Stupid things you believed as a child

[Khaos4k]

We all had some pretty stupid things that we thought for sure were true when we were kids. Some common, some that only we thought. Yes, this is shamelessly stolen from a similar idea at somethingawful,but I'm sure some better ones will come out of here. Bonus points for ms paint.

- I thought my face would get stuck that way if I made funny faces

- I thought if I ever did anything bad in school, that it would go on my permanent record and I would never be able to go to college or get a decent job. I was a stupidly good kid.

- You know those buttons for the walk/don't walk signs? I thought there was a small man in them that worked a series of levers to change the lights. I would get pissed off at him when they didn't change fast enough.
