I used to think that TNA wrestling was supposed to be a Divas-only promotion. I was pretty disappointed when I found out it wasn't.

I also used to think as a kid that Krav Maga was called Jew-Jitsu. It wasn't until probably my teens that I realized that Jiu-jitsu was spelled differently and was a completely different thing; I thought Brazilian Jiu-jitsu was just an offshoot from the Israeli version

Kids really do think the damndest things
 
I used to think the people who died in movies really died
I knew they were actors but I thought they paid em a lot of money and gave em like 6 months to spend it or whatever and then they filmed the movie and died
 
when I was a kid, I thought 'oral sex' meant like phone sex

Yea I thought that too
Never understood why everyone got so excited when they changed the Hotel Coral Essex to Hot Oral Sex in Revenge Of The Nerd 2
 
As a kid whenever anyone would make sexual jokes, or used unfamiliar-at-the-time words like "vibrator" -- the most innocent mental images would come to mind. For the longest time I thought sex was a man pressing his pelvis against a woman. God it's so much better than that.

No you din't; put that on your mom.
 
About a month ago I found out the hyperbole is not pronounced hyper-bowl.

I always wondered why Domino's didnt use a domino as its logo.
When I was about 24, I finally noticed that it actually is a domino.

I found out about 9/11 in 2006.
 
When I was a kid, I thought women peed out their butts. Fortunately, my years as a perverted, teenage stalker opened my eyes to the truth before I embarrassed myself too badly

this slayed me man.
 
I found a porn mag in a local public toilet. I took it home to look at properly and was disgusted.

I would still find the images disgusting today even though I like looking at hot girls.
 
As a kid I used to think that life in a small town was boring. Now I can't wait to retire away from the city and move into a rural area.

That's my dream dude! Somewhere rural with enough land to keep the dogs happy.

lol the exact same thing happened to me, I was scarred.
 
I remember seeing those old Leon's commercials - "don't pay until 1999!" - and thinking you could just run away, or that they might forget to charge you.

18 years later, I know they definitely don't forget.
 
When I was a young kid i used to think girls were used to diarrhea because i thought they peed out their buttholes since they didnt have a penis.

I rode the bus to school with a bunch of other dumbasses whose parents didn't give them the proper "talk" so our imaginations ran wild. One of my dumb friends tried to convince everyone that a blowjob was when a woman blew air into a man's dick until his balls exploded and my response was, "Why the hell would anyone want to do that?!"

3 and a half years to go for me. We're retiring and buying a small farm about 2 hours northeast of Quebec City. Land is very affordable there so I'll be getting something like 100 acres. Enough to keep me happy with the farming, have my own forested area for bird hunting, fishing.

Haha man I love this!

When I'd be in restaurants as a kid and the waiter would ask everyone "Soup or Salad?" I always thought they were saying "SUPER SALAD"! But the salads looked normal to me. I always wondered why no one chose the SUPER SALAD. It sounded amazing.

I finally figured it out years later. I'm disappointed to this day.

A girl I went to high school said that when she was younger she thought that men were supposed to have 3 dicks. One for peeing, one for sex (weird that she'd know about sex but still think this), and she didn't know what the third one was supposed to be for. She wasn't one to make shit up either, it was just out of the blue in Biology class while we were working on a project
