Things you used to think as a kid Thread

I used to think that in the year 2000 everything would start to float

That if you put rocks on the grill they would turn into baked potatoes.

Santa Claus didn't really come down the chimmney, but rather, would drop off the presents at the post office for our parents to pick up.

You would get chicken pox from touching uncooked chicken

Coffee was poison.

Ninja turtles really did live in the sewers

If there was something strange in your neighborhood you could call Ghostbusters

The highest rank in the military was 'G.I. Joe'

I used to believe all of those futuristic sci-fi programs.

That home robot maids would be available in 2005, and we'd have flying cars like the Jetsons in 10 years.

Don't think that'll be coming up anytime soon

everything I was told just because someone older than me told me... now I look back onto that point in my life (also after watching Fight Club) and wonder why did I just listen and accept what they said?

that my sister could magically melt the butter faster on my toast. all she did realy was smear it with her hands while my eyes were closed .

I always thought one day I ight find a power ranger badge

I was always looking for dead bodies in the back yared. Because dead bodies are always near buried treasure!
