• From believing in ghost cows to thinking that the world used to be black and white,
the Planet Dolan crew re-enact even more of the best true stories from our subreddit about
the dumbest thing we believed when we were little.
I'm Melissa/Nixxiom and today I'll be your narrator.
Number 10 was submitted by swat_kidd Pringle
When Pringle was little, he loved watching his favourite TV shows including Pokémon.
While watching the show he thought that he if could break the screen, he could go into
that world.
So he went to the garage to find a bat.
The next time his favourite show came on he smashed the TV screen.
Of course nothing happened and Pringle was left with broken glass that he stepped on.
His parents rushed into the room when they heard the smash, and immediately called 911,
and Pringle was sent to the hospital.
When his mother asked him why he smashed the TV, Pringle replied that he thought it was
a portal to another world.
Number 9 was submitted by Marko-tro157 Emojie
When Emojie was a kid, he had a huge fascination with Indian culture.
The weirdest part was that he thought it was common in India for people to have the power
to breathe fire, teleport and float while doing the lotus position.
He even thought that all elephants in India looked like the god 'Ganesha'.
This came from the fact that he loved playing 'Street Fighter' in the arcade as a kid,
so assumed that all Indian people had similar abilities to 'Dhalsim'.
Number 8 was submitted by ShadowStaar Andie
Back in the 5th grade when Andie had little to no knowledge of sex, her best friend told
her that one could get pregnant by just kissing.
Immediately she began internally panicking, as she heard this.
Andie remembered that way back in the day she had been playing pretend with her cousin
that she was Princess Zelda and he was Link.
He "saved" her somehow, and to permform their roles correctly, they kissed - just a little
peck of course.
Andie thought that maybe the pregnancy was just dormant for about 7 years and she was
going to just suddenly conceive a baby some time in the next week.
Number 7 was submitted by Santademonreal Tolop
When Tolop was little, he thought Europe was a planet.
One of the main reasons he thought this was because he'd seen a cartoon in which an
alien claimed to be from Europe.
Tolop had also seen an educational musical cartoon, about pilgrims, in which It described
North America as the "new world", and Europe as the "old world", which probably added to
his confusion.
He misinterpreted this as meaning that humans settled on Earth from the planet Europe.
Thankfully, no embarrassment ever occurred because of these misconceptions, and nobody
ever knew about them until after he was well aware that Europe is actually, a continent.
Number 6 was submitted by Darkblaze4579 Spinalpalm
The dumbest thing Spinalpalm ever believed was that the world used to be black and white.
One day his mother showed him a black and white photograph and he asked her why it looked
like that.
She answered that there was no colour when the photograph was taken.
Spinalpalm asked if there was colour outside in the real world and she said that everything
was black and white until recently.
For a few years Spinalpalm imaged that everything in the world was black and white when his
mother was younger.
Number 5 was submitted by PuntifulJokes Doopie
When Doopie was little, her neighbours had cows in the fields near their house.
One day, suddenly, they were all gone.
But instead of telling her that they went to heaven, or went to stay on a new farm,
her Dad told her they died and were buried in the fields - and that now they were ghost
cows.
So for 6 years Doopie thought that there was a bunch of dead cows in her yard, and that
the ghost cows protected her when she slept.
Number 4 was submitted by Java-I-Code-That Civil Spider
The dumbest thing Civil Spider believed when he was little was during 1st and 2nd grade.
This was the stage where girls were like aliens or some other foreign species, so having a
girlfriend at that age was like being a king.
But he had this weird idea of what a girlfriend actually was: Civil Spider thought that every
girl he talked to was his girlfriend.
So after speaking with a girl, he'd go up to all his buddies and say things like, "yeah
she's my girlfriend."
This went on until he told his cousin about all his "girlfriends" and he explained what
they actually were.
Number 3 was submitted by Kaitygrace1 Pandora
When Pandora was little she was a pretty smart kid.
But she also believed normal kid stuff like if you jump high enough off the couch you
could fly or if you put glue on the bottom of your shoes you could climb up the walls.
The strangest thing that she believed was that objects had feelings.
Not only did she think her stuffed animals had feelings but also things like clothes,
dressers, even food.
Sometimes she would feel bad if she chose one food over another because she thought
food wanted to be eaten.
Pandora only felt bad if she was eating animal crackers or dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets
because she thought any animal shaped foods had families, and whenever animal shaped food
is taken out of the bag, they are transported there and lose their families forever.
Number 2 was submitted by Hockeytanker26 Zaraganba
When Zaraganba was in first grade he didn't know what evaporation was.
When he slept he always had a water bottle next to his bed on a nightstand.
In early summer, when the days became hot, he would notice that the amount of water in
the bottle would decrease over night.
Zaraganba didn't drink any of the water so he was puzzled by what was happening.
Every night, water would evaporate without him drinking it.
So he came to the rational conclusion that a ghost was drinking his water.
He then started hiding the water so the ghost wouldn't find it, but still some of the water
would disappear.
He was so frustrated that he told his parents.
Instead of informing him about evaporation, they told him to perform weird tasks like
putting the water bottle upside down, and even putting salt on it.
The next school year Zaraganba finally learned what evaporation was and the mystery of the
water-stealing ghost was solved.
