This blows my mind... wow.

When I was a kid, I didn't know that you had to learn how to swim if you wanted to swim. A friend invited a bunch of people over to his house and he had a swimming pool in his back yard. A bunch of kids jumped in and started swimming, so I automatically thought I knew how to swim. Being the smart guy I was, I jumped right in and was struggling to keep afloat. Luckily, my friends mom pulled me out and gave me these and all was well.

Edit: This happened in the second grade or something.

I remember being about 4 years old and thinking that moustaches grew above, not below, the nose. I don't know why I thought that, maybe I didn't know anyone with a moustache.

i didn't know what capital punishment was, and I wrote a whole in-class essay (in about 6th or 7th grade) talking about how people can return to capital punishment. Apparently, my teacher meant the kind that you got killed in. :confused:. He said the essay was alright, except that I didn't understand the title of the essay.

Also, a couple of years before sex-ed, I thought people used to have sex for fun. And one night, in a hotel, I was in my room, and turned on the telly, and realized it was an movie set in, maybe, the 1800s, and they started having sex, and I was like, they had sex back then?

Also, around 6th grade, there was news about guerilla warfare in some country in Africa, and I was like, why the eff are the fighting gorillas. Then, a couple of weeks later I saw it on the news and it was guerilla, not gorilla and I was like: Ohhh...

I had a girlfriend, who was PO'd because she was PMSing, and I was talking to my friend about her, and how she was acting, and he was like, she's probably PMSing, and I'm like: :confused:

Until I was 10, I thought babies came out of the anus.

In the second grade I though a powerplant was a plant(trees) that made electricity.

The one on video I had to watch in health class in HS was wtfjesuschristdisgusting enough without that, I think crap in addition to the birth itself would have sent me over the vomitous edge.

Similar, I had no idea what female genitalia looked like until I was 9 or 10 and found a few pages of a porno mag on the sidewalk. It had been the subject of much, much curiosity until then :p

This thread reminds me of the German couple about which there have been a few threads :laugh:

That's what I mean. Basically, I didn't know the meaning of the phrase, and made the zhole essay incorrect.

They do, but I thought it was solely for the purpose of fun, as in: there was nothing else to it; but pumping ;). I didn't know it was used to make babies.

If you have to roll back the skin to avoid peeing on yourself, you are whole. If not, you've been cut.

If you're American and over 16, you're most likely cut.

When I was a kid I thought that when a woman wanted a kid she would just push her belly button to start the whole process.

Just so you know, looking at pics of wangs won't make you gay ;)

Your right. Having one in your mouth is the problem.

And OP you have never looked at p0rn. I've never really seen an uncircumsized guy in one of those.

...I have once

Stuck up, rich, snooty family? That's abut he only kind of people I can envision laughing about place-settings. :confused:

More like stuck-up, upper-middle-class-really-TRYING-to-look-rich family if you ask me.

You don't have to roll back the skin to avoid peeing on yourself...at least, 80% of the time you don't.

When I was around six, my friend and I took a bottle of some liquor and poured an entire glass of it. One sip, we realized we didn't like it and poured the rest down the drain.. To "cover our tracks" we filled the bottle back up with our urine (somehow it made sense at the time). My friend's grandad was the unlucky one to taste the result. My friend and I got grounded for a long time.

In Canada during fall, all the house rake the leaves to the curb so they can be picked up by the city. I grew up on a cul-de-sac so it was common during the first few weeks of fall to have a ring of leaves around the street.

Same friend and I decided it would be a good idea to drop a lit match into the pile of dry leaves. We waited for a few seconds only to be disappointed that nothing caught fire. We started to walk to the end of the street when we heard a scream. The leaves were burning and the fire was spreading around the street very quickly.

The fire department ended up coming and putting out the fire. He and I got grounded again for a long time.
