Whats the dumbest thing you believed as a kid? - Fish - Oct 9, 2025

When I was 7, I was absolutely convinced that if I swallowed a watermelon seed, a watermelon would grow in my stomach. My mom caught me staring at my stomach for hours, waiting for it to happen. I’m still not sure if she ever stopped laughing.

That’s such a classic childhood belief! I can totally picture you waiting for the “watermelon bump” to appear. It’s crazy how seriously we took those things as kids.😂

When I read the title... before clicking in, this was the exact thing that popped in my head! 🤣

Oh man.

My mom worked for a doctors office, and she told me that when people don't eat, their stomach comes out of their ear. Fast forward to me being 14 and my step sister had something in her ear and I asked my step mom if she had ate lately because it could be her stomach. I said with all the confidence in the world.

I mean the whole story doesn't make any sense if you think about it

I was half convinced that I WOULD finally find Narnia in SOMEBODY'S Wardrobe eventually if I checked every person's home that I went to.

They used to tell us that a kid was trapped in the school for two months, and that he died and his ghost now haunts the bathroom… damn them.

LOL. My childhood best friend believed the same thing regarding eating strawberries.

Oh God, I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I have a very blurry and fragmented memory of being placed in a shopping cart as a baby or very young toddler and thinking black people were made of chocolate.

Was definitely not expecting to see a post like this.

I believed chocolate milk came from brown cows.
I felt betrayed when I learned the truth.
