade we were learning math. My teacher asked me what 400+300 was. I said "200!". I was amazed to find out that there are, indeed, numbers bigger than 200.

I used to think that my parents were just robots when I was about 4-y-o and I thought that they were like robot bodyguards or something. I don't know why I thought that lol

Pusheen the Cat . (P-uh-sh-eeeen) is my all time favorite cartoon and Plushie (I have like 50 plushies).
When i first got introduced to Pusheen the Cat I thought her name was pronounced "POO-SHEEN". as if the POO WAS SHINY.

You know that song Get Lucky by Daft Punk?

Well

When it came out I was like 7 or 8 and I thought the lyrics said “Muh-muh-muh-Mexican sun, Muh-muh-muh-Mexican sun, Muh-muh-muh-Mexican sun, Muh-muh-muh-Mexican lucky”

My parents never told me otherwise

Traffic lights changed colors because tiny workers lived inside and controlled them.

A couple of years ago when I was in middle school the teacher sat me next to this super popular kid who I'd never even spoken to. Don't know how it came up but he asked me if I was a furry. I thought he asked if I was fluffy and said yes because I was confused and now I will never speak to him again...

My teacher: We're doing a party! Come here on Sunday and wear a costume! And you, Noelle, you said that you'll bring ice cream, right?
5 year old me: Yes!
SUNDAY
Me: *shows up wearing an ophthalmologist costume* I BROUGHT THE EYE CREAM!!!

First, you don't have to be a kid to misunderstand things. I mishear things all the time. But once my mother was telling me about this little girl at this preschool she runs, and was telling me how the little girl was dressing up as a character from the musical Hamilton, and I asked "isn't she a little young for that?" my mom said "Yeah, but I think her family tries to push media with lots of racism." She actually said "Yeah, but I think her family tries to push media with lots of different races in them.

persfective instead of perspective =|

I'm a church going Catholic. When I was at school when I was about 6, during a religion class, our teacher asked what were the different names we had for God? I said "Peter." "No" our teacher said, Peter was the name of one of the apostles". "But that's what the everybody calls him at the end of Mass" I said. She asked me what I meant. I said "well the Priest says "go in peace to love and serve the Lord" and everybody says "Thanks Peter God." She then informed me that what everybody said was "thanks BE TO God not Peter God".
