I recently discovered that my cat thinks no one can see her if she hides under a towel on the examination table at the vet's office.

Haha. Mine does that too, around the house.
I have one of those platform beds that has an overhand around it, and the blanket hangs off the side, providing some pretty decent cover when we're stalking each other... he'll hide, only put his head under it, thinking I can't see the rest of him, so I touch his back and he jumps and goes "brrrrmmp!!"

This thread fills me with joy. It's a shame I can't seem to remember much of how I saw the world as a child.

I thought pineapples grew on trees. I was totally shocked when I found out they grew on bushes when I was 15.
We used to watch America's Funniest Home Videos every night, and I used to change into my nightie in the kitchen because I thought Bob Saget could see me through my TV.
I thought cow-tipping was slang for doing drugs.
I thought I could get away with peeing in the doorway of my room and telling my mom I spilled water.
I thought for years that I had no father at all (he was not a part of my life), and was aghast when my teacher told me everybody has a daddy.

I thought about a thousand words had a different meaning because someone mispronounced them.

Oh good.

Wasn't just me then.

One of the first things that came to mind when I saw this thread.

Stupid Things You Thought When You Were A Kid?

- There was a ‘God’
- Only men had nipples
- Everything was evil
- If you eat cucumbers before bed you’ll have nightmares
- When I was young (maybe about 6) I was told “When you think of naughty things your ‘ding-ding’ (as they called it) will grow”… (Well, this is in fact true…good times)

I thought my toenails had feelings, so I said goodbye to them when my mother clipped them.

I thought sex was akin to an acid trip and I would see flying colors and shapes.
