im sorry i was 6 years old and still in bed TToTT

because alaska is always shown on american maps in the lower left corner (in a box) next to hawaii, i thought that alaska was an island near hawaii for some time as a child...

then someone told me it was on the canadian border and i was like ?!

mother: you need to understand directions just in case you get lost. which way is north?
yung kae: *points forward*

*mother turns yung kae kae another direction*

mother: what direction is this?
yung kae w/ a straight face: north.

i thought north was always the direction i was facing. i know my mother was like holy fck smh.

that i was set for life because i once held in my hand: a fat stack of monopoly cash

still remember the moment when i had the epiphany tbh. it's like a core memory rip

I have some wild childhood beliefs, whether my parents told me or I just heard it from somewhere. I have a couple funny ones that I'd like to share.

- I was told that if you don't eat your vegetables first at dinner, your stomach won't be able to digest it. I don't believe this anymore, but I still eat vegetables first at dinner (if any).

- I legit thought carrots gave you night vision. 7 Year old me was extremely devastated when they figured out it wasn't true.

- I thought the LA in "LA Fitness" was literally pronounced as "la," not as separate letters. I was laughed at a lot for that.

- I thought Canada was just another state in the US for a loooong while. Glad that got cleared up.

- I would think that every live action movie was some kind of documentary, and the events that happened really did happen. When I saw the actors/actresses in different movies, I had a bit of a crisis.

Those are just some of the funnier ones. I was a pretty stupid kid, lmao.

- seeds could sprout in the stomach if eaten
- atlantis, but in the context of it being beneath the local river
- spontaneous combustion

- that live-action movies were just animated films that were REALLY well drawn (technically true lol)
- that chanting "fart fart fart" increased the chances of catching a Pokemon
- that Shanks was Luffy's father
- that Marik, Ishizu and Odion were actual Ancient Egyptians
