I dont remember the age, but it was before Kindergarten, thought men came into the house at night to load the next days shows into the TV.

So many things...

I didn't understand how lie detectors were supposed to work so I thought you could hook someone up and ask something like "does god exist" and you'd be able to get answers to all of life's big mysteries.

I thought there was a left and right sock

I thought wolverines were mythical creatures

I thought if I tried hard enough I could somehow become older than my older brother like it was just a title or something

Thanks to DARE any time I saw a skittle with the S missing I thought it was drugs even in a newly opened package

I could go on..

My son was PISSED when I explained how his older sister would, in fact, always be older. He was sure he’d catch up.
