    @lilyann: oh my gosh me too! My parents didn't explain well that the traffic signal controls were handled in one large control centere somewhere and not miniature people inside the lights.

    My grandma had me believing if you swallow gum I would make my insides stick together.

    @fuzzypeaches: YES to watermelon bellies!

    I used to think my dad could make green lights magically turn on and make the garage door open. He would say "1....2....3... GO" at lights and he could time it right so it was about when the light would turn green. And he'd also get me to say "OPEN SESAME" to the garage door and he would press the button and the door would open. Woooooow!

    Embarrassingly I thought that making a baby had something to do with peeing on one another. I knew it had something to do with a girls privates and a boys privates and peeing was the only thing I knew privates did! I was blown away in 5th grade "family life class" when I learned the real mechanics of it all!

    @autumn865: hehehehe. That made me lol. Kids seriously are so funny and adult life/knowledge must just be so confusing.

    The other day our middle child asked about umbilical cords. He was totally confused about why babies had scabs on their bellies and what are the scabs for/from??? So cute.

    @.twist.: my mom did the stop light thing too! I was seriously like twenty before I realized her secret!

    I also thought there was something to the eating a seed thing. The day my mom told us she was pregnant with my sister she swallowed a watermelon seed and I always was suspicious there was a connection!

    I was very confused by chokers. I couldn't understand why anyone would wear a necklace that was choking her, and was always worried for the people I saw wearing one.

    The song that goes, "every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you," deeply disturbed me. I was convinced it meant that the person took like a chunk of skin from the other person, regularly. It didn't help that when I asked my dad to clear it up, he only confirmed my fears.

    I took things quite literally!

    @Mae: Bahahaha! I did not know this! 29 year old here still saying "Up and Adam!"

    I used to think my dad's car radio was voice controlled - He had volume and channel controls on the steering wheel. I could never figure out why it wouldn't work when my mom was driving...

    The county jail was close to my house growing up and it has a big smokestack coming out of the building. Whenever my parents would point out the jail as we drove by, I thought they were pointing at the smokestack, and naturally assumed that they just threw the prisoners down that.
